wow i saw the pic, it really looks like mine. Could it be they given the same piece to both of us and see who pick up the bait haha.

Personally I’ve seen RLed pieces popping out elsewhere for another’s QC hahah and really I think it’s possible. Any retail would want to clear these stocks

Well I received some QC pics from Lucy, To my eye it looks ok apart from the different tint on the hands compared to the numeral dials, But I don't know if the light she's using on the picture is effecting it quite a bit, What do you guys think?

Impossible to say for sure. Could be lighting or could be hands from different factory/batch/supplier.

If this is so, then the TD's are charging us premiums for defected/rejected VSF's?
Do they still entitled to be TD's

Lume on the hands for most of the new VSF batch are generally off. Honestly with the quality of VSF V4s being sold here, you're probably better off getting an ORF, which has the updated bracelet to boot.

You are welcome
nope did not know the Skyfall one was that expensive these days, I brought it after the film come out as it looked good from the film, might have to put it back in the box :), I like the look of the NTTD one with the cracked face, can't understand why the Spectre ones seem dearer as its the same model? also the Special Edition one looks to be the same model ?

Probably a gimmick to make collectors want them all. It never ceases to amaze me how some collectibles skyrocket in value. it's like those limited edition Lego sets, trading cards and merchandise associated with franchises like Star Wars. Some of that stuff is crazy expensive and people who know the market may live just of trading merchandise.

Apart from that lume mismatch, which I have read a few pages back all of these watches have to one degree or another because it has something to do with proportions on lume ingredients to give it that aged look, everything else seems fine to me. There are no alignment issues I can see, no lume overspill, the lettering seems crisp and clear. I would GL it but let someone else more experienced chime in first because they may catch something I'm not seeing.

If you dont mind me asking how does that work if you RL something can you ask to switch models? Just awaiting some more picture's from her.

I honestly have no problem with that. For me being a "Trusted Dealer" means they are not going to rip you off, send you some DHGatie, etc. etc. You have QC pictures and know exactly what you are getting. TDs are not here for fun, they are here to make a living, and if people are willing to pay extra premium in spite of the blatant quality issues with this last batches, they would be fool not to take advantage of the opportunity. The problem in my understanding is buyers willing to take crappy quality stuff for a premium price like their lives depended on it.

Yeah will need her to catch up the emails so that we can work something out.

This is the VSF V4 I have just received.
By looking at the weight, can it really be titanium considering the gen full set with bracelet weighs just 97g?

As you say. all about judging the market, what used to get me Corgi would sell the DB5 same car, just in a "Collectors Box" they have knocked out about 20 different versions and now the latest one which was going for £30 is now selling for £150 on eBay it's nuts. Corgi have promised there are more coming in April. I know people who have paid people watching the internet sites around the clock to catch 1st what is being released, then they are allowed to order as many as they want, which is wrong. Mind you footy shirts are worse, and then they make reps as good as the original and they sell on eBay and you don't have a clue of you are paying over the odds for a genuine or a rep. Big money in eBay.

Yeah you can. It's been done before for sure. If you keep RLing something sometimes the TD will recommend another factory. Just sucks that the VSF NTTDs have been so off compared to the pre-raid batch.

I have recently seen perfectly fine VSF NTTD reps. In this very same threads some days ago. This one, for example, is flawless:

I do not believe that the generalization in your statement is accurate.

That's right ... wait after the Chinese New Year to see how it evolves ... right? They seem to be afraid of losing who knows what ....
