I couldn’t resist any longer... I’ll rock a NATO till the new version arrives and maybe use this bracelet on my gen SMP

Had to reject this one...

Date way off center + bezel paint is a mess

Do you concur?

If so, what do you think of the date?

Thanks...I know I'm a Newbie here, but the dial minute markers, bezel, and the helium release valve shape looks different than the gray/blue one, so was guessing it's a different model?

So what is missing for this to be a super rep? Only the bracelet?

Does anyone know for certain which movement is in this watch?
InTime lists it as "Asian 2824 automatic movement at 28800vph" but the watch has instant date change which I believe the 2824 is not capable of?
Whatever it is, it's amazingly accurate, I've had mine for a week now and it's gained less than 30 seconds in that time.
My V9 Noob 116610 gained around 70 seconds in the same period.

This is my 2nd QC - look at the insert. It’s a mess. Are you all seeing inserts like this?! (Should I accept)

It's a 2836, you can clearly see the markings on the backplate close to the balance wheel

Mine is flawless so something is not quite right on that one.
It’s probably true that you’ll not see it while it’s on your wrist but you’ll know it’s not as good as it could be.
Personally, knowing there are better quality VSF bezels out there, I’d reject it but I’m pedantic...

Agreed, that bezel looks bad. Mine is also without flaws, lucky break I guess.
