I got my QC pictures today. Asked for a picture in natural lighting, as the dial markers look incredibly yellow.
But the rest of it, looks very good so I'm hopeful.

It looks great man! Mine are a little yellow too. But with how good the lume is you can hardly tell. Mines always lit up like a flashlight

Looks great!

I've been playing with the idea of buying the ceramic silver seamaster. There's two versions, the VSF and OMF, but unsure which one to go with! I've been into Ross for years, but after a year out so break from any purchases, there are so many new makers.

Should say reps, not Ross. Stupid predictive text!

The 9 ‘o’ clock marker looks crooked, it looks as though it is drooping down.

Yeah, the VSF looks to be the best. So from reading, the V2 resolved a few issues, namely the shitty clasp and issue with endlinks?

Just recieved my V2, and exactly the same issue with the 9pm marker. Plus I can't get a small enough screwdriver to remove any of the links!!!

A standard set of jewellers screwdrivers will have the size you need for these and most watches.

mine also has slightly yellow indexes, but then it always depends on exposure to light however excellent piece the nine o'clock index is actually slightly crooked it happened to me too with a diver 007 the watchmaker fixed it by ungluing it and gluing it straight

I have three sets as I'm a collector, and none fit. The thread line is so thin, the blade of none of my screwdrivers fit.

You could use a whetstone to thin one of your screwdrivers blades down a bit.

I received my QC pictures today, and got the same issue, the crooked 9PM.
I think I saw it on the grey one, but not the black.
I am suprised if every item shows the same tilt that nobody talked about until now.

But it's on enlarged pictures, I don't think it will be seen IRL without magnification.

It's very noticeable on mine

Almost all of them have it. It’s a common and one of the only flaws. You can accept it and deal with it and/or fix it. Or you can red light it and I’ll bet you’ll go through many many others til you find one that doesn’t have it
