I ordered mine and rejected due to its misaligned date disc BUT even more because: I figured the gen is a front loader and it looks like the 8+ is the same. Due to my precision fetish I'd be going nuts if I had to open the watch via bezel removing glass, hands and dial before I could regulate the movement. However it's good to read the bracelet seems comfy. Give us pics when you can. Cheers.

On the subject of rejected QCs, has anyone noticed an issue with 8+ having consistently crooked 9 markers? Between all the photos I've seen, I'd swear most of them are slanted at least a couple of degrees counter-clockwise.

The dial cross was crooked, yes. The cross on the case was good. But the date disc wasn't centered. one of my QCs:

Also I wasn't sure about the dial color. Is it gold? is it salmon? is it champagne? It certainly does look different in different lights. But as said, my main concern was the monobloc case/fixed caseback.

If you can get the XF2000v, go get this instead.

If you insist on a VC222, then either you put in some patience and wait for a better rep or get this 8+ with the blatantly wrong date window.

Just my views.
Everything is wrong about it - none of these models exist in gen aside the gold but who wants fake gold.
