What to look for at QC Pics?

[instinct 0]

Hi, just ordered a few watches from Marvelous Reps..

 

This is my 2nd order in less than 1 mth from me entering the watch replica world! Ahh, it's like a virus that keeps spreading.. Tempting to buy every watch here!

 

Anyway, I have been sent QC pics by MR, however please help me what I actually need to look for.. Here's one of the watch IWC Portugese with 21J movement. Is there anything I should complain about?

 

 

ps. it's seems to be a very nice watch and can't wait to get it so soon

Just make sure everything looks ok, correct spec, no cosmetic flaws, etc..

 

I can't see anything obvious but don't know much about this model.

 

(Your pics are a tad large btw )

ahah.. yes it's so we can see his dirty fingers

 

By the way, I just realise it doesn't have screws on the lugs to change straps.. How do I change the straps on these models?

You need to get a dremel with a cutting disk on to change the bands cut them off then put new band on and tiig weld the bar back

Alternatively you can just use the spring bars and change the band

I just look for any obvious problems cosmetically. I thought same as you about what to look for. Back in 2006 no one did QC or photos!!

Pics are way too big for the board - please re-size to 950pix wide or less.

Enlighten me on the electronic measurement instrument shown in one photo

[KeNnY 29]

jdoe youw watch will gain 4 seconds per day on 270° angle, and it has got 21 600 Beats per seconds, because it is 21J Asian movement. The watch is in perfect condition, go pay for it so you can wear it sooner !

[greg_r 82]

Second and last time of asking. PLEASE RESIZE YOUR PICS TO 950px wide or less. What you are posting is way too big

You could just google image a real one and see how close the rep looks.. that's what I do

Not mine, but very nice specimen. My AP I already paid, just waiting for them QC photos from Mary before she ships.

 

The 270° angle refers to?

hi all,

 

The "W" on the rotor looks off center? That's just my two cents worth... Other than that it looks like a great rep :-)

 

I don't know this model well, but is it normal for it to have the one number blacked for the "10" and "11" numbers?

 

Cheers

Pics are resized.

Wow thanks for the replies..

 

You're quite right ipv.. The W seems a bit to the left, or rather the C is a bit to the right.

*great first post btw! and Welcome!

 

As for the numbering of "10", I think it's because of the light reflection, it is silver on other QC pic photos (I didn't post here).

 

 

As for the wrist bands I guess I'll just leave it as it is and take it as a good enough band. LOL

Thanks for resizing the images

 

As for changing the band, it's easy. You just need a springbar tool (you can use a small screwdriver, but it's easier with the right tool - you're less likely to scratch the lugs). The tip of the tool slides in between strap and lug and you simply compress the spring to pop the bar out of the retaining hole.
