That’s really nice that is. Can I ask where you got it from? How do you feel it compares to gen?

Cheers guys never really been into tags until recently first dip into them.

 

Got it off Andrew at trusty time great service although any of the TD's can get it. Feels great on the wrist although i've tried on a fair few gen Tags i have never tried this one on but as ive said feels solid good weight to it ect.

On the whole it’s a very nice looking watch and appears very close to gen. the bezel appears misaligned though, wonder if that can be adjusted like the seamaster bezels. May have to get myself one of these. 2823 eta?

On the 12,6,9 markers the line is through the middle not 1/3 like the gen.

 

It's a minimal flaw that is not really an issue, but I'm off the disposition it world drive me nuts as the rep is so good

The bezel insert is off mate. The metal "bit" on the bezel should be at 1,5,7,9 and 11 but on yours they are at 2,4,6,8 and 10 like on the 21j one above and here

You will prob have to heat the bezel up slightly and try and slide it around

Wow! Thanks for pointing that out. I have one of these on order from TD (41mm) version  and I would probably not have known to check for this.

Again, thanks for this. From what I can see on TD sites  of the 41mm rep version (by V6 factory), this flaw is not present. Can someone confirm?

Genius

There is nothing actually wrong with the bezel, rotate the photo 90 degrees ;)

 

Just the guys who assembled them don't know which way to put the insert and obviously think tabs at the top looks best. If enough people complain or reject QC pics it'll get fixed
