Is the 6'oclock marker off center or is that just me/lighting?
Damn it Mech, those pics are almost pushing me to place an order... is the movement the usual noisy 9015?
The lightly used strap I managed to get hold of in preperation needs something to go on
Talking about the strap, how is the rep one? If its good enough, I may stick this in the for sale section.

Yeh the strap is crap. Think mine is already cracking lol. On the wrist the strap doesn’t look too bad actually. Maybe a little too shiny but a watch like this really wants a decent strap.
Movement is almost dead silent....not usual loud miyota crap.
Here are some iPhone macros:
As you can see the markers cast a shadow on the dial (eg. 6oclock marker): this can sometimes cause the markers to look misaligned.
Overall I am extremely impressed with the quality. Even the hour marker and hands are nicely polished...they don’t appear to have the usual finger-prints/smudges I see on reps under macro shots.
Don’t hold back guys. You won’t regret this. It’s certainly worth trying out.

from ziczacleather.com He´s in Vietnam and has a lot of Croco Straps on his site and also does every custom strap you want. Will let you know how the quality is when
it arrives - maybe 10 days
Super interested in your review of the strap, if its good its a bargain at those prices!
yes will post Pics and a review of it. Have a second strap within the Order for my IWC. If it´s truely good and the colour is not coming off after short time it is a real bargain !!!

Interested in this too. I previously had a strap made out in Vietnam for an IWC. The leather quality was good but the stitching let it down. I look forward to your review
Dude, QC pics are the place to point out defects, not after a member just received his watch. On the picture, put a straight edge (white card, paper towel edge, envelope) from the middle of the 12 hour indices through the hands post and then to the 6 hour marker and answer your own question without panicking an otherwise happy customer. No need to be a bringer of bad news to a celebration.
Mech's watch is beautiful and as straight as they come, but what if it WAS off? You just knock the wind out of a guy. Seen this happen too much.
Interesting, while I don't necessarily agree with this perspective, if that is the general sentiment on the forum I will be careful going forward. I was under the impression that that was the point of this forum and we were all here to give feedback and learn regardless of where people are in their rep purchasing process.
Anyway, I appreciate you sharing that perspective as I'm still new here and learning.
the stitching looks perfect on the pics he sent me! And yes, i asked specific for the curved ends - He did a 1:1 to the JLC strap. same size, thickness, curved ends etc.
21/18 -- Black / Padding: 2,5mm all the way, 120/75 length, curved ends,
