Got QC, and not happy with that, hands are dirty, chronographic minute hand are not straight.
I noticed Sead always send me bad QC first time.
Last time I bought seamaster from him, was got some flaws too. Not just that. Evey single watch I bought from him, I have to check QC very carefully.

and, i always replaced u with new ones , the things that u see on the pictures i would never see on the real live and i never look at the pictures
dont accuse people of something they dont do

This isn't a thread to be handing out criticism of a TD, let's stay in subject.

I keep coming back to this thread to see @Campbelloni's pics. That thing looks just like the genuine one. I keep going back and forth between the gen and the rep... decisions, decisions.

Not really if u check very carefully, it's still different than the gen.

I not gonna tell you where to spot.

If requires that much attention, I figure it is small enough to be ignored on the daily wear. I'm generally not a person to go into the small details.

In the end, it's a $279 rep compared to a $2600 ($1750 on jomashop) watch. It can afford to have a differences.

Hi brother, can we have a lume shot?

Also how’s the chronograph operation?
Quality of the leather strap?

Thank you in advance.

Leather strap is actually really comfortable, not hard at all, may even be a bit to soft as it looks like it will wear out quicker than a good quality band.

Chrono function works perfectly, don't tend to use it much though, but resets without issue back on 12.

Line pictures attached. Only one negative I have is the movement rotor spins a lot, may need looking at, but doesn't effect the power reserve at all.

Campbelloni Don't want to be too off-topic, but how did you even come across this watch as being available and ordering it in the first place? I only happened to see it courtesy of your QC.

I'd saw it on a non TD website that I'd stumbled across through Reddit. Then just sent an email to a propper TD. Seems strange that no dealers have it advertised though.
