Opinions on this Calibre 1887 Chrono rep? (CAR2A10.B0799)

I have been digging through this forum for links to a good rep version of the Carrera Calibre 1887 Chrono 43mm. I have seen quite a few rep watches where the numbers are not well placed. Some don't show the number 15 at all, in one version the '1' in 15 is just a straight line, and for many the two digits in a number are not top and bottom aligned. The date window is frequently off as well. The best I have seen so far is this one. Has anyone seen better?

Went ahead and ordered the one from pf-818. Somewhat uneasy about the funky order process, but I suppose such is the nature of replicas. Will post my impressions when it gets here.

Good luck-- excited to hear the review and might follow suit if it all works out. Hope you receive the watch soon.

I just received the QC pics earlier today. The watch itself looked really good to me. About the only thing I noticed - seems to be the case with many/most reps - that the numbers 15 and 25 seem to be VERY slightly misaligned top and bottom, but that may just be an image resize pixilation issue.

It was definitely better than many other reps I have seen. On some, the 15 is missing completely, or the 1 in 15 is just a straight vertical line. On others, the numbers are crooked or very obviously top/bottom misaligned. Some have a crooked TAG logo, or a separate little line around the date window. This one had none of that. Back of the watch and movement looked good as well, although I did notice that all these reps seem to have the product number CAR2A11 (grey dial) stamped into the casing, instead of CAR2A10 (black dial). I wonder why.

However, I ordered the version with steel bracelet, and the QC pictures showed one with a leather bracelet. So I had to reject for now. Waiting for reply...
