Yes, I took the pic myself! The SELs on mine are very good, better than my ARF. There is no visible gap and the SELs follow the contour of the lugs perfectly. They sit perfectly on the bottom, too and don't rattle.

some QC arrived for the panda. how is it?
1. is the SEL recess correct? I also seem to detect a small gap at 5 o clock.
2. is the bezel alignment good?
3. i feel that the bezel looks a bit gray instead of the usual white on v3 i've seen on other photos.

edit: due to M Scott's correction post.

JTime sells the NOOB bezel? I only see "clean factory black ceramic insert"
(sorry for my lack of knowledge, not too up to date on all these different factories and whatnot; but currently, the NOOB Daytona bezel is the one to go for, right?)

The following quote is from the Head Moderator of this forum regarding QC pictures ...

trailboss99 said:
QC pics are to satisfy YOU that the watch is OK to YOUR standards, that there are no crooked indices, missing lume, offset chrono hands etc. QC pics are not for picking tells or things that are present in every example of a model such as spelling errors, happy feet, wrong lume colour etc. These things you should be aware of already either by reading or by posting a thread before you order and asking about the issues with whatever model you wish to buy.

QC pics should only be posted if you have some doubt and need to ask a question such as "Hey guys, the lume on the 6 looks a bit wonkey to me, should I let it go or ask for another watch?" or "Is the SEL gap on this excessive or is that normal on this model?" or even "I was told this is a V3.5 but I'm not sure, is it?" That sort of thing, not a general "can anyone see anything wrong?"

This is the norm across all the boards. The reason is to prevent self claimed "experts" chiming in with shit like "Don't accept this, the date is .0001 of a mm off centre!" or "this version is shit, you should have got the V 27.32". The first is answerable by remembering it's a rep and the second is outside the scope of QC pics. This sort of bullshit results in watches being rejected for no good reason and the dealers get stuck with a watch they cannot return as there is nothing wrong with it. The noob who asked also then ends up with an unrealistic expectation of what he can expect. That helps no one.

You should all be grateful you have QC pics at all, it was only 4 or so years ago they did not exist. Try to think of anything else you buy on line where you get QC pics? You can't can you? The dealers hate them, it would be very easy for me to have them stopped. One email to all the dealers telling them all to stop would be all it would take and if QC pics begin to have an effect on the livelihood of our dealers (and thus the cost of reps in general) I will do so. The guy who had this bright idea first is no longer even a dealer here.

It is the CF bezel that seems to be the best. You pay a little extra to have your TD put it on your rep.

That you'd have to check with them. But they sell the CF bezel, which apparently is slightly better than the noob

Sead - I'm not sure if he is or was a TD here, perhaps someone else can chime in!

Sead is a great guy, gone above and beyond for me in the past with many rep purchases.

He’s a trusted dealer over on RepGeek not sure if he’s listed here.
