fitipaldi Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I ordered one too from Andrew. I received his QC pics and I realized the red markers were overprinted (on the silver ring) in the 12' subdial. Andrew sent me pics for a replacement and it has the same issue. The factory said him all the bacth presented this problem. Now I'm waiting QC of the new Grey Themes version. I suggest you to ask QC pics to your dealer.

eunomians Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Interesting news. Looks like I will wait to order both the Silver Themes and Grey Themes until the QC is worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitipaldi Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Ok, I received a QC pic of the Grey Themes: The watch looks pretty good. The bezel screws are missaligned but the watch will be sent inmediatly to Francisco for a full treatment (service+lume) and he will take care to install properly the screws.

Why would you go for a lume job? The gen doesn't have any..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo22 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 The QC on all the bezel screws are really bad, esp the one at two o'clock, doubt they could be fixed as it is a manufacturing gap and fit issue rather than a installation issue.

djscotie Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Dont worry about the bezel screws, what you are seeing there is the rubber o-ring. My silver themes arrived like that and now its perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sander Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Actually the OEM does have black lume as does the silver theme version. Yes, there is black lume!! I know there is black lume but I checked one a few weeks ago at my AD and there wasn't much lume on it. No glow at all, not even when I hold it under the light for more than 10 seconds. Also my gen navy dial does not have lume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
