vmsdisc Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Guys I notice on my unit where the CG is held in place by 2 screws . One of the screw hole it had a major sratches on the surface which I think cause while the factory try to drill hole .... Is this common on all REP on it only happen on the factory come from ???? Or it my unit tat hv this problem ?
rogerthat Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Should be easy enough to unscrew the 2 CG screws and remove the CG for a closer look
vmsdisc Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Posted March 28, 2012 Should be easy enough to unscrew the 2 CG screws and remove the CG for a closer look I manage to take a closeup pic of the CG and where the defect is . it the area where i circle with marking .. is this a common defect in a Rep or it my with the problem
Tom Hawkes Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 It's not a common defect. On another note: I-am-too-rich-to-work-fingernail and a rep Panerai. Hehe.
projectologist Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 It's any easy fix... easiest of course being when you close the lever you won't see it. But if it really bugs you, cut a strip of 320 grit wet/dry sandpaper just wide enough to fit and brush it down. Almost every rep you receive will have it's own manufacturing related issues, some immediately obvious as in your case, others manifest later... welcome to the world of reps

How cool is that for a vendor
lfovco Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Almost every rep you receive will have it's own manufacturing related issues, some immediately obvious as in your case, others manifest later... welcome to the world of reps That is so true!!!! It's probably even safe to say "every rep" without "almost"...

That is so true!!!! It's probably even safe to say "every rep" without "almost"... Agreed that Rep is not at par with Gen , as the price u paid for is only 10 % of real value, so what do i expect in quality ..but one eye see, can tell tat yr unit is REP tat is really a turn off
StormTooper4 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 Goodness I'd send it back thats disgraceful .......... seriously get a grip man, come on now if it bugs you so much ......... sorry but...............
rogerthat Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 No would see it I understand you know it is there but someone would have to pull up the lever and look inside to notice, no one is going to do that If the dealer is sending you a free replacement crown guard you should be all set Sell that one to me for $20 once you get the new one and you just profited for noticing this flaw
