Hey Asheron, thanks... Btw, you move your store?
Bro, i got no store leh haha.
Thanks! However, i can't help to notice some members have received blur QC pics while some receive Good 'HD' ones lol. Any to recommend? Probably will be getting my first PAM!
Well it depends, nowadays some dealers are reachable via Whatsapp so they can send you QC via that mode, else it would still be via email with pics taken using digital cameras.
i personally think QC pics are just vision check. Whether you receive a good working condition one you can't tell by QC pics. That's what happen to mine. Unlucky i would say.
all i can say is... poh heng sway haha, the QC pics serve as a review of the watch you be getting cosmetically wise, cant really tell internally if its up to std or CMI, thats why a good and reliable dealer plays an important role in after-sales support.
take for example a Rolex Sub-C, the DW alignment for date "28" is good when QC pics are given, but when you received the watch, Dates 1 through 5, the alignment abit off centered, this one cannot tell from QC pics and also the dealer will also not go through the trouble of taking individual pics of all 31 dates for you, so you just gotta pray and hope you received a good piece.
just some food for thoughts, at the end of the day, don't set your expectations too high cause in the end these are rep watches that cost a fraction of the gen but looks and feels the most part of it to around 90% or more gen-like. if you wish to get it perfect in every way, you could get it modded with gen parts (go franken) / fixed the alignment flaws by a watchsmith or simply buy the gen.
