If he’s asking for help with specific issues it’s allowed. Posting an entire set of QC pics and asking for general opinions is prohibited though.
For roughly $800 I wouldn’t take that one either. The 12 6 and 9 are off. Bezel Screws can be re seated by yourself as typically they come out when you take off the corresponding case back screw.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.
Mine just arrived.
The misaligned 12 hour marker is not an issue on the wrist. However too much bling and too big for my taste. I'll pass the watch to a friend who wants it.

Finally. QC pics just arrived...have same misalignment of marker at 9 like most and don't see anything else off.
QC pictures just landed. I am going with the white/silver dial as I think it'll look fine on a blue leather strap. If not, I'll just post it on M2M.
Everything looks pretty straight to me. I’m guessing the blue models everyone is having qc issues with are leftover from previous RL.QC pictures just landed. I am going with the white/silver dial as I think it'll look fine on a blue leather strap. If not, I'll just post it on M2M.

Looks just perfect. Looking forward to my 3rd attempt for the blue one which hopefully will at last be perfect too.QC pictures just landed. I am going with the white/silver dial as I think it'll look fine on a blue leather strap. If not, I'll just post it on M2M.
Could you pm me some of the qc pictures you rejected? My qc should be coming in a. Few days.
here's my blue qc image I got recently.
everything looks aligned to me but those screws look way off especially at the top. hopefully I will receive the watch within 2 weeks. any idea where to buy properly slotted high quality screws for this watch?

Congrats on a pretty good example. Some modders offer white gold replating on the screws, maybe they will have a lead on better quality screws too.here's my blue qc image I got recently.

thanks I will look into it. might go that route but I'm thinking ill wait until I receive the watch and see how it looks in person it might not bother me much.
Yup I rejected it, sorry I had a sentence where I said I rejected it and Steve was trying to explain no rep is perfect bla blah blah, but I must've deleted it by accident.
But ya, was just sharing and to also see if I was being too picky. I noticed someone else here ask the same and legend gave feedback without any discipline, so I thought it would be ok.
