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).
I think you should really think about what is it you are buying ...

It feels to me as if who I buy from is more important than what I buy, but you are probably more experienced, and I am likely mistaken.

Hmm these exist in the wild and they are gen. I am surprised they have not been replicated lol as they have a collectible value.



The two 9's are amazing! I bet everyone thinks it's a rep. I'd love that watch. But you could never have it serviced, they'd destroy it.

Secondly I see nothing on the Daytona🙈 I'm sure it's staring me in the face but I genuinely don't see it.

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.


Personally, I'd reject it. If you've noticed it now, you'll notice it on your wrist.

Everytime I have gone against this, I've always ended up selling it because the ADHD rep watch paranoia kicks in and boop, ruins the watch. Reject, get next.

Some people can live with these faults, it's minor but it would bug me too.

You do you, ignore the derp attitude. Most of these people wouldn't accept it, nor buy it on M2M either. I sell a lot of watches here, and you wouldn't beleive the amount of random questions about alignment, dust under the dial etc etc. Most people are anal about these things.

If you noticed it in QC you will only stare at the flaws when you get the watch on the wrist. Trust me - been there, done that.

friend, you are buying something not exactly legal, built in a shady "factory" from an email "dealer" on the other side of the planet...

you are not buying a high end piece from a boutique in Place Vendome in Paris. Hell, you are not even buying a Citizen from a department store.

The guys owe you exactly nothing beyond what they care to give.

The service we get is mostly due from the goodwill RWI has built over the years.
You are neither on a gen Rolex/Tudor forum...You are on a rep forum...

Again, you do you and you make your own decisions. I understand perfectly that you want the most from your money. We all want that.

But you are not doing a usual everyday transaction here. I only wanted to give you some extra perspective. Just imagine you were buying some H in a back alley. Would you quibble the same with the dealer?

Thank you for your time and sharing a different perspective. While I agree on many points, one has to accept that he is knowingly selling a faulty product. Accordingly, there would be no point in the efforts made, and the standards set on RWI and other platforms, there would be no need to give the name TD to intermediaries, and there would be no need to strive for better and more successful products to be produced in the beautiful REP world, because after all, since replica products are bought, it is not right to expect quality(! ?), at least to expect service during the purchase process.

I understand that, some buyers really have unnecessary issues and unnecessary attitudes and I think they are torturing the intermediaries, I don't find this right, but I don't think it's very wrong to expect minimum quality standards, but as I said, this is my thought, we don't have to think the same way.

I will prefer to shop through the TD who gives me all the possible support, not with intermediaries who try to flog me clearly faulty products. Maybe such a TD does not exist yet, but I don't think it's wrong to demand it either. Because yes, everyone wants to get their money's worth and is right in this regard, even it isn't a usual transaction. Don't you think?

i think in much simpler terms. if you feel the watch is not good for you, then reject it and move on.

QC is offered to you. It was not that way before.

My point is that you cannot expect the dealer to QC for you. if they do, then great. You got a bonus. but you are not in a position to "demand" anything because you did not contribute anything.

And in an ideal world that'd be great, but the factories are being raided and closed down more often, inventory is in short supply and i don't think the TD's can be as fussy as they once were, maybe if things get better you'll see better quality.

I don't think you understand the term "knowingly." If you think the TD saw that the 9 marker was microscopically tilted (and I'm not sure it is due to the curvature of the crystal) and that the TD sent QC pics anyway, then you are batshit crazy. They don't look at the watch through a loop just like nobody else will look at it with magnification while you are wearing it. You guys have completely unreasonable expectations of what you are buying. I've never scrutinized gen watches costing 10-25 times as much like you do these fake watches. What happened to buying the watch and just having fun with your new toy? I think one of the issues is that some of you knuckleheads are trying to pass these watches off as gen and are afraid you are going to get called out while you are flexing with your buddies, at work or on Instagram.
