So, I purchased this model, Tank Solo 31mm RG AF 1:1 Best Edition White Dial on Brown Leather Strap A2892, and received it a couple of days ago. As soon as I saw the dial, I realized it was tilted. I contacted Puretime, and they said it looks like this. What does that mean? Is the dial of the original watch tilted? I don't think so. Also, they added photos of another order, not mine, as other watches have the same-titled dials. I have attached two images below. The first is with the lines I drew to show you the dial is not in line, and the second is the original photo. What do you think? Also, I just checked the photos they uploaded on their website, and the watch in the photos has a perfectly aligned dial.

I don't expect the perfect condition like the gen, but I do think that the dial alignment should be considered seriously. You just proved to everyone that all these watches have the same issue. I won't return the watch or make any fuss anymore cause it's my fault that I couldn't catch it during the QC. Also, thank you for the quick responses to my emails.This is a replica ,my friend. You can't expect it to be same like gen. From the picture, I don't think it's a big issue of the dial. and if you check the picture of the same watch from AF, you can see they are in same condition
Hey bro, I didn't mention it cause I couldn't catch it during the QC by just looking at the photos.

Ok. Well easy solution here. Sell the $200 fake and buy the $2000 real.
I get your point, but you think this gen costs only $2k is kinda wild lol wake up dude

Was thinking of the steel tanks but yeah
If you want the true advice just sell it here at a slight discount, and then buy another one and QC it better next time.
An illegal chinese replica is still made at a fraction of cost and will not have the strongest quality control
I agree. It's my second purchase, and the quality of the first one was actually not that bad. I just didn't expect to face this issue this time. I am going to keep it and move on.
It is not the dial, it is the lower outer part of the case slightly imbalanced that causes the problem, and the lighting too. No wonder you can't spot it with the QC pics, even now you took those photos and still don't see where the real problem is.
Thank you. From our latest pictures of the same model , it looks to be all same from AF factory. Actually, it's not very obvious to notice
Because you didn't use the Reddit QC tools. You have to be as smart as OP to spot this problem he can't fix.
