The purpose of QC pictures
At RWI, we're fortunate to have a few dealers who take the time to individually procure, inspect, and photograph watches for potential buyers. This has not always been the norm, and in fact, it's a recent development. Up until about two years ago, all of the dealers drop-shipped everything and...

A little on QC pics.
QC pics are to satisfy YOU that the watch is OK to YOUR standards, that there are no crooked indices, missing lume, offset chrono hands etc. QC pics are not for picking tells or things that are present in every example of a model such as spelling errors, happy feet, wrong lume colour etc. These...

Basically, you should be looking for any extreme defects. But try to be relaxed on very small, microscopic imperfections that will never be visible when on your wrist.

I always have this kind of (need) emergency when I hear the word diamond watch. (At least for men's watches)I understand. A different kind of "emergency", apparently.
