They will! They do it for the Pam team because they're unified behind Ale!

All we have to do is pressure the dealers to get the factories to fix the insert.

There's been entirely far to much acceptance of this insert...it's been the wrong color for two years for Christ sakes! THE WRONG COLOR! THE WRONG COLOR!
The wrong font! The wrong pearl! The wrong depth! The wrong width!

Great score, now finish it off with a GEN crystal and dial to make this perfect.

there is not going to be any fixing of the rep inserts beyond painting the engravings unfortunately boys.

the depth, smoothness and quality of the actual engraving into the ceramic is not something that can be "redone" to match the gen. not to mention the fact that the font is incorrect as well.

the factories in question have to make a new one, end of story.

At least with some decent macros and comparison we can try and kick up a stink and hope they listen.

Although the new Noob pearl is good it still looks off, but there is little to no chance of them changing that now.

If they sort the bezel then I would settle for that...for now. Then they will nail it on V3 and make a shit dial or crown guards.

It seems as though they're doing this on purpose...if they can get Pam's right there's no good reason for this being butchered...I do think that having a gen and quality pics floating around in our community may help to bring these outrages flaws front and center.

:cheers:
just like my gen bezel 116710LN; the finish and curvature on the face of the ceramic makes for an almost mirror-like finish that reflects perfectly...and those engravings....oh my.
