10.11. First contact - answer within the hour
15.11. Payment made (Remitly)
22.11. First QC pictures received - but not very conclusive so asked for better ones.
23.11. Good QC pictures and video received but no pressure test proof (paid 20 USD)
29.11. Pressure check video received but only at 0.3 MPa - as a 100 meter / swimming check was asked for I inquired why only 0.3 MPa test.
01.12. Elliot said he would come back after speaking with test provider.

As I am a first time buyer - I´d appreciate any help from the experts here on my quality control pictures.
The only thing that i noticed was the print on the dial. Do I expect too much?

I understand this rule, but was hoping for enthusiasts here to give a total newbie some guidance.

I'm not nearly as experienced as many on this forum, but to me it's GL all the way. It looks beautiful and I love the lightning second hand. I think you're going to love it. Regarding the type, it's a bit thicker font than gen but you won't notice it unless it's next to a gen. As far as the pressure testing, many TDs will only test to 3 bar. It's enough to say you can wash your hands and not worry, maybe shower. I wouldn't swim with it but you probably could.
IMHO.

Thanks for taking a look and let’s see if Elliot tests at 6 bar for me. Will let all of you know here.
