Hi guys,

As a noob to reps, how picky are we allowed to be during the quality checking of our watch? Will TDs be annoyed if you keep asking for more pictures in different angles etc?

Also, what if I regret my purchase after QC pics and would like to choose another watch with a similar price? Anyone got experience with this?

Thanks in advance!

If you have OCD or if you expect perfection, you will definitely be considered as an unreasonable and pain in the ass. As most people know that there is no perfect replica. There will be flaws.

If you green light your QC, there may be no turning back as the watch will be shipped 24 hr after QC.

If you have a buyers remorse feeling, you will probably want to pick a different hobby.

Another great option is to try to build a relationship with a TD that you can trust that they will take care of you when getting samples. It should be fine asking for extra photos as long as you're reasonable with it BUT THERE ISNT GOING TO BE A Perfect rep as efajri said because you can't expect $xxxxxxx quality from a $xxx rep.

I fully agree about this. Don't expect a flawless rep, just more pics basically, different angles, close ups on DW etc.
About my question about regretting my purchase. I mean before GL'ing the QCs, switching order before the original one being sent.

Thanks for opinions

You can definitely reject QC but I am not sure if you can change the watch since a dealer must buy the watch from a factory for your QC. But you never know.
