QC check - 346

[chubs3a]

Could I get some advice on this QC pic that I got for a 346?

My concern is just the paint fills aren't complete. Especially on the "A" of Swiss Made and the 23 jewels part.

I have other pics of the watch too and I think they look fine. But if you want some eye candy, just let me know and I'll post

Thanks!

Yes, it seems some paint is missing.
I would ask for another one.

toro is really reluctant to source another watch that is on sale though.

Definitely ask for a different one. This is on sale with all dealers, doesnt mean the dealer should have a right to make you take one that is defected.

idk ... if the rest of it looks good id take it.. why risk getting one that looks worse ?

Defiantly so,etching to consider, it was rumored that the extremely discounted models such as the Pam's being offered at 190 etc and omega at 8500 100$ cheaper were the ones that have failed qc checks numerous times.

I'm guessing iggy is right.

Thanks for the help everyone. I've asked for another one, will update as soon as I get QC pics.

Update: it's been two days and they haven't responded yet. Going to send another email and hopefully they will give some sort of info (ordered from a TD)

It makes sense.
However, sometimes, those are on sale just because a new "improved" version was released, and anybody is no longer interested in the old version.

On the other hand, I´d consider a "not too faith deal" to try to sell "defective watches that failed QC checks" , without informing via the add itself about that. So, possible costumers, can decide if they take the chance and go for it or not.

Fortunately, TDs send QC pics of their "on sale" products, too.

First off I want to say that Toro is a GREAT TD. And to prove it, I have spent $$$$ with him over the past few years. But, I don't think you deal with "Toro" when reviewing QC pics. I believe you are dealing with Toro's man (or woman???) behind the curtain... His Chinese counterpart. I have had similar issues with this person in the past where I would identify a flaw, like a chip on a bezel marker and receive a similar response. The key is to not take "no" for an answer. As long as your request is reasonable, you should not feel bad about asking for a new watch. However, you've got to be patient and realize you've probably gone to the back of the line. It takes a few days everytime you play QC roulette. But you'll be happy in the end.

As above commented insist with Toro and wait a little.
Toro is a very good trusted dealer and you will get a solution sooner or later

Please let me know if you have not reply from Toro

Thanks Ale. And the TD I am dealing with isn't Toro. Its InTime.

Shouldn't take too long intime sent me my QC photos very fast the one time I went though him although idk about the speed of getting a second set of QC photos. But my time with intime was great

Yikes, sorry, Vader1 mentioned Toro... not the OP.

For InTime I have heard of similar issues. The answer is the same... be patient and don't take no for an answer.

toro always stated that the profit he made with these sales is not worth the trouble. he would rather gave me a refund.( was regarding the faux screw on 346 mvt, some is no evenly fitted,leaving a tilting screw head, which can only be seem at a angel. second qc i got is the same up right angel as chubs3a pic, and got no result about more detail shot with mvt

If it really bothers you then get another, shouldn't be trouble for your TD, even if they are reluctant at first. Mine came pretty spot on from sead.

Sometimes a TD doesn't respond because they are out trying to get you a new watch. That itself may take 3-5 days, depending on your TD and the availability of the watch.

OK
But it is the same with InTime Ryan. No worries about

Please let me know if you have not reply from Ryan

Here are QC pics that I received for another watch. The wording on the back looks better, however, compared to the first watch they gave me, this one looks like there is masking tape covering the gears in the middle.

Keep or reject?

First watch-

Second watch-
