Got my QC with a photo. What do you think about the date wheel? It seems to me that the number "4" is too much shifted up
The top of the date window is in shadow which doesn't help. How do the other dates look?

Okay, I got it. At the moment, TD said yes, he sees the problem and offered to wait a few days until he finds others for me.
But after looking at the QC posts on reddit, I realized that it would be difficult to do)) Although with the date it seems that only I was unlucky)

Hey guys, these are my vsf's:



I wanted to know if anyone has used the glidelock to make the bracelet slightly looser. I'm paranoid about breaking it. I watched this video:

It looks straightforward. I just want to make it a tad looser

You’re not going to damage anything using it. That’s the whole point of it to be used 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hello everyone What can you say about the amplitude? Some people tell me that you can take, others say that 247 is bad and you need to look for at least 270...

Look at KJ2020's post. You're all good
Great, thanks for the answer! I wrote to my TD about 55 degrees. But I already understand that at 55 I will show much more than 247)))
It remains to be understood whether the Index alignment at 1,2,7,8 is a distortion or not) I will ask for a photo where the clock is on the table, perhaps it will be clearer this way
I have already accepted the date distortion) On the new watch again half of the dates are overstated, the other half is understated))

Do not use that retarded idiot tool from Reddit. It does not take into account distance, angle, perspective, lens distortion or anything else. The watch looks good. You should accept it.

I've already realized that this test is complete nonsense. I don't understand how people on reddit have everything coincides even with crooked angles.
he sent me some more photos where the watch is just lying on the table and the view from above. And this test shows that all indexes are curves)))
Yes, I accept it.

Much appreciated - on Nickz website now and starting process with him - I just can't wear the 116618LB.... the orange is an assault on my eyes.

Whelp, just shipped my 116618LB to Nickz via DHL. Heard some not encouraging words from the pack n ship place about rising theft on international shipments so added insurance because what the hell, in for a penny in for a pound.

Hello everyone. Can I torture you a little more here?))
My watch is on its way to me, but now I noticed one detail in the qc photo




Photo number 1 - the triangular index on the bezel coincides with the 12 o'clock mark on the dial (there may be a shift to the right, but less than a millimeter)
Photo number 2 is already a more noticeable shift to the right of the index on the bezel
in many other photos, the displacement of the triangular pointer on the bezel to the right by a distance of about 1 millimeter or even less is also noticeable
Question: if this is NOT an optical distortion, is there some small "backlash" inside which it will be possible to simply push the bezel to an even 12 o'clock mark?
P.S. I know that the index of the bezel is very often shifted even worse on gen)

I really think you need to do something to take you mind off this. As you’ve said the watch is on the way to you, you’ve accepted the QC so just chill, without sounding rude it’s getting a bit boring now.

Just realign the insert I guess ;P
