My first decline

[idig4cash]

So it was my second purchase overall from a TD and my first decline from the qc pics. This one even I could see the dial or the bezel was off bad. It was bad enough I didn't need to ask for help on it. What can I expect now? Will it be another 2 week wait.

I almost feel bad for declining this but it's not good, right? It would drive me crazy looking down and seeing that every time.

It looks like the inner chapter ring is misaligned, as the bezel is also maybe one or two clicks off dead-centre.
I think the actual dial itself is fine - not sure how the chapter ring sits inside the case, but may be a relatively easy fix with the movement popped out?

The only issue I can see is that even if it were a straightforward fix, my understanding is that most TDs are reluctant to open the case backs, let alone start removing/altering things.
This would void the "warranty" on the watch, and if they damaged something or failed to repair it to your liking, they're essentially then stuck with it as the factory won't accept the return if the watch has been tampered with/stickers removed.
Therefore it will likely be returned to factory for repair/replacement and a longer wait unfortunately.

I hope you get it resolved soon - I have the same one in black and it's one of my favourites in my collection! Love the turquoise

Thanks for the reply. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what is off with it only that it's definitely off. I would see it every time i looked down at it. Like I said, I kind of hate to decline it but I also want it to look right.

Yeah, just RL it and wait...

 

[idig4cash]

I did. Got the message today that they sent it back to the factory for an exchange. Now we wait some more.

Probably BLSF? They're quite sloppy in QC. Misaligned markers galore.

From what it looks like, the dial and movement just need to be turned slightly to the right, and then the hands need to be put back on correctly, as they seem to be in the right place.
This shouldn't be a big problem, so I don't think you'll have to wait very long.
Anyway, it's a beautiful watch.

It's actually TF. I thought they were one of the better Breitling reps of the ones I looked at. More expensive too. Yeah, not only the white ring and bezel off but looks like the 35 and 40 markers on the bezel are off too. Not sure if they fix this one or get a new one.

Thank you. Seen it at a jewelry store in Aruba and almost bought the gen. Ended up buying a different gen and ordered this one in rep.

TF and BLSF are ok... somewhere in between mid tier and high tier. All the Superoceans I see from both are very sloppy in QC overall. It's ok. I understand the RL in this case.

I think you will have to churn through alot of QC to get a decent one from what I can see about these models.

This is the first watche I RL'd too. I had the rainbow markers. Seconds one was better. I definitely wouldn't feel bad.
