CokeSmurf Posted May 13, 2013 Report Posted May 13, 2013 Way off, like pretty much all the other reps.
Mike on a bike Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 Need to see straight on with 30 at bottom to see how it lines up. The 45 at 9 is not helping per steel because of angle.
ZedWings Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 I've noticed something with a lot of reps, that either the pearl is oversized or the triangle is undersized. On the gen, and some reps I've seen, there is a larger gap between the edge of the pearl and the edge of the triangle. I noticed this on my QC pics, and mentioned it to Andrew, but he told me that's just how it was, and that I could either accept it or cancel my order. Strange that I saw a rep on this site that was also from TT, and had a very good pearl with acceptable gaps.
cougar1 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 It seems all the 42mm black bezel CPO reps and the LM 45mm reps have pearl a little lowish, some better than others. The 45mm are better and the pumpkin also. You might get a little better if you reject and reject but unlikely. I seriously hope noobs upcoming releases of these Ceramic POs deal with the location of the pearl once and for all.
indywatchguy Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 Its a scam by the Chinese to keep us rep ocd geeks hooked on the dream of a perfect rep. Which will never exist not because they can't but won't.
tyrantblade Posted May 17, 2013 Report Posted May 17, 2013 looks horribly low, and i thought the pearl on my incoming Ceramic PO was bad enough (its higher up than that at least).
fraggle42 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Posted May 17, 2013 Looks fine to me.I mean, unless you carry round a loupe and use it to read the time from your watch every single time, you're never, ever going to notice its off by 0.2mm.And remember that when you get it and check it very carefully, you'll see it then, but after half an hour wearing a new watch I completely forget minor thing like that as I'm enjoying just looking at the watch as a whole, a very pretty, very nice, new and shiny thing!Richard
scotty Posted May 18, 2013 Report Posted May 18, 2013 Some dealers getting annoyed when you reject qc pics for the pearl position. When i bought my Ti there a moment of conflict and i was told the order would be cancelled!
agantz Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 I've seen a gen with a pearl that wasn't centred perfectly. That's more than acceptable in my opinion for a rep
