I requested an exchange for another watch and they replied that they need to "ask the factory"..

Thank you for your replies! I hope VSF won't go down the famous "mass production drop in quality" road.. There were significantly less issues before the second batch was released.
Anyway, here's a close up shot of the pearl and the triangle, it looks a bit less dramatic, but still not quite right.

Mine looks very similar to yours under a macro lens. Personally, it's almost impossible to spot on the wrist even looking directly at it.

I had watches with misaligned pearls before and I DID notice it every single time I checked the time. I refuse to accept a watch with flaws, because I know there are good ones out there. They just have to put a little bit of effort in finding one. The money I transfered had no flaws. I checked. Twice.

Reality is, dealers just grab whatever they get their hands on. No matter what you tell them to look out for.

How are people finding the rep rubber strap that from vsf.

Mine exactly the same - it is bothering me. How much is a gen insert and can it be swapped in?

I've noticed in recent batches that the 1 in the 12 is taller than the 2.

Is it worse than this?

This was the one I rejected but to be honest the second one wasn’t great.

I know it’s small but it’s literally the one thing that bugs me.

Which TD sir? Same problem with mine. I guess all that's left are misaligned pearls?

Here is my pearl on the 42 mm VSF which I think is very good.
Probably the factory worker responsible for insert drilling was cross-eyed because the QC seem to differ a lot. :p

Maybe you TD have less stocks that's why he cant source you a better watch?

This is the replacement. They don't have the orange numerals version anymore.. :(
This one seems better, but the ring around the pearl appears to be massive.
Thoughts?

Just the lighting of the picture. I would accept it.

It is kinda crooked, isn't it?

12 is okay but the square shape marker above the 12 looks very tiny bit slightly tilted.

and what is the issues with the around of the pearl? it looks ok

and what does it mean “no more orange marker” ? sold out for temporary period? or no more production of it?
