Not all the "10" markers are crooked, but that, along with misaligned date wheels are the most common problems. It seems like some buyers are holding off for a V2 version to come out.

Does look slightly crooked too, but not as bad as some.

Seems like the crooked "1" in the "10" marker is a common issue. I have rejected 3 watches with the same problem and I am close to giving up until they improve the quality control. I am sure it can be fixed as they are only glued to the dial, but a pain to have to do it on a brand new watch. 

Such bad luck. Very frustrating situation, especially given the circumstances of the watch.

Stunning build.....as ever! Non finer.

One of the very best. Very jealous!!!

A true classic Omega. Looks great.

I really like the jubilee bracelet. That insert looks great too. Very nice build. A watch to be proud of!

Quite a few flaws it seems.

I have the BP version. Had the CG's trimmed, installed a gen crown and a relume. The insert on it is not as good as the new one, but I still prefer the quality the BP seems to have over the new J12 one.

Truly a great build. With the noob case it will be stunning. Congrats.

Do not expect to see those watches again. I had over 30 stolen a couple of years ago including 4 gens. Insurance paid out on the gens only, as expected. 

Loving the blue dial. I like the white day and date wheels too. Hope they rep it soon.

Not good.......complete fantasy IWC. Where did you get it?

The SEL gap on the top looks a little too large to me......otherwise very nice.

Looks good. Enjoy it and screw the addiction!

I hope this is replicated soon........looks stunning!

I once had the silver sunburst dial version on a gen IWC strap. It is a very classy dress watch but it always seemed to wear small even for a 39mm. I have a 7.5" wrist and it always seemed lost. I have the FA Jones and a IWC Vintage that seem to fit me better. Try and find some wrist shots to see how it looks to you. Otherwise it was a really good rep, with a nice quality look and feel.

Both look good. Keep them both, otherwise you will regret it.............

I would recommend staying away from BP watches right now. Even my TD is advising the same. I've had 2 recent BP movements coming in looking like this!!

Yikes.........is that rust? What a mess. Thanks for the heads up. Which TD advised you?

Great build using all the good parts. Enjoy it!

Nice build, looks great.

The smurf blue gen ceramic insert is a very rare item. Many a gen owner would also like one to turn their sub into a shark. Never seen one for sale. I suspect it would fetch a high price.

Post the QC pictures when you have them and you will receive plenty of helpful advice. A thread on Repgeek has also been started about the inaccuracies of the V3.
