Hi All,
Been a lurker for a few weeks so apologies that my first post is a question instead of an introduction!
Just purchased my first high grade replica, I chose the 500m because I have always wanted a TAG since I was a little boy, and I liked the idea of the swiss movement at a price that seemed reasonable.
After an agonising and exciting wait I received my watch this morning from a trusted dealer on this fantastic forum.
I love it, i really do but I have a small issue and I don't know what to do about it.
The quality of the rep is excellent, but the TAG emblem on the face of the watch is very slightly off-centre, I have massive OCD when it comes to symmetry and this will really sour my experience. It wasn't evident from the QC pics because they were not taken perfectly straight on.
I really do not know what to do now, I am not one for complaining and I am really pleased with the service I got from this dealer, and I also cant face having to wait another month to finally wear it. I don't think I can live with the fault though. There is also one other very minor flaw in that the Tag Heuer embossed font on the internal movement appears to have bled very slightly and looks scruffy. I can live with this as it's not going to be in my face 24/7. Plus If I want 100% perfection I need to spend the real money on a Gen :-)
The way I see it I have 3 choices.
1) Live with it (Can't do that) - I know it's a rep but it was still nearly £230 including postage so I should be happy with it right?
2) Get it fixed here in the UK by a specialist (best option if it wont cost alot of money, any suggestions who?)
3) Complain and send it back for a replacement which will take weeks :-(
Your assistance and expertise on the matter would be gratefully received. Thank you, Ben
