Help with QC pics

[Dallasdude77]

I'm sure this thread will be greeted by many rolled eyes and negative comments, but I am extremely OCD and want to get a few opinions from some of you guys before approving this watch. My latest rep purchase is a V6F Pelagos LHD. I just received QC pics and the watch looks great overall, but the 12 o'clock triangle marker appears to be slightly crooked, imo. I know it is not uncommon for the hour markers to be slightly crooked within the inner bezel, I even noticed that on several pics of the gen, but I feel as though the 12 o'clock marker should be perfect since it is the most obvious. I know the angle of the pic is sometimes deceiving so I am waiting on a straight on pic of the watch from my dealer. While I wait, I thought I'd ask for your opinions. I was going to approve the watch, but I just saw a review of another Pelagos where the triangle seems to be perfectly aligned. What do you guys think?

judging by where the tip terminates by the logo, I'd lean towards camera angle vs crooked indice.

"dancing markers" have historically been a problem with the Pelagos... in this case, I do feel like you're right and the 12 marker is slightly off -- made extra noticeable by how the tip doesn't align with the shield peak. You could try asking if you could get them to straighten it out a little or something, but it'll be a bit hit or miss... I'd probably accept it.

I thought this too initially, but it's off by apparently the same amount/direction in every photo.

I won't roll my eyes or make a negative comment. However, I will say to normal vision absent a highly magnified picture you will NEVER be able to see that if it even exists.

For a Pelagos rep, I would just send it to Strodda for aligning the hour markers and waterproofing. Relume, Prof 2AR being the other mods if I was planning to keep it long term.

It's off a tad, but I don't think it is horrible. It could be a lot worse.

Slightly off. I'd accept it

Yea you can see it is slightly off but if you had posted that pic without a description then I doubt anyone would have picked up on it. Its one of those things that you only really notice if you are looking for mistakes - to the average observer, it isnt obvious enough to cross their mind in my opinion. Still looks like a lovely watch

Its fine. Take it.

Great choice and great looking watch. In the first pic is looks very close if not right on. If it were me I'd have not problem with it? But can't hurt to get another angle to be sure. Now is the time to do that.

I think it looks fine in the first and third pictures. It looks crooked in the second picture because of the camera angle.
