I was really thinking about getting this watch but now I have decided to wait.
the latest qc issues are not acceptable...

im okay with the rest of the watch. its that hours hands is the biggest bother for me.
Wow, that's too many troubles with the watch, do you guys think this will get solved anytime soon? I have an old sub c from noob and I'm loving it, but already want a better version...
im going to be posting mines soon as a catch & release... really dont have time to send it back to China or him send me the correct hour hands & get it installed. thinking of just cutting my losses. also the watch is really really small which is a big no no for me.
Yes i feel this wach is way to small for me.. I thought it was a girls watch for a quick second. -_-

Please?

On my 6.5" it is actually the right size. Weight of 146g is also acceptable, altough the watch slides too much up and down for my taste.
And the bracelet drives into my palm so that I have red marks between wrist and palm.
Maybe beacuse it is a cheap Parnis, and the bracelet is not radiused enough on edges.
But now I ordered this GlideLock bracelet for the Parnis:

And Hont got me a Noob bracelet for 70USD, so I will be prepared when I buy a BP Submariner next month.
As I understand the clasp is the greatest weakness of BP.
I am not quite happy with my blue BP.
1. Large gap between the bezel and the case on the right side of the watch.
Can this be fixed in any way?
2. SEL gap on 6 o'clock right side. But I noticed this on QC.
3. Quite a lot of play between end link and first link on 6 o'clock side.
4. Slight paint spill on the 14 marker. I first tried using fingernail, then also screwdriver, but it is still there. I also noticed this on QC.
5. Rehaut engraving not centered on left side, only on right.
But to my surprise, clasp is just fine.
I also like the cyclops very much, I can see the date really clearly.
I think everything but 1 is pretty normal for a rep, but even my Parnis doesn't have a raised bezel.
I tried to take a photo, I think it can be seen:

the rehault engravings are probably centred,but the dial is out and needs turning a bit.the sel im shocked ive never seen a bp with loose or gap in sel,scrape the insert with a blade to remove excess paint
Finally it was sunny today, so I quickly grabbed my camera.
I tried to list the flaws from the ones that bother me the most.
1. Large gap between the bezel and the case on the right side of the watch.
2. SEL gap on 6 o'clock right side.
3. Bezel aligned slightly to the right.
But every bezel has a little play, I think it is aligned ok if I turn it to the far left. But still my OCD tells me every time I look at the watch it should be slightly more to the left.
On fourth picture, I positioned it to the far right.
4. Quite a lot of play between the end link and the first link on 6 o'clock side.
5. Slight paint spill on the 14 marker.
6. Piece of dust trapped on the dial.
When I got it, it was on the right side of the crown, on the picture it is above the center of the watch.
7. Rehaut engraving not centered on left side, only on right.
8. And movement isn't perfect either. Sometimes when I try to unhack it, the second hand doesn't want to move. I then shake the watch so that it moves again.
9. The winding isn't smooth either.
I believe it is a Hangzhou HZ6300:

Certainly it is way better than BP Swiss refurbished ones. Altough winding is better on Swiss. But when setting time, Swiss is more rough.
Really a lot of things that bother me on this watch, will see how it is on the wrist.
But this is what I like the most, AR on the cyclops, it is really nice:
