Need help with QC (crooked 12?)

[THE_BARCODE_GUY]

got my QC today for my first new rep and I'm all good to greenlight it except the 12 seems odd in some way. The 1 seems to jut out a bit lower than the 2 and they both seem slanted to me. Am I crazy?

I do see what you are seeing. I am not sure though if it falls under "it's a rep just live with it" category. It is noticeable on my computer screen but not sure how noticeable it would be on your wrist.
I know that is an expensive rep so it's a tough call.

Could be the angle. Do you have a direct head on picture? Looking at gen pics I noticed a couple of them on angles had an off kilter appearance also.

I've requested a close up

Going by the lume it´s one of the good ones. Really can´t see a difference to the V1 on these pics. The BP has these double domed glasses so unless You´re holding it in hand You´re never 100% sure. This beeing said the 1 looks slightly tilted but all the rest looks ok. Yeah, it´s the fun of the qc process.

Does look a tinyyyy bit slanted. But I've been through this process of QC for my BPFF, it went on for 3 watches total I think and sometimes if one part gets better 2 other parts get worse..

Hard call to make but Daywatch has said it, the rest looks ok.

IMHO, if one is very anal about things being aligned, BPFF is a bad watch to pick. Learnt that the hard way but I still love the BPFF, super beautiful.

A little late to the party but after spending most of lunch looking at these images, I'm going to have to defer to Daywatch. I think he has it right.
If it was my piece, I'd accept it but as he said, it's always a tough call and ultimately yours to live with.
Beautiful choice for a first new rep though. You have great taste in watches[emoji106]

Thanks for the input everyone. Sead is having a tough time sourcing another so I've okayed him to send me this one. I'm sure it'll bring me many more smiles than irks

Even gen FF aren't always 100% aligned. This is noticeable and wouldn't be that bad on a gen but I think it's fine. No one would ever notice but you. I love my FF's.

I think it's not the alignment of the 9 or 12. This is an optical illusion caused by the misalignment of the signature, which rises left to right.

The 12 on mine looked the exact same in my QC (see my post history) and while I noticed it for the first day or two it soon became a non-issue and now I can't even see the "flaw" looking for it. Just the beauty that is a FF! You will LOVE this watch, it's absolutely worth every penny

Has anybody replaced the crystal on a V2?
