My TD sent me these photos of Tudor BB Red. The crooked 9 marker caught my eye straight away. Just wanna seek views here before I respond to my TD, to make sure that I'm not being paranoid and that it is within reason to reject QC.

I understand parallax and optics so I think that overlay is stupid as all get-out but regardless of that, I agree the 9 marker is crooked.
Yes the nine marker is crooked but you don't need to map it out like you are Christopher Columbus charting the new world.

Not sure what the TD has to do with this. Do you blame the AD when they sell a Tudor with this same issue ?
Agree that we shouldn't be blaming the TD (which I'm not!). Have conveyed the crooked 9 marker nicely to my TD, for them to resolve with ZF. Fingers crossed for a favourable outcome

I might have given this a proper look but was immediately put off by the second pic with those dreaded lines all over the place
I have a feeling that given the current climate, if you reject this you might end up with no watch or one with a bigger defect.

That marker is indeed off, you dont need the lines to see that!
I would reject it, unless you are in a hurry and have a good watchsmith near you who can straighten that up for you

Whoever developed that silly app with lines (that is terribly inaccurate) should be repeatedly kicked in the nuts.
sigh....remember the black bay has a domed crystal which will cause visual artifacts. The marker is fine. Accept and enjoy. Below is my genuine Black Bay GMT. Should I complain to Tudor as the reddit tool makes my markers look off?
I absolutely despise that reddit tool. It has almost zero utility.

For me there is nothing to blame, but to put it right (in my perspective) the TD should see this issue upfront, don't you think? For me, this isn't a normal situation.... In my view, the situation is more like this; "the product that came to me is really terrible, but let's send the QC, maybe my customer won't notice..." What should happen is the TD should turn to the customer and say, "Such a product has arrived, but it seems kind a faulty, maybe not a biggie. If it doesn't bother you, I'll send this product, otherwise, you need to give me time for a new product... etc. etc."
Isn't that the point of being a TD? In my view, a TD should be someone who stands by me in unmissable details, am I wrong? The issue is not to blame anyone, but a Tudor dealer should also not try to sell me a product if there is a problem with it (of course, in my opinion).
