[MENTION=95451]Rolexx[/MENTION], may I know if in viewing the actual watch, this grey rep's dial exhibits the gen's sunburst dial effect? See image below. Trying to decide between the "grey" (actually, Dark Rhodium) and the silver. See image of gen dial below. TIA!
@FredZ that looks nice!
my second round of QC has arrived. Don't see any major issues. I asked for more pics of day wheel and different dates, hopefully alignment is good so I can accept already
Based on the QC pics in this thread, the text printing on grey dial is more legible than the silver dial.

@thinwhiteduke
hard to say mate, still don't have it with me. >.>
i got frustrated with my TD's QC people, I had asked to see different dates and they sent them, and they were aligned well. Then i ask to see the days of the week (they've done this for me before), and they reply saying they can't do that because they have more photos to send and I'm not the only customer. I kindly replied that they are being rude to a paying customer and that I wanna make sure I'm buying the quality I paid for, to which they reply they will show me "another one." I ask what they mean and they say there's dust on the dial and are getting me a new watch. WTF. I was perfectly happy with this specimen, dust on the dial doesn't bother me as it's easily fixable, unlike a day or day wheel alignment issue. I asked to see the "dust" stating that if it isn't too bad I wouldn't have a problem with it. No reply. So now I have to wait 2-3 more days to get a new watch that could have alignment issues (which I will reject) all because some idiot at their QC department wanted to get sassy with me instead of sending the damn photos. I would have accepted the second watch but now it seems I'm fked out of that watch. I really hate the language barrier with these people sometimes.
What do you gents think? Am I out of line and asking for too much?

Well I found a solution for the misaligned date wheel.
I've ordered a bk dwo for 30.00 which is the same font and made for a 2836 All dates will now be centered.
So If you guys have date issues I highly recommend ordering one.
Now if I see my day wheel has smudged days I'm going to show my td and ask him to source me a new day wheel and you guys should do the same.

That's messed and frustrating but typical.
Who was the td?

The one and only Sead (Supermirrors), he's top notch. You'll have to be a bit patient with him though; but it's all worth it in the end.
This is actually the second watch, I rejected the first for issues that were presented in this thread. Mainly the #4 marker and black spots

Looks fantastic. Wish mine turns out like that.
Only flaw I see is a slight offset of the dial. Notice the spacing around the black circle line on the dial.

That may be due to the angle the photo is in (I think he uses a phone I'm not sure) I'll look out for that when it comes in, thanks for the tip!
