That is not crooked. Firstly you won't notice that on the wrist, secondly since this is a rep there will be next to none that will have perfect markers. Yours is a superb one, you won't find a better one. You could ask for one, but the next one might be even worse.

It's so difficult to judge the markers on the Pelagos because they're square-shaped and reside in those chapter ring indents. At one angle some will look wonky and at another angle others will look wonky.

Hi All,
haven’t been around in a while and getting back into watches...I pulled the trigger on the new v5. I have the QC and seems the 11 and 5 markers are off a bit...thoughts? Could it be the camera angle?

perfect QC.

The biggest flaws I noticed is the to deep date window and the bezel is in comparison to the gen completely loose and way to easy to rotate. the real bezel locks at 12 o clock and is more difficult to adjust

It is real titanium but I doubt it’s high grade as it’s quite soft. Buffs up nicely though. Biggest flaw is the depth of black colour on the bezel. It appears too grey in bright light. I’ve acquired a brand new gen bezel so I’ll compare next week when it arrives.

My new sealed gen bezel assembly arrived today. I sourced a gen assembly as the tinted charged lume in daylight annoyed the hell out of me. Hard to show in a pic as my iPhone camera adjusts the white balance. It does show in a side by side pic though as the gen remains nice and white in most light conditions whether indoors or outdoors.
This is the V2 gen insert which has smaller thinner digits which is actually prefer. Overall finishing is nicer on the gen assembly and the edge profile is better too. Triangle is smaller on the gen and the full light colour of the black insert is just a bit richer on the gen too. I’ll take some pics of the watch tomorrow as it’s nearly dark here now.
Here are some side by side pics. Gen always on the left as I’m sure you’ll notice.

Interesting to see the difference in digits and markers
