QC help - ZF AP 15500 v3

[Kaptajnen2000]

Hello everyone,

I just received my QC pictures for my new 15500 and i have a question I'd love to have your input on. It looks like the right part of the 12-o'clock indicators are more elevated than the left. Am i just seeing things, or do you see it as well?

Right you are.

At least it draws your eye away from the crooked AP logo....

This one is really up to you. I'd wear it because I know that :

- 99.9% of people don't know what an AP is
- The ones who do, have no clue how to spot a rep
- While wearing on your wrist no one will be able to see that
- I can't expect AP quality from a rep that costs pennies on the dollar versus a gen

That all being said..... it's your decision.

Those 2 misalignments are within my acceptance range. Nobody can guarantee the next one would be better. Nevertheless, it is your choice.

I have to agree with the comments above, for me, the differences are far to small for anyone to notice in day-to-day life, even close up I wouldn't have looked at that very very slight misalignment and thought rep. Many gens have none perfect alignments also.

As the saying goes, the biggest tell of a rep is the wearer, not the watch. In this case, I think you have a great example of a fantastic rep, but ultimately it is your decision as all our tolerances are different

Don’t bother with such a small “defect”
In fact I ve seen a review of a gen nautilus on a very prestige dealer Chanel under zoom cam and the 12 0’clock was also misalignment

Just look at how big you have to magnify the pic to be able to see it.
