Guest REPPIN Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hey guys, I ordered an Explorer from Trusty a few days back, just got the QC pics and is it just me or does the font on the 3,6,9 look really off??? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REPPIN Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I mean, the positioning and everything looks good, but the ACTUAL FONT looks weird. Here is a gen picture for comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 What do you mean? Here is the gen (with a lot of photoshop to enhance the details): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REPPIN Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Like I said, maybe its just me. I have never seen this model in person and i was expecting the numbers to look more like the picture you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REPPIN Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 It doesnt look like the numbers are wide enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Like I said, maybe its just me. I have never seen this model in person and i was expecting the numbers to look more like the picture you posted. If you mean about shining, well that's a matter of light & reflection. When I ordered my Calibre de Cartier the pictures appeared to have the polished parts of the dial really bad, like brownish, but when it arrived it was really ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 While it's true that the angle of the watch has killed any reflections on the markers, I agree that it looks weird. The numerals just look blocky, and corners that should be gently rounded are angled sharply and, sometimes, at 90 degrees. There shouldn't be hard-edged rectangles within the loops of the '6' and the '9', for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Somehow they look weird to me as well. Maybe compare to the new super-rep (pricewise) of that model on TD´s sites or is it the $458 one - on Toros site looks almost the same with angled numbers but too small to see well.

thesheriff Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yeah, they don't look too good. The left hand side of the 9 and right hand side of the 6 are too square. Also, the internal angles are right angled instead of curved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bc1221 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 the 3 is all bent up imo. somethin about it doesnt look right at all. i got one of these for a friend not too long ago and theyre repped fairly well. TT seems to also use pretty crappy cameras sometimes when taking QC pics. i had to keep asking for better pics bc the "submariner" on the dial just looked all fuzzy and beat. after about 3 different tries, it showed up right and it was def just the picture. idk about this one though.. that 3 looks bent or something.

fraggle42 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 The font ain't right. Close, but not close enough. It would be OK if it was a $150 beater but not for anything that costs more. (and you could probably get something better for $150 to be honest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bc1221 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 i do believe there is a better rep of this. with the right (skinny) min hand. i think toro sells it. if i was getting a exp1 rep though, id go with the 36mm. its repped much better.

GenTLe Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Well, effectively this Noob one looks better: http://www.torobravos2014.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=39_144&product_id=1115 But give a look at the price... And Andrew don't have noob's ones and once you've your QC pics it means already ordered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REPPIN Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 YA I confirmed the QC pics, well see how it is when it gets here. 99% of the time they look way better in person. But it seems like everyone is in agreement that something looks off. Ill post up pics when I get them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpletiv Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 After that you ok'd it?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchbaria Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) All of this model of rep looks like this.....what's being described will be the same on this particular rep, so requesting a different watch isn't going to solve the problem..... This isn't what qc's are for......this is how complaints get started. Edited August 26, 2014 by mitchbaria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
