as long as it's just the crown, you should be fine under German decency laws
The last time I heard the German decency law stated that when you wear an FG Daytona in U-Bahn, no one will bat an eye until you take out the newspaper and the adv said this Sunday is Verkaufsoffener Sonntag and Netto has an extra 20% off on all items.

Is it reasonable to ask a TD to include in the video the date being changed by time setting as well as with the quick date change function? The last QC I received the date wasn't shown being changed with either method.


As a hobbyist watchmaker I would suggest that it would be beneficial to the longevity of the watch to have it serviced after getting it. At least for watches where parts are difficult to come by. I am now servicing one of the watches I recently received, a ~ 2 year old replica Omega and it was dirty inside the movement with some parts lubricated and others totally dry. There are now two faults in the watch due to improper lubrication/dirt. One part I can easily replace, the other I cannot.

Parts that should be lubricated that are not will wear and the dirt will combine with the oil on any of the properly lubricated parts and form an abrasive paste that will also wear those parts. And if a part needs to be replaced it's possible that you (or your watchmaker) may not be able to source the part, and then you don't have a working watch. If the movement is one where parts are readily available then it isn't as big of a concern as you could wait to have it serviced when something breaks. The repair and service will be more expensive than a normal service as you also now need parts, but it is certainly an option.
The TD I ordered the watch in question told me they don't provide videos at all. The only pics they would give me were 300x300 and refused hires

You're still going on about this ? The pictures you've received are more than adequate.
