Interesting to know would be if VSF takes a gen SEL, despite how onerous it might be.
Am I crazy or is my 12 and 6 marker crooked?

The face looks off, but I can't put my finger on what exactly.
Also, what do you guys think of this lume? The hands look so dim compared to the markers

The numerals look good to me.
The triangle might look a little misaligned, but I'm pretty sure it is because of the angle.
I would accept it.
Hi folks,
This is my second rep purchase so still relatively new to this. My first was spot on but I've just rejected this one on the basis that the pearl does not look centred to me:
I also wasn't sure on the omega logo as it looks like it's sat higher on the left than the right.
Am I just being too picky here? The TD disagreed and refunded me immediately.
Thanks

Agree with the pearl it is way off, and logo does look tilted but could be the angle...IMO right to reject. Out of interest which TD.
Thank you, I appreciate knowing an experienced member sees the same issue!
This was from Tony so a little disappointed he didn't agree as I've ordered from him previously. I won't let this put me off and will reorder from another TD.
I spotted the issue on the original QC photo below and asked for the better picture I originally posted before rejecting.

You're Saying I Can Sell?
Too picky? We could discuss for eons about that... and you could read dozen of threads about the argument...
My short opinion? for being a rep it looks good, because it's almost the best they can do... QC pictures should spot production problems, but always related to a REP, we shouldn't forget it...
I got the very same model from MK factory, and a GMT from VSF... I never checked the watches to that level, with magnifying pictures or side by side comparison with gen pictures... to me, anything that cannot be spot with naked eyes is just a detail, a curiosity, nothing more. My opinion, of course!

I know.
This is the 43.5mm version.
Just put this here because this is an official image that o took from Omega's website.
And even there the watches aren't perfect.
With that I meant to say that you guys shouldn't be so picky with your QC's.
Even Gen pieces can have flaws.

Put Some Respect On My Name
it's known that even gens have flaws, but that guy had every right to reject since the pearl is blatantly off centered, and the 12 and omega logo are tilted
See this one.

I do see your point mate, but that pearl is night and day compared to the one I rejected in my opinion.
Completely understand that they're going to have flaws, but my eye was drawn to it immediately (and the crooked omega logo) so was a little shocked the TD couldn't see it.
I've reordered the same watch so look forward to accepting and getting one of these beauties delivered! It's replacing a noob version with the silver numbers so look forward to seeing how it compares.

I understand (and I wasn't talking about anyone in particular) but it can be the angle of the photos sometimes.
You have every right to refuse the watch but I've been seeing some guys refusing a watch by nothing at all (some QC's even looked perfect to my eyes).
I was just showing that even GEN watches, even on the website promotional pictures, can have little flaws.
You know how the quality control is made at Omega (and on almost every swatch group brands)?
You check the watch naked eye, holding it at 30cm from your eyes.
If you can't spot the flaws by then you release the watch to be wrapped and sent to the distributor.
These QC pictures are much closer than 30cm to the naked eye.
You can always spot more defects (a lot more) with a picture.
Every watch product photo has to go to Photoshop to remove imperfections that you can see on the picture but not in real life
Cheers
