Folks, Need your advice. I never posted QC pics before but here I'm not sure, hence your advice requested. Just copied two pics below.
My concern is with the 3 o'clock hour marker being not aligned with the date window. It seems aligned though within the ring around the dial if that makes sense.
I am not inclinded to approve this QC, but wanted your opnion first. I have seen better samples on this forum. FYI, it's the ZF version.

Thanks TV

this is as good as it gets, this is 10x bigger than in real life, once on the wrist you wont really see it.
there has been loads of QC questions posted and answered over the past few days.

mine is much the same, its a good one if you ask me.
James.

Crooked markers are so common on these, the next one may be even worse.

The placement of the 3 o´clock marker is awful and plainly visible on the small first pic. As soon as You know about it, Your eyes will constantly and magically be drawn to that single place. The 8 marker is off as well, but with that one I could actually live.
Most of these have some kind of misplacement and You probably knew that beforehand, so either You can live with it or fix it or just choose another watch (meaning model). These are reps etc. bla-bla but they are costing a bit more than $100....
Would a gen Tudor have the slightest misplacement? No - so there You have the instant tell for the guy sitting at Your left in the restaurant or on the plane. Can´t think of any other situation anybody but You would notice.

Yes indeed this is a rep, bla, bla etc. :cool-new: And I know the challenge on this model, but I did actualy see better samples, e.g. previous post had this one which would be fine for me:

But agree Daywatch this 3 o'clock market is awful and even visible on the small pic.
Thanks

If you tell me that there is a problem with that watch or the 3 o clock marker then take a lot at my qc pics i got, look at the 6 oc lock marker!

And i just saw that the previous post already posted my picture but inreally don't think theres a lot weong with yours, look at your bezel, the lume is perfectly applied vs mine where there are marks around the markings on the bezel ( if you look closely)

You guys have better eyes than me.
Dude, get it. If some creep is staring at your wrist enough to notice that, call him a creep and make a scene. Your watch will be the least of his worries.
