[QC] Tudor Black Bay Shield from ZF

[Akademiks]

Hey guy, please help me QC this red bezel Black Bay Shield version from ZF. Only thing I noticed (or I think it's there) is that triangle at 12 is moved a little to the left, you can see that when compering indices that should point even places at triangle and they are not, but differences is ultra small. Similar thing with index 6, I think it's little bit askew to the left. Do you guys agree? Anything else you noticed maybe? Also anyone knows if those parts can be moved on that watch and attached properly?

The noon marker I wouldn't worry about and don't think worth RLing it, but that 6 and 9 marker are both off enough to reject. Tell them you reject it because of the 6 and 9 alignments. They will either fix it or find you another.

There is a tiny bit of alignment issue, even on the gens (and I do mean tiny), so you need to be realistic about the Rep expectations. The 12 marker would be a perfect example of tolerance you should allow. The others, however, aren't good enough even for a Rep.

Thanks for your Input CanRep . I also thought I can live with that triangle (or try to repair it) but those markers made me RL. Now I got another one. But it looks like 9 marker is too low again maybe I just take it and some watch Smith can reattach it properly? Otherwise watch looks ok

Nah, that one looks fantastic. GL and wear with pride! Those are close up shots and honestly you stare at them for so long I swear you start to see phantom misalignments haha (I get it though, you want the perfect watch). I dont see any issue with the 9 marker, and when you see it in person it's even less obvious than the QC pics make it out to be.

Great choice btw. I've got the same with the black bezel and love it. It's my daily wearer now. You will be smitten when you get it, mark my words. Only advice I have is that when mine came the bezel was practically fixed in place it was so stiff. I just had to turn it a bunch of times and add a slight amount of wd40, and it's great now. Just mentioning it in case, as I was panicking when it first arrived that way!

Yeah, after some time I sent just looking at it I just accepted it, I think its either the angle or its just really minor thing. Once again thanks...hows your BB holding up? I already got CrPO with black bezel and BPFF, also with black bezel, thought I'll add some color to my life
