Shocker: IWC poor QC

[Cromag]

Traveling to Calgary this week I decided to stop in at the local AD to get a first hand look at the IWC Mark XVII. First of all the watch is a beauty and I really like it a lot as the 41mm size does fit nicely on my 6.4" wrist -especially with the bracelet. The high contrast dial is super easy to read which makes the IWC Pilot watches so distinctive among all other watches out there. Here's a pic;

Unfortunately the 12 o'clock marker on this particular GEN was misaligned. More noticeable in person. I'm still shocked, as I was expecting perfection from a Swiss Made watch, -especially one from Switzerland.

Fear not my rep friends. Getting called out is practically impossible with poor QC of some IWC watches. I noticed the second-hand on the 3878 was also slightly misaligned.

Can hardly wait for Angus to get the next version XVII at PT. hopefully with bracelet. THAT is a must-buy rep for me

Oh IWC have often poorly done their QC work on their gen products. I used to work for an AD ages ago and jeez they are often extremely shi^. But the watches look so damn good!!
