Never purchased one because they don't come close to ARF (or even Noob) quality. But I remember members posting about a US seller for $300 per dial and a middle east based seller.
I would go with this list:

Hi guys,
I today received my watch. The watch itself is a stunner but the bracelet has a gap on both sides of the watch. I told the TD about that but they said it was alright. Anyone has an idea how to fix this? Do not really want to send it back from Germany to China. This is the link to the pics on imgur : https://imgur.com/a/DKfxJ9p

First off, you should have caught that with the QC pics. It's a bit too late now
My advice would be to buy some gen spec spring bars (Try Everest). That's probably gonna fix it, if not, the bracelet is faulty.

Thanks for your reply first of all.
I saw it in the QCs, notified the TD about that. They sent me some new pics were they possibly "seesawed" it back so that you didnt see the gap anymore. I mean its obvious, nothing where u need a magnifier. so they must have been aware of that. even worse with the price tag of the watch.
I tried on a bracelet of my GMT - Master 2 and the same gap was seen. unfort the spring bar of my gmt is a bit thicker so i couldnt try that one on the actual bracelet. Could it be that the holes which are supposed to hold the spring bars are drilled a bit too far away / in a wrong angular?

Who was the TD that told you that this was all right?
something is definitely wrong here. I’m guessing the other side is okay? Try flipping the bracelet. That way you can see if it’s a spring bar problem, lug hole problem, or bracelet problem
Purchased it at puretime. Didn’t get a reply so far.
The pictures are from each side, so the problem is on both sides. Tried flipping around, the gaps were a bit smaller but still large. Also as I said I tried the bracelet from my gmt master on it and the gaps where still there even with the other bracelet.

Are your endlinks tight or loose? You can move them or they are fixed and tight?

That is the issue then,i think the problem is in springbars
i bought from this site spring bars for daytona and i was very satisfied,or you can order from everest

Ok will try. How come that springbars lead to that issue? The springbars themselves seem to sit quite tight.

Hmm i had similar issue on my arf daytona,new springbar fixed issue,what i spoted is that stock springbars had little bent pins that enter the lugs holes
Ok I see. I will try with buying new ones, but tried a bracelet from my gmt master (which has other springbars) and the same issue was there

Just placed an order for the V3 Panda from JTime, looking forward to posting pics once I get it!!
I had something similar happened when I removed the bracelet from my watch and put it back on. It was nice and tight before and then afterwards it was loose like that. Turns out even though the spring bar was in the hole, it wasn't perfectly inside the hole. I had to remove it and put it back on a few times before it was back on nice and tight like before. Not sure if this is your issue but I'm just sharing my expereince.

Puretime did something similar to my purchase too. Supposedly solved a problem when all they did was hold it at a certain angle or prop with their fingers to give the appearance of a better alignment.
Will never ever buy from them again.

I've been buying from Li since the beginning. But I'm too OCD and too lacking in balls to do away with QC photos, cos I can always see something that could have been better, ha..
