Hey guys so after reviewing the pics Sead sent me I noticed the crown sapphire looked cracked in one of the images and the ring around the sapphire was misaligned lemme know if you agree and if I should ask Sead to send it back. Thanks.

I guess you mean this image. You could ask them to take a closer look at it.

Wow, you have super sharp eyes. Yes, you should ask Sead to take a closer look / send additional pictures of the crown

Update: After asking sead to send more pictures of the crown he emailed me 2 new pictures to which its still hard to tell if there's a huge crack in the crown sapphire or not so i asked if he could send more because I just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong with it and he said "ok but really nothing wrong with it"

What do you guys think should I give him the greenlight?

All i can do is telling about my experience with Sead. But its still your choice.
Ive had some QC Pictures where i marked some things that looked like Scratches or Missalignet things.
Sead told me that the watch is ok and everything is fine.
I decided to trust him and agreed the watch. And i am still happy with this decision, because he was right. The watch is really awesome.
Maybe this will help you.
Anyways good luck !

Remember you are buying a replica watch produced in china in a secluded factory with little or no quality control by people on a super low payscale who more than likely dont give a flying fcuk so do not expect perfection. I can however offer you some comfort in that Sead is very reliable and is a TD of longstanding here.

A short 10 sec closeup video turning the knob would be best.

I agree with this but a crack/chip of that magnitude even for a rep feels like a big deal

QC video's are nothing new, TD's are already doing this, like Trusty Time: http://www.trustytime02.cc/index.php...ducts_id=18528
People that are just joining the replica scene might not be aware of it.
BTW, Sead/Supermirrors is super helpful, he is one of the few TD's that is sending QC pics before you pay. I've never found another TD that does this.

I was in exact same position when I thought some markers were misaligned. But he told me they looked fine and it was probably the angle of pics. I decided to trust him and the watch I got was perfect and everything was aligned. Got 4 watches from Sead so far
