How perfect is the CG on your 243 V2 ?

Just curious to see how many of those 243 V2 have a less than perfect CG and how many have the lever completely flush.
Recently I just bought a 243 H fac and the less than perfect CG was killing me even if the raise was only 1mm, other than that great watch with perfect lume. I decided to chip in another $300 just to get a damn flush crown guard. Today I received my QC pics and the noob has the same not so flush CG, was it stupid of me thinking the V2 has a better crown guard or is that a rarity? I asked the TD to find one with a good CG, am I being to picky ?

I got a 111 that looked the same with the crown guard not flush and complained about it. The QC woman said it was fine. I took ER word for it and when it came it was flush. Don't know if that helps

Lever flush to what
Against the cg it sits in or to the case?
On the 243 the lever is not flush to the case on the gen

I was comparing the viewing angle with the 243 I already have with the same problem and some photos with other GCs, I'm pretty sure the lever is not flush with the CG, here it is

Mine does appear more flush than that
Have a v2 so I would reject the qc pic and ask for another that is flush

This is a blurry mess of a phone photo I took but I think u can see that it is flush

So far 2 out of 3 V2 from noob that don't have a flush lever, this noob V2 starts not to look all that superior to the H version.

Your dealer must like you, that's a nice looking lever, I went through 3 sets of pics and mine still isn't that nice.

The best around, only quality watches and stellar service so far, but somehow this flush GC proved to be a problem. This goes to show that not all noob GCs are created equaly. As always the dealer came through and I think this is flush enough

Looks good, though you might want to check out the possible nick on the bezel at the 15-minute mark. You are probably focusing too much on the CG and have not checked all the other parts of the watch.
