Don't worry about that. And don't live only in Rep world.
Study some Gens and you will notice some will have the same "flaw" lool

Hey guys. Got my QC’s they look super great apart from this thing that concerns me.. it’s some king of chip on the bezel teeth. You think it may be polished or redone or something?

Would appreciate help

Yeah I’m prolly overreacting at this point lol. Thanks tho. I know that gens bezel tends to tilt half minute left with usage so I guess it’s not a big deal at all

Hi guys. Any tips on how to resize the bracelet? (Aside from going to the watchsmith). Screw seems too tough.

Watchsmith/DIY same principle. However you need a very good screwdriver.
Lay bracelet flat on a piece of cloth (flat in the sense of standing up showing the screw pointing upwards)
Dont try this in your hands it will lead to the screwdriver slipping and damaging the screw
Insert good screwdriver into screw and put pressure onto it from the top with index finger.
With a positive attitude, turn screw counter clockwise until loose

All you will need to do is soften the thread-locker adhesive in some boiling water first and then follow the above instructions. Even rep factories use it nowadays!

In my experience with really stiff screws the most important thing is a really well fitting screwdriver, particularly in thickness as well as width.

I had real trouble with a GMF GMT and tried all sorts of things...heating, oil etc but once I had well fitting screwdriver it was quite easy.

You want a proper tipped screwdriver or you mark the screw heads. Hollow point I think it's called where it's a thicker tip

I have green light this watch, to my eyes it looks good, anyone care to give it the once over? To be clear I am keeping this watch, the only reason I ask is so if I've missed something I can train my eyes for future purchases....thanks for your time!

Hunterdude looks crisp and clean my dude.

I wouldn't be asking if you're happy though. I'm sure someone can find something and then you won't unsee it!

Just wondering, can the rehaut be actually adjusted by Watchsmith? I mean, if it’s possible, then it’s just a small concern aye?
