PAM 111 Noob V3->V4, KW–V6Fac & H maker - (**QC pics checking**)

certainly looks like it
So he transfers money for a V4 and you scold him for actually wanting what he is about to pay for?! If they advertise a V4 and try to sell him an older model, then what is wrong with rejecting it?
No, I am not scolding him. What are you? 3? A true V4 has never been released in any consistent manner hence this thread. Wanting a V4 is fine, but to fully expect to get one considering the situation is unrealistic. If you want to harass your TD for the little amount of profit they get on these reps, be my guest, see how far that takes you. But do your own research, we won't be your QC squad.
I'd like to pick up a 111 at some point and intended to use this thread for assistance. It seems that somewhere over its 28 page span it has been misinterpreted so perhaps I could help in clarification for others. The first post does indeed say this:
But you should also bear this in mind:
From what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong): QC pics posted in this thread aren't meant to be used to accept or reject the watch you're buying but simply to identify the version of its components.
Hopefully that goes some way to clearing things up. Go ahead and consign this post to the trash if I've completely misunderstood.

The original intent of the thread was two-fold. First, to provide an avenue for the posting of QC pictures to aid members in identifying QC (quality control issues) with their watch. Second, with the release of the V4 by Noob, there were also a lot of threads being posted simply to ask "Is this a V4?". This thread was also meant to contain all of those individual inquiries.
So you are wrong on the first part and right on the second part.
You can ask questions in this thread for QUALITY CONTROL issues such as but not limited to misaligned dials, missing screws, dents and so forth, which you can use to accept/reject a watch. Watch version is not a quality control issue. You can also ask what version your PAM111 is (and that will simply be V4 or not V4), although at this point, with the wealth of posts available in this thread, one can make the determination on their own by doing some simple reading.
Ok maybe I got hung up on the bit where you said "we won't be your QC squad" and thought that meant this wasn't the place to ask QC questions.
I suggest you read the entirety of the post to get the benefit of context.

Yeah you're right, I couldn't be bothered with reading all 28 pages of questions about other people's watches so I just read the first all-encompassing explanatory post and was dumb enough to think that it was all-encompassing and explanatory. Then when I read the latest page and saw that the thread didn't seem to be what the first post originally set it out to be I took some time to familiarise myself with what seemed to be happening and then condensed it down into an easy to understand post to try and help others that may have done the same thing - including the caveat that I may be wrong and am happy to be corrected. Then when I was corrected I went back to identify exactly where I may have made the mistake so I could clarify and ensure others reading the thread have the right idea of what it is about.
A few months ago I had surgery to remove a piece of shrapnel from my nose that's been there undetected for nearly 20 (twenty!) years. I'd always just thought I had a runny nose but it turns out that during the explosion I'd been hit in the face with some metal that stayed lodged in my skull. The surgery was not the most pleasant experience but definitely better than active overseas service. After I'd retired I took up a career in more peaceful activities and also discovered the world of rep watches, which eventually brought me to RWI. My point is: I didn't go through everything I've been through to be spoken down to by a defensive mod on a toy watch forum when all I'm attempting to do is assist other people. Fuck me for wanting to help, right?
