I just got my Tag Link Chrono from Perfect-Hour.com after reading some stellar reviews and hearing that it's a true "super rep".
Here's a few things that I immediately noticed, and keep in mind I'm far from an expert, this is my first "good" rep.
There's no AR coating on the crystal in spite it being advertised as so.
The dial is missaligned, the second hand when reset to 12:00 isn't centered on the 12:00 marker, and the date window is also a little out of line.
Some of the links on the bracelet grind, I've never handled a gen, so this might be normal.
The crown/stem have a remarkably cheep feel to them, when unscrewed to adjust time there's a lot of play, the crown wobbles around. And when fully screwed in the logo on the crown isn't lined up straight. The play in the crown/stem also makes screwing it back in kind of tricky cause it wants to go in on an angle and cross thread. I was pretty surprised by this because the cheap Submariner rep i bought in an ally in Shanghai for $45 is much better in this regard.
What do you guys think of this? I could let everything else slide but I'm pretty chapped about there being no AR, thats a dead giveaway and false advertising.
I'll post some pictures later when I got time.
