ALE,

Edited the post for clarity.

Here is a shot of my rep "in the wild"

Thanks mvyz dfor the pics
I think it is well spotted the matter about external radius. The gen has a smoother starting of radius from the bezel

mitchbaria = complete noob to Pams!

I believe the answer should be ship but just so I'm not sorry later: YEA or NAY?

Concerning distortion this is one of the best ever seen. Isn't it?

Agreed, from these few pics it looks great. Have to have more angles to see more details, but mitchbaria you will be very happy with this!

If you read the thread from the beginning, you can see discussion of the same defect.

For my First Pam purchase this statement certainly makes me feel good... and I got to say this is my first time dealing with Ryan and he is simply incredible INCREDIBLE. :lol:

Look good and yes 8 sec a day is very much acceptable. I would accept this if it is mine.

I compared my QC pics to the ones from fellow mvyzfr1 (post#8). The crystals look similar. I read through his posts after he received the watch. He was initially disappointed saying there was a clear break in the distortion. However, in a subsequent posting, he feels the watch is no worse off compared to those from Ryan.

I am not sure if it's a viewing angle or does my distortion look bad when compared to those sold by Ryan? They are from the same factory after all. Should I request additional QC pics from other angles? Should I reject this watch?

I could really use any help I can get. Apologies for reposting the QC pics.

Your QC pics are fine in my opinion. The only ones that are "bad" are those with the defect as I noted in post #89

Just wondering what the final word is on the crystal distortion issue? I have heard that a new noob batch is currently in the works, can anyone verify that? A few of the dealers have told me that they are out of stock but one TD has a few and sent me these QC pics. From what Ive read on the forums it seems like the crystal distortion looks pretty good. Can anyone confirm or offer their opinion? Thanks.

I got my WSO crystal installed. The distortion issue is night and day IMO...

It's hard to tell, but the noob had more distortion, though it was much better than my other noob. There was still a slight break and much more distortion than the WSO.
