Photos of new watch - acceptable?

[Darkharley]

Hi guys,

I apologise if this is in the wrong area I have no idea where to post.

Just received photos (not very good ones), of my watch which is ready to be sent. It’s a Daytona clean v3. What’s everyone’s thoughts on it? Is it acceptable? I appreciate the photos and lighting is terrible. I’m having the deep crystal put on it too.

Thanks

Do you have any thoughts about the images yourself, anything specific you're wondering about?

I recommend that you read these:

A little on QC pics.

QC pics are to satisfy YOU that the watch is OK to YOUR standards, that there are no crooked indices, missing lume, offset chrono hands etc. QC pics are not for picking tells or things that are present in every example of a model such as spelling errors, happy feet, wrong lume colour etc. These...

The purpose of QC pictures

At RWI, we're fortunate to have a few dealers who take the time to individually procure, inspect, and photograph watches for potential buyers. This has not always been the norm, and in fact, it's a recent development. Up until about two years ago, all of the dealers drop-shipped everything and...

From the research I’ve been doing I was wondering if the hole in the crown/corner was too big?

Who is the TD?

Who is the TD?

A guy called Mateus H, my brother has got one off him before

So in other words, not a TD?

Yes it's slightly big compared to gen but it's not a QC issue, it's inherent with this rep batch, you can reject 10x and it will not change anything unfortunately.

For me, I think it's fine. Maybe some of the numbers on subdial is a little cutoff but I wouldn''t RL because of that.

Trusted Rep Dealers

Is there anyway I can tell if this is a genuine clean V3?

 

[Rx4Time]

Check the movement.

 

[Darkharley]

Check the movement.

Thanks. I know you can’t tell by the stickers really but do the stickers on mine look legit? The 4131 sticker looks different to ones I see online

This is why we buy from TDs.
And the stickers keep changing all the time, it's impossible to tell if it's real or not based on them alone.

My brother said he’s on the TD list of this watch group he’s in. And to be fair the guy has a Facebook page with 2,000 members with guys regularly posting recommendations of their watches they just got off him

But to be honest I don’t understand too much about how this all works

Don't get me wrong, not all sellers outside the TD list here are bad sellers.

But especially for new buyers, who aren't very familiar with either the products or the warning signs out there, it's safest to buy from sellers you already know you can trust and who deliver the product you purchase. That way, you don't have to worry about whether, for example, it's a real or a fake Clean.

I got a Pepsi Clean v2 form CTime and there was no stickers on the bottom but the watch itself it’s amazing
