I can imagine that loads of TD's absolutely loathe the QC process

It is also visible in other photos, so despite not having other great mistakes I should ask for another one what do you say?

To be fair, I probably wouldnt have notice it at first and would have blamed the watchmaker after getting it service for the first time. lol.

QC was originally for confirming the correct watch, now it’s just an excuse to nitpick every minute detail. All the constant rejecting of watches does is raise the costs for the rest of us when purchasing from TDs. My personal favourite though is the dumb as F#%k “QC Tool”…..

Wait, what is a QC Tool?QC was originally for confirming the correct watch, now it’s just an excuse to nitpick every minute detail.

The following link is NSFW, you have been warned
This is the “QC Tool” being used in a tongue in cheek way, it is an absolutely useless tool.

I was merely offering my opinion based on my own observations and knowledge. No desire to cause a dust up. Though I joined RWI recently, I've owned high end reps for twenty years and seen the industry change and mature quite a lot during that time. The expertise on this forum is amazing and greatly appreciated.
Peace out.
That's funny - a fake rep.... The JVS is actually more expensive than the GMF (by only $20) on several TD websites, so not sure how observing that a photo looked more like a JVS than GMF Explorer II would upset or threaten anyone.

There does appear to be a mark on the 9 o'clock@TheDan772 I think you exaggerated by putting doubts on the other buyers that their qc sent by their respective td were fake GMF and instead JVS, I think this is the most incorrect there can be. The fact is that you also insisted and instilling doubts and this is not good as if only your da jtime is the real GMF and all the others have been screwed. I support throughout Winni and those who responded by demonstrating if there was a need for it to be a real GMF rather than a boastled JVS. Now I have a doubt that is gripping me, I am not sure to give my ok to my td, I also ordered my GMF 226570 and in the qc everything is perfect but I seem to see a slightly dark spot on the marker at 9 o’clock, think it is an acceptable thing that in normal life you do not perceive or it is a defect for which to request a new watch? I would appreciate your feedback on my dilemma thank you!

Incredible lume on these things. Wonder where one can source a correct crown for it
You seem to be really paranoid. Relax, it’s only a rep watch.
I actually like the size of the GMF crown.

#metoo actually... fits nicer to the watch all in all...the gen crown is also used on milgauss and datejust and fits there well because of no crown guards... but wit the crown guards such thinner one doesn't look nice to me
