Is the 6'oclock marker off center or is that just me/lighting?

Mine is straight. Check your QC pics but be careful....the markers cast a shadow on the dial, so at some angles/lighting the markers can look misaligned .... but it’s just the lighting and 3D shaped markers casing Shadows.


Look at the hands: wow

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.

From what others have said it seems the strap is the usual rep crap.

News from Lucy, apparently the second batch for the silver one will come before the black one.

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.

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.

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

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,

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.

Some people do get their knickers in a twist over what other people think of the watch they just bought. Personally i don't give a Monkey's left testicle what anyone else thinks about a watch I have bought, so long as i like it. :)

thanks for your opinion. I think we all have the right to tell something to discuss about the product, if there is something to tell about the flaws, rather than hiding them, if we find something or flaws, even after receiving the product. It is not personal. It is about the product quality and to know/find some differences between the batches of each production.
