I hear you, but the first would have been the best on your wrist. You'll have more marks that those on it after a week of wearing it.

Don't agree, look closely to the picture of its caseback. I asked to check those marks and TD automatically told me he send it back to fact.

True but I have received pictures of the third, one picture completely centered and seems to be perfect. Almost like the first one.

But you are right, the first one, on the wrist, maybe was the best looking but I am the one who would be knowing and pointing those scratches on the caseback, for sure LOL

Case back scratches don't bother me at all. I'd gladly take the first one. You will immediately get some caseback scratches the first time you set it down on any hard surface.

Things that bother me on QC:

Crooked logo
Bezel that doesn't line up
Date wheel unaligned
Crooked dial
Uneven lume visible to naked eye

All things I've dealt with in the past. Part of the rep game.

Case scratches are a non issue especially on a watch meant to be beaten and worn like a 382

One extra picture of the last one centered, much better (but not completely aligned the bezel):

Bezel is not perfect, maybe still not perfect as the first one but close to...

What do you think???

It looks fine to me .
I guarantee you that once you've had it on your wrist for a week you'll concentrate more on the patina than anything.
I've had my Bronzo about 3 months and when I ordered it the 15 marker was askew a little ...I have not noticed or thought about it until writing these words.
Trust me ..it won't keep me awake tonight.

As you can see the three watches have different crowns. The first maybe was the best, but it had at least three scratches in the caseback.

No worries. I think this batch is using someone else for the crowns this time. The look different from the past 6 months. They got two of the three correct not sure what is going on with the factories. Good luck brother.

Just to share a pic of my Bronzo nicely patina'ed up since I got it about 1 month ago taken by the new iPhone 7. It's true you will focus more on the patina! My 6 o'clock marker is just so ever slightly off but it doesn't bother me as much anymore.

OK.... so if FAT crowns are back ...... I wonder if the TD's can get them and send replacements to those that want them.
I will ask. I really HATE that skinny crown.

Just got QC pics from TD who says it has the FAT crown. Do you agree? I still see a lot of the nut next to the crown - will it waterproof? Any other concerns? Thanks.

If anyone can repost the pictures, I don't have the post count for attachments yet. Thanks.

I don't think that is the fat crown... in the first picture, TD purposely hide the angle where you can see whether it is fat crown or not.
Second pic, clearly shows that there is still nut next to the crown.

As long as the crown is not sitting flush, as long as it is flying, than it is not fat crown.
