QC HELP, Need doctors to examine condition.

[folex]

Hi guys, purchasing a Pam029 and 318 Noob factory. Just got the QC pictures, I want to make sure they are fine.

The 029 seems alittle off for the magnifying glass, and also the 6 and 18 looks like theres something there and the paint is not right? I'm not too sure, can you guys help me spot if there's anything wrong anywhere?

Any input would be great, in return I'd do a comparison of Gen vs Rep croc strap if one hasn't already exist.

Thanks guys.

Also is the lume on the pam029 off? The hour hand and minute hands have different lumes?

318 looks pretty sweet.

029 - shape of the lever is funky, crown touches the case. But that's not QA issue. I think that's how that rep is made. It's still a cool rep

Crown does not touch the case it's the odd angle of the picture

Both look fine

So I asked my TD (Toro) for a different one because of the lume, for those who havent noticed the difference, and he gave me this one. This looks good to me, but I am bothered by the chip on the 6. Anyone else seeing this, or finding this a problem? My TD said theres no perfect Pam029, Im not sure If I am being too meticulous and idealistic, or if he just doesnt have the right batch of pam029's lol.

Anyone could help me out here?

Thanks

I wouldn't except it. What you should understand is if you don't buy it he can't return it to the factory so he will sit on it and resale it to someone who isn't as anal or maybe a noob. Don't settle or you will not be happy! I only deal with Andrew at trusty time and he sends out close to perfect reps. No issues as of yet.
