... Dealer is more selective next time they work with factory. Factory can't sell some watches with bad QC. Factory takes a loss on watches with bad QC. Factory incentivized to improve QC.
Nope, doesn't work that way mate, factory doesn't give a stuff because we are a very small corner of the market and the rest are nowhere near as anal as we are. I've been at this a damn long time, please don't try to second guess me.

In my view QC should not just include photos but should also be a check, if possible, to ensure the watch actually runs without any problems at least for 12 hours. It would possibly help prevent against doa watches or the recent problem I encountered where the second hand catches on the hour hand at a particular time and the watch stops. When a watch from China arrives on your doorstep and it doesn't work it's hassle to sort the issue out, I realize it's a risk with this hobby but anything that can be done to minimize doa watches or those with faulty mechanisms/movements is worthwhile.
They generally do mate but stuff happens in transit and the issue you describes is a perfect example of shock damage. The watch gets dropped and the hand moves on the pinion. Do you know how Chinese postal workers "care" for your parcel?

Funny video. But I presume it's like that in many countries. My goods from Asia never suffered any flaws.

But regarding QC pics they're never detailed enough. You always notice dust or so when it arrives. That happened to me when ordering a marina militare.

Hi all,

I made my first purchase from torobravo which is a TD and I added some note requesting QC Pics.

Is it the right way to do it?

Thanks

Probably already covered, but I just got QC pics from a TD for one of my watches on order and it wasn't even the correct watch! Just a nice way to double check on everything.

Hi guys,

I'm new to RWI but i was reading a lot of thread and I just bought my first Sub rep (Sub 116610 LN Black Ceramic LF 1:1 Best Edition SA3135 V3).

The bigger problem is getting an exchange/refund if the QC is not up to par when received for obvious legal reasons
