ZF Inscription Error - P.3000 - should I be concerned?

[up_right]

Hello,

I just got these pictures today. I already asked the TD to change the watch once. About two weeks after rejecting the first watch, they sent me the new QC pics, but they turned out to be similar QC pictures of what appears to be the same watch.

The photos of the watch on the TD website do not have this error.

Should I refuse this watch or am I being too picky?

Also, is the deformed 4 an optical illusion or an error?

Finally I decided to reject the watch ( PAM 448 ZF V2 ). The TD told be that it is impossible to change the movement, but possible to change the dial. ZF will have to deal with a batch plates with these ugly inscriptions.

The TD has agreed to change my order to a different watch.

Honestly, the dial I can understand. But print quality on these PAM rep movements with these plates aren't exactly works of art. I don't even see what the issue is. Is it the ) in ( 21 ) coming too close to the J in JEWELS? That a non-issue for me, but things like that can be subjective.

Too picky.

I spoke with the TD to arrange to ship the 448. Looking forward.

I must be blind because I am not seeing what the problem is with the 4

If you zoom in enough you can see it. But if you can't see it on a picture that simulates the watch 6 inches from your face, would anyone else even notice it at an arm's length?

This thread is really about my OCD QC, that I may be able to cure with a strong dose of psilocybin mushrooms. Working on it. #thanksforyourpatience

With your extreme case of OCD, I'm surprised you're still in the hobby. :lol:

I consider it therapy: ''How to move forward in life with so many imperfections''... isn't that what we all need to learn at some point?

*looks at SOTC* I think I need to unlearn it.
