SN# not engraved and swiss made near the 6... not a V3

How to differentiate the engraved to non-engraved SN?
And Swiss made near 6?
I see my QC pic exactly the same as the Swiss made in this. Please enlighten, thanks. :)

mmmmmm you seem to be very protecting of this dealer! something stinks!

nothing stinks here mate. i can understand you being sceptical but my relation with this dealer is nothing more than being a customer. i purchased another watch from the same dealer couple months ago and happy with the service.

besides even they are in HK, we are share the same orijin and have better comunication than other dealers. also they can address a watchsmith here where i live that i can get after sale service plus our customs apply strict policies for the goods coming from China, they give guarantee for me to receive the watch. another plus shipping included for where i live.

so thats all about between me and the dealer, if i wanted highlight the dealer i would do something else.

what i said was it isnt the place to discuss the dealer but the watch.


if this watch in the pictures doesn't seem to have any issues i will accept and i noted the SN of the watch, otherwise i will return the watch. that is simple for me.


so engraved "swiss made", how can i tell from the pictures, it seems same to me with other QC pics of v3. what i am missing?

could anyone comment on the mechanism?


also contacted with a TD from here and waiting for the QC pictures, i will be posting them also to compare. if both have the same quality i will choose the first dealer as they give me advantages for my location.

Dear bowers
That happens when you publish the QC pics without concrete flaws or issues or you ask all members about the pics of a watch
Everyone gives opinions and you will get confused.

The movement is OK

And, besides the S/N, the position of the Swan Neck and the position of the slots of screws will be another identity cards to identify your future watch. No problems about that.

Is this engraved or etched?
Newbie here, I can't really tell the differences.

thanks ALE, you have been in great help

i accept that was my mistake to publish the photos as they are QC, seems they are advertised photos. i had no idea about it, now i am. so scratch the QC initials and let's consider this is the watch i will be receiving. that will be my problem if i get the watch i published the pics of or not.

looking at the watch, is this a v3 or an older version with pre-V hands applied? can we tell?
