I’ve had closer pictures and yes there is actually a little misalignment on the 12 markers. I’m waiting for a new model’s QC. Some of you will think it’s too slight to refuse the watch but it’s the only thing I see when I look at the dial..
Anyway, thanks for your advices !

As the saying about flaws goes, once seen it cannot be unseen, applies here. I think you did right.

Hi guys,

I’ve received my QC today. I just wanted to share it with you as I found the 12 hour marker seems misaligned.
What do you think of that ?





The index @ 6 is definitely misaligned n not the 12th.

Anyway overall is good n hope it is on its way to you. U r anal, just send to yr preferred WatchSmith n realign the index @ 6, and yr Anal itch will be eliminated.

if the difference in the lume bothers you wait until they fix it, because it can be seen from distance.

It doesn’t bother me but I do find the blue dial very dynamic n lovely.

I still wonder why the XF 15202 bezel screws are so poor when it's already been done on their forged carbon diver..

Lol, you can’t see it from 2 mt... you know, people has to complain for everything but the gen

Nope, i know it is a replica watch and there will be some flaws and i get it, but at that price point the difference in the lume is not acceptable.

I can’t stand looking at mismatching dial/hands lume. It just looks ugly and a complete deal breaker for me.

I don’t care whether others can see it from 2m or whatever but I can see it on MY own wrist and I personally can’t live with it.

Unfortunately A lot of reps have this issue, you may consider having the dial and hands relumed to match. Although, a lot of relume jobs I have see tend to come with scratched hands and hour markers - it’s hard to get crisp lume application by hand (at least the rep factories use precision machines for apply lume).

Anyways, there’s always something to complain about when it comes to reps! Suppose that’s part of the hobby.

TS station, non-TD, listed a new V2 on their site today. Do not order from this site, this is solely for discussion purposes. https://www.ts-stations.cn/mobile/goods.php?ProId=26891

I see no big difference and they don’t list the differences either. Lume maybe looks whiter but there’s still a difference in the colors between hands and dial. And the whiter color could just be exposure/lighting from the camera. Dial still looks super bad to me (grande tapisserie pattern still has a ways to go IMO).
