You all have been a world of help! Have a great day everyone
I'm glad we could help you. Good luck with your new watch. I love you.
Mate, I apologize for this thread. I have familiarised myself with the QC rules and I want to have another go at this.
PS, this is my first rep and purchase.
I am quite happy with the QC photos however as you can see from the below image the 6 marker looks a little slanted but every other marker looks good.
My main issue is, if I reject the QC the next rep may be worse.
What are your thoughts based on your experience of what you have seen regarding this particular model?

Remember it’s taken at an angle. The 6 is probably fine and if it is not you wil NEVER be able to tell. Accept it. Enjoy it. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Welcome to RWI.

I think you being utterly, totally, completely unrealistic in your expectations of your Chinese watch. Measure the degree of offset on that 6 o'clock marker and you will undoubtedly find it to be out by something like 0.1 mm.
There is a reason these watches cost 5% - 10% of the genuine article, accept that fact or move on to another hobby.

agree, this looks totally fine. I may take a shot of my gen and draw some lines across it just to show. You will never notice even if they are a tiny bit off - which they might not be

I just want to add one detail to this, if it helps anyone. Drawing these lines may be fun and aesthetically pleasing but never forget that lenses in cameras always have a certain amount of fish-eye added to it (due to the construction of the lens itself). It usually gets worse closer to the edges of the frame but it may affect the outcome even close to the center, especially when nitpicking like we tend to do here.
Check the alignment of that pearl!
In the picture you posted it looks somewaht misaligned towards the right side (crown). But again, keep in mind it could also be due to the perspective and/or the fish eye effect of that camera lens.
And - last but not least - as other have told you yet: it's a REP, only!

And this is precisely why posting QC pics is not appreciated on the forum.
Link has been removed before this fucking nonsense goes any further.
Hold on a second, maybe you need to familiarise yourself with the rules and purpose of posting QC pictures.
https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/replica-faq/94138-the-purpose-of-qc-pictures
Now while I will admit my original post did not adhere to the rules I did fix this up which resulted in some very positive responses as well as providing additional knowledge to myself as it is my first replica watch.
"PS, this is my first rep and purchase.

Calling a QC post "fucking nonsense" and stating "...QC pics are not appreciated on the forum" seems like a contradiction to the original post linked above.

I'm very familiar with the rules of posting QC pics - you aren't.
The 'fucking nonsense' was not your 'QC post', it was aimed at the poster who jumped in and started blathering about non-existent problems with the pearl - this is the 'fucking nonsense' I was referring to.
And it's for precisely this reason that QC threads are not appreciated by the mods and Admin - because 9 times out of 10 it just goes to shit, with people picking up on inexistent problems and defects, dissecting every aspect of the watch with what is often extremely limited knowledge of the subject.
It was established early on that the 'defects' in your watch were insignificant, therefore no need for the thread to continue.
