First time asking for help on QC, Black Bay Red

[Dissemination]

Ok so I may have lost perspective here. This is the third watch provided to me, the first two being rejected for crooked triangle marker on dial. Because this is something that bothers me already and now I'm hyperfocused on it, I see it right away. But the reality is I'm buying a replica- and now I don't fully trust my perspective. This is better than than the other two provided to me previously.

For the record, I placed an order for six watches, accepted 4 right away and rejected the fifth simply because I asked for smooth bezel and not fluted bezel (Rolex Datejust). However due to legitimate miscommunication they sent it anyways. I didn't even make a big deal about it. So please don't take me as the type to abuse TDs and the *privilege* of QC.

Lastly, timegraph results are excellent and that is the actual function of a timepiece so I'm definitely considering that.

Crooked triangle marker on dial... am I trippin or not?
Thanks everybody!

Yep, you be tripping. Looks pretty straight to me. That's a good looking watch.

I accepted this one... triangle pointing right down the middle of the shield. On the Red it appears to me like its pointing more towards the right side.

At this point I'm wondering if I'm hallucinating haha. Or maybe it's something to do with the color scheme and how my eyes see it.

Here's one I rejected... I actually didn't notice it until I saw the lume shot... I know I am not trippin on this one. But this is where I got off hyperfocusing on it.


Anyways thanks for the feedback as well!

At first I wrote looks perfectly straight. But, if you STARE there is perhaps a slight-slight bottom tilt to the right. Is that what you see? It's so minor, I would never see it, unless pointed out. I Now, look at timegrapher results. They are very good! I personally would accept !

Yessir. That's exactly what I'm talking about lol. Maybe I'm just being picky because I almost bought this in gen cus I love it so much. I've bought reps twice as expensive with half as much scrutiny.

I had the feeling that I was losing perspective on this. I've bought reps, noticed a "flaw" only after owning it for a week, let it bug me, then got the f*ck over it.

Timegrapher results also a big plus. Best results out of any rep I've purchased actually.

Feedback appreciated from you too sir!

I know, trust me, if I know there’s a tell, sometimes I can live with it. However, an ever so slightly tilted top indice, in the end, may always be on the back of my mind, and grow with time. It really is slight, but go with your gut, and if it is something YOU can live with. Even if others post the “there reps they all have flaws” comment. Since that is not an endemic flaw, it’s not the same thing. So, I personally would be back and forth on it (thats just me). As it really is slight and great timegrapher readings, l “think” I would get it. Sorry, best can do on the advice! Let us know what you decide!

Yeah I'm on the fence. I did some more searching and it seems that the marker is crooked on the red more than other colors. But then I see one where it is perfectly aligned and...
I just want that for my life lol.

The QC department did get back to me by way of saying "maker says its within rep standards." I thanked them for their patience and asked for another picture as maybe the lighting is making it appear more crooked than it is.

I was super easy going on them with the rest of my order, even when they sent me the wrong watch. So I feel like I get a little slack on this one.

I agree it is slightly off but I had trouble telling in full light and was only apparent in lume shot. I would personally GL just based on the stellar time graph results lol. I just received a Rolex 116600 sea dweller from PT that had no visible flaws but is +18 s/d. I’d obviously prefer that to be lower so I don’t have to adjust the time once a week which is something I’ll defiantly notice. Prob notice that more than a slightly off marker that’s really only noticeable in the dark

Appreciate your feedback also Not everything is gonna be a homerun that's for sure. You can always get your watch regulated btw. Shoot, maybe I can get that marker adjusted too. I actually don't know if that's possible but if it is then problem solved.

 

[Dissemination]

I'm probably just gonna accept it regardless. And know that I have a watch with a great engine. Feel proud about that even if I know it's got a crooked marker. I've lived with worse.

Thanks again to everyone... really appreciate it.

Enjoy!!
