Hi, thanks to this forum I was able to pull the trigger on my first replica watch, a Clean Factory Rolex Submariner. I would like ask for advice on this matter:

I don't understand if there is effectively an alignment problem between the bezel and the dial on 3 and 9 o'clock markers or it's an optical effect of the photo. Could you help me with your experience?

These are the pictures I sent them saiyng at 3 o'clock they look disaligned.

They send me back these other ones

It looks fine. Accept it and enjoy your new watch.

Looks like the insert factory has produced a one-off insert with one marker out of alignment, just as a special treat for you so you’ll have a truly unique Sub.

Either that, or it’s the angle of the photo.

Which seems more likely?

I appreciate sarcasm. :) Thanks for the reassurance.

Take it easy makron83 just a bit of harmless fun at your expense, everybody gets through it, one time or the other, but no one gets harmed. I am sure you can laugh about it yourself (come on, those comments are fun!).
I'm not a nitpicker, that would be an instant GL for me. As far as I'm concerned, it looks fine, it's probably just perspective, and even if it was a tad misaligned, it would be almost certainly imperceptible irl and only looking carefully at it. Secondly, if it is misaligned, that probably is even within R-factory tolerances.

As a realist, you must give me the watch.

Looks good to me, I’m a noob myself though. However similar to the comment above me. Unless someone came up and stared at your watch from inside of 1 foot. I think you’re solid my friend.

Notice how some of the markers seems to align with the indices and other do not? I'd wager its just the angle of the picture. As long as your 12 o'clock lume triangle lines up with the indice then i would say dont worry about it! :)

I agree it not something that will be obvious in real life but the only picture that is even close to square on to the camera is No 2 - you can see that all the others aren’t close by looking at the position of date window in the cyclops. A couple of mm tilt either way makes a big difference to alignment at this magnification. GL.

Looks good to me, although the abnormalities are obvious.

Hi, this is partly due to the pictures. The camera is not always 100% straight to the watch. I wouldn't worry too much about it and give it the green light.

Best regards!

like others have said probably just camera angle,
