just received my 312 ytd & i am thrilled!! love the watch & its wrist presence.. but i noticed 2 things tt seems out of place..

1) my d/w seems to be wrong.. font&printing is perfectly fine but e colour..it seems to be a 359M d/w.. has a yellow-orangey tint to it.. wasnt shown on e QC pics which i believe due to lighting..

2) of 4 lug ends, 3 of them showed signs of extreme machine or hand sanding marks, direction&grit of e sandpaper(i'm assuming tts how they brush e cases) r totally off.. only noticeable when e protective stickers were off..

questions are, anyone had this prob.? &is this a case to highlight to e TD.? not flaming or faulting anyone, at this point.. TD i dealt with had been very efficient in every way possible.. i knw i cant return e watch as i have taken off all e stickers..not hoping to either..

just seeing if anyone encountered this with e 312, 320, etc..except of cux e 359..

i'm thinking these r e possible solutions:-

D/W
- inform TD & see if he's able to ship e correct d/w& get it installed myself.
or
- inform TD & see if he's willing to do an exchange.

Case
- do some refinishing on my own (which will lead me to ask, which grit shld i be using since i dont own a dremel)

cheers.

PS: again, i'm not flaming e TD or Factories, its part&parcel of e rep game, luck of e draw&all.. DO NOT ALLOW THIS POST TO STOP YOU FROM PURCHASING ANY OF THE 3xx MODELS!! THEY"RE AMAZING !! :)

will post pics later as i'm out with my folks for fathers' day celebrations.

I'D LIKE TO WISH ALL FATHERS-TO-BE, FATHERS, STEP-FATHERS, GOD-FATHERS, GRANDFATHERS, GREAT GRANDFATHERS, etc A BLESSED & MEANINGFUL FATHERS' DAY :)

if u'r a any of the above mentioned&u'r reading this post, GET OFF UR COMPUTER, LAPTOP, MOBILE DEVICE or whatever platform u may be using&spend some quality time with ur family..hahahahahahahaha

Pretty the DW colour is normal and is meant to match the dial print. My 328 (from Josh) is the same.

I had the Gen 312 and I currently have the PT 312, the date wheel color is slightly off but not enough to bug me. My biggest gripe about the watch is the crown guard, the Gen one slighty sticks out, this one is too close to the body (it's an easy fix)

Gen is 6250
Rep is 250

I love having the extra cash in my pocket and for the money you cant go wrong. They did a wonderful job on this one.
