Sure, TheOneWatches

Steve did mention to me a while ago that he had one blue dial in stock. Might have been pre-CNY stock. Blues are difficult to get, I have no idea why, black dials and green much easier to procure, based on my TD which offered both but I am set on the blue.

Paid to Andrew on the 6th. Received QC pics today and approved...twelve o´clock marker ever so slightly crooked, but I don´t think I can wait no more time for this one, lol 😂

Besides there´s always the risk that there will be something f*ed up with a new specimen...

Minor PSA for those with the black ceramic who intend on swapping out the bracelet:

While the steel versions use screws to hold the strap links in place, the ceramic one uses friction pins which are thicker. The current endlinks I have slot in but will not stay in place since they cannot be screwed in.

I am trying to look for a solution.

Welp, after following this thread for some time, I finally placed my deposit for the blue Dial and black ceramic with TheOne.

Deposit was sent about 5 days ago and received QC yesterday for the blue Dial. Unfortunately 12 and 6 markers were off (probably someone's watch that also failed QC, as their QC agent gave me the whole spew that it won't be perfect like gen.

Believe me, I understand and appreciate this is a fraction of the cost of a gen, so if I have to zoom to notice the issue, I personally think I'm being too picky. But I think the 12 marker is very notificable. Any thoughts from the boys? Maybe the market at 6 I could live with. Even the screws aren't perfect, but I could personally live with those or have a watch Smith fix it for me during a service.

Is it possible that due to the rush to produce the quality of the dials is so poor? I would also like to buy but I wonder if maybe I should wait a little time to "deflate the hype" and hope for a better production

Did you reject the QC, or are you asking for others opinions on the QC? As FYI it is not in good standing with the forum rules to post QC pics and ask for others approval/opinion. You can expect a slap on the wrist from a mod soon if indeed you're asking for QC advice.

Assuming you have rejected it then yes good call. 9 is crooked, 6 is crooked and 12's appear sligthly angled/misaligned.
