Thanks for the input.

Perfect for a rep? i.e., as good as I'll get? Definitely not actually perfect, it's definitely canted to the right a little.

Don't know how anal to be over this as it's my first rep, not sure how noticeable it'll actually be on the wrist instead of when drawing parallel lines everywhere in photoshop while zoomed in 500%.

I know even genuine watches sometimes have alignment issues but to me this seemed to jump out at me quite a bit given how plain the face is on a BB.

You will NEVER see that .000001 mm. It will NOT be visible on your wrist. In fact, when you get the watch you will wonder why it looks so small. It's because you are looking at magnified, blown-up QC pics. Don't be so anal. If you sweat the small stuff like that you will not enjoy this hobby. You're kidding about the lines at 500%, right?

Oh sh!t....you weren't joking about the lines. That photo is taken slightly from the right. It is PERFECT! Accept it.

Haha yes I'm joking of course, but that's what I mean, I don't know if it's the kind of thing that would immediately be forgotten five minutes into wearing it or not.

I think this is a better demonstration of what I mean, the two pink lines are parallel.

Pretty obvious it isn't aligned right, but you think it wouldn't be noticeable in real life?

Now you are definitely being a weenie. You will NEVER NEVER NEVER see that (even if it does exist) with the naked eye.......in "real life."

The bigger issue is the awful SELs as seen in that last video....
Are you talking about them being oversized and sticking out past the case? Having gaps? Finish being different to the case? Didn't notice much off about them until you pointed it out, too late now anyway as its posted. If it bothers me I'll just change the strap I suppose, will see what happens when it gets here. To me the dial is much more important.

That was a nice QC video. Who is the TD ?
WatchFinder/FatPanda.

WatchFinder/FatPanda.

The SELs appears to stick up beyond the case instead of being recessed. I think there is just some play in it instead of being tight so it looked worse due to how he was holding the watch.

I’m sure it will look fine in the wrist so don’t sweat it.

guys like you help to cause these endless QC opinion posts smh the guy asks about something super small that HE noticed. You then proceed to mention something else that he didn't even see or care about.
