Pelagos QC opinion please

[wags]

I would appreciate any QC feedback on the following please:

1. For anyone who has a pelagos, would the #4 marker bother you in real life? Will it be noticeable?

2. The lume at 50 on the Bezel looks poor. Would it be considered ok to reject due to this?

Thank you! :drinks_cheers::drinks_cheers:

I am new to Tudor watches, but to be honest, the lume is bad. I would reject this one. Tell Toro to get you another one

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it

yeah, that lume looks bad...I would ask for another lume shot before I reject it...maybe had the 50 covered a bit while charging?

@wags Are you in the US? If you do, when you get the watch and you don't like it, let me know, and I will buy it from you. There, you have a buyer now

That 4 o clock marker looks pretty acceptable to me. Personally, I would accept it if that was the only issue. However, the lume on that 50 marker in the bezel looks pretty badly. I would reject it because I really prefer my watches to have perfect or at least decent lume.

Then again I am a new member to the forum so my comments are only observations from a newcomer. I would listen to the more experience members' input.

Good luck with your watch purchase. :adoration:

Ok thanks guys, good idea. I’m trying to not be too painful. It’s the second qc, case back was badly scratched on the first

Is this a v6f? They are notorious for hit or miss bad bezel lume. I'd reject and ask for a zf. That lume is unacceptable and TBH, I'm not sure why they even sent you those QA pics with it that bad. I've had both makers and zf is by far better lume and overall build quality.

Yes, I was ok with the #4 marker and I do wonder how it presents in the non macro real world.
I was bummed about the lume. I was very happy with the dial of the previous qc. But it had a dodgy case back.... hopefully I won’t get put to the bottom of the pile....
Thanks for the reply!

To me the #9 marker looks crooked

Thanks, I agree. I think 12,6 and 9 are critical. You can second guess yourself though, staring at them long enough...

Bear in mind that the inconsistent lume fill will be visible in the light also. At first I thought mine was dirty and then upon closer inspection I saw the lume was uneven and not filled. In the correct light it was pretty visible.

Good point, thank you!

Ask for another lume shot.
If it ends up looking the same, then ask him to have the bezel replaced, or a new sample, which ever is quickest for Toro to make happen.

He’s getting another. Thank you for the input everyone, it has been most helpful, cheers!
