Hi Guys,

I was wondering if you could help me with some QC pics for the PAM683. The 30 marker looks pretty crooked, what do you think? Hold out for a better one?

Please ignore the last pic, that is someone else's QC pic and the 30 looks fine there.

That's really up to you. How often will you look at that marker? I think maybe if you had to post this thread maybe you've got your answer. I mean that with respect. If it bugged you enough to post it, perhaps pass on it.

Me personally I probably wouldnt have noticed during QC or even I when received it. Not until I listed it on m2m would I find out lmao! But I'm lucky, for whatever reason I can live with things like that, there's an argument that little imperfections make for better everything, like double struck pennies or rlx spider dials cracking over time, Pre-V pam lume turning orange after leaving the factory the list goes on. Maybe just maybe someone down the line will be looking for the "sideways 30 683"

I'd politely ask for another. I doubt your TD will have an issue considering its a clear QC fault.

That would be a pass for me. Once you saw it you can never unsee it.

I'd pass it as I'm picky with these twisted markers. As said above, TD will pass it on another buyer anyway.

This would bother me too. Beside that the other markers look a little bit crooked too. If its not the angle I would ask for another one.

Thank you all, I will reject it. It's a shame as the watch was already in the UK and would have been a nice Xmas present for myself 😁
