okay this picture shows the more palladium the whiter the gold or not ?

You are not understanding what I was saying. My comment wasn’t about it being more yellow than yellow gold. I said it is more yellow than rhodium plated white gold because it is palladium WG. Which you can see by what I posted and have been saying, is more yellow than rhodium plated WG.

I own a fair share of gen wg pieces and I can’t even tell the difference weight aside. My skyd has an ivory dial so the contrast between the white gold and “yellow” hue is more apparent but without holding it I would never know. I could do a side by side of my platona v white gold Daytona and my mind would be just as confused lol

Sorry to bother you guys, but I'm having trouble with QC pics - I keep getting watches with horrendously left centered date wheels and they're trying to fob me of saying they're all like that.

As such, please, please could you guys post a front on picture of your watches with the date set to the 27th so I can provide the TD with proof of how the watch should be?

I'd be very grateful if you could assist.

Many thanks in anticipation :thumbsup:

It’s definitely off center. I was going to put a gen datewheel in sooner or later.

Was same on my QC pics. However I approved as 11 looked okay. Think it is like that on all.

GingerBubba The 27th is one of 3 or 4 dates that are off center. The rest are pretty good. I took a look at my other VSF’s and the 27th seemed okay. My eyes aren’t great anyway and nobody I know grabs my wrist and pulls it up so they can check out the center ness of my date wheel but now I know not to go out on the 27th with this watch.
Here are some shots

Meant LN and LB of course....

On another note I can tell you that the lume on the Smurf actually lasted until morning and it was still very good :)

The LB is definitely something I cannot wait to see. I held off on the ARF version although it looks pretty damn good.

I think the trouble was that I'm used to seeing photos of all the wonderful watches in this thread (because you guys take pics of the watch looking at it's best understandably), so I'd not really seen a picture of an off centre date wheel. Then all of a sudden I get my QC pics and the bloody thing looked dreadful - but in hindsight, I was ONLY shown pictures of 27th - if they'd shown me a different date (which no doubt would have been fine), I probably would have accepted it immediately!

pretty nice move of the TDs showing the 27th knowingly that's the worst date, always had the impression they try to hide things. Makes me less distrustful from now on :D
