Looks alright to me IMO.

The markers at 12 looks a little off. But I must say I never saw a watch what is 100% perfect at those 12 markers. Further the watch looks good to me!

My markers at 12 looked a little off in my qc pics, but in person not so much...and looks just like yours. Looks good.

Thank you for the advise. Just to be sure its aligned i rejected the pics and requested for another one. I also noticed that the 9 and 3 marker lume on the internal bezel is a little flaky.

Will update once i get the qc of the new watch.

This is the latest qc pics that i have. Is it better than the first one?

Thanks in advance.

I would have taken the first one.

This new one looks worse, the triangle lume is really bad.

[diver19]

its really now a dilemma.  if you were in my shoes would you just get the first one and sacrifice the alignment of the marker at 12 or would you go for the 2nd one which is aligned but has worse lume and just probably have it relumed in the future?  Other than the lume at night glowing, is there any other issues that you can see from the 2nd one?  Anything sloppy compared to the first?

 

Again I appreciate all your feedback before I give my go ahead.  Thanks!

The first one was a go for me, but this second one is not. Also look at the markers at 1 and 2, they're a bit off. And the lume on the triangle looks bad. I'd reject and asked for the first one. Good luck!

Man, you guys are picky:)

[diver19]

Agree on the first one...bezel alignment and recessed screws look better.  To be honest you'll love either or when received...its an amazing rep!

[indywatchguy]

It's a rep there will always be something. I'd go for the first one! Enjoy to the max!

[diver19]

Well unfortunately the first was sold so had to settle with the 2nd one. But no worries i love the watch really good details they did here other than the lume it can really pass as gen.

Here are some shots:

Hey diver, how is the movement on this one, what movement did you go with? I want my next rep to be an AP but I am reading that a lot of the AP's have movement issues down the road.
