Hi all,

just received QC-Pictures from Timesshop.

The watch looks good to me, with two little exeptions:
One screw seems to be conspicuous and one spot on the case also (red circles on the picture. Is this normal/acceptable?
I asked for another exampe, but got no reply until now.
I would really appreciate it if you experts could comment.

Thank you
Regards
Steffen

The one in the CG (crown guard) is OK, do not bother with that at all. Its absolutely invisible on the hand and can be easily replaced.

If the case near the lugs is scratched that much as it looks, reject and get a new one. However, I do have a feeling that it is only a reflection and nothing more. Wait for another picture.

Hi kanzler

1- Screw in CG is completely OK
2- Screw in lug, we will need more concrete and enlarged (macro) pics to see if it is the screw damaged (they can change it) or is the lug-case (must be repaired or changed). Maybe all is OK too

Waiting for new pics

Hi all,

thanks a lot so far for your comments! I will wait for more pictures or another watch offer from Timesshops and hope they will react soon.
As requested, i attach a few more of these QC pics with two enlargements of the critical points.

Thanks again
Steffen

Hi kanz
Are you buying a N-series last version?
Because the watch in the pics has neither Vintage hands nor corrected CG
If it is a N-series is an earlier version.

The lug looks ugly too !!!

ALE

Any idea if this is a v3 or 2.5?

Do you know what is V2, V2.5 or V3. Because we are looking for that and we have not yet the answer from somebody.

Anyhow, this watch cannot be eaither V2.5 or V3 because it has not some characteristics as explained above

The "Swiss" movement you will receive will not the same of the original mounted in the current gens.
You will receive, at the best case, a "cheap Swiss" Low beat movement with a "cheap" Novodiac shock protection system instead a Incabloc and with an horrible Swan Neck , the same or worse than the rep one.
Save your money and you will get a very good and accurate Asian mvmt.
Just my opinion
