Received my first QC. Admittedly a poor photo but I think it’s the newest dial so I’m pretty happy. My only concerns appears to be the SEL on the top left. Would be great to get a second opinion. What do you guys think?

As far as I can tell from my research switching the bezel should not be too hard. Anyone who tried it please chime in.

It is easy, all you need is a knife or bezel removing tooland a crystl press

Hoping this is an alright place to post this question, I didn't want to start a brand new thread, hopefully it's okay!

Just received my 116515 in the mail today, and I'm overall pretty blown away!
However, I noticed on my clasp I noticed there is some.. inconsistency in the color?
I'm not sure if its residue from the sticker, I used a little bit of WristClean on a microfiber.
I didn't want to go at it too hard because I know the noob RG plating can rub off pretty easily.

Any of you have any suggestions/advice? Thank you!

Never, and I say never use a micro fiber cloth. Not even on SS.
Just search for some watch cleaning cloth.

This platings color do change with time brcause it is not gold, gold do not react with air.
there are some products for sure that can polish the reacted area.

gold plating does fall off over the time. it can last 1-3 years depending on how well you take care of the material.

I've seen other forum posts on RWI recommending microfiber cloths.. strange.
What's the issue with a microfiber?
