Quick question, I've been looking for a strap, I like some orloff ones but I dont know how to find the correct size for this watch, any info on this? Also how do you determine if the clasp will be able to fit? I imagine its just a spring bar but im not sure?

What do you guys think? Does the 2, 4 and 5 hour markers are crooked? The power reserve is also not correctly aligned. Would you reject it?

PR hand exceeds full position too

Received my another 5001 V2 7 days, this time white dial with blue highlights... and I noticed my seconds subdial hand skipping between 60 to 30 sort of like bad stuttering in Miyota movement. Is this something I need to worry about? Do you guys think I need to get it serviced right away to protect the movement? I will try to upload a youtube video of it. Thanks for the feed back.

It's an obvious flaw so I would ask for a flawless one.

Who says it's a flaw? Do you know that? Or is it possible that the hand might just fractionally go beyond the max when fully wound. If the QC pic was taken with PR not at max it wouldn't be rejected and unlikely you'd ask for a pic to be taken specifically for that.

are you serious?

gen pr hand stops at max pos.

so if it exceeds max pos it's an obvious flaw!

Guess I've been around reps too long to get my knickers in a twist over something so trivial. Crooked marker or damage etc yes.

OMG... It costs me 15 minutes to open the watch, pull out the movement, re-set the PR hand and rebuild the watch again. And I'm not very quick or skilled.

If you don't have some rudimentary watch maker skills you'd better think about a gen. SCNR But sending back or refusing a rep for such a nitpicky "flaw" make rep watches more expensive for us all.

Nope.

In fact refusing will lead to better qc
