The_Proctometrist 16 Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) I am prefacing this by saying, i like them French-fried potatoes. mm-hm & I'm going to be patient and wait for the TD's response and will not act in a rash manner, even if the outcome is less than satisfactory. Has anyone ever had a TD send them QC pics of two obviously different watches. One pic of a pretty bad watch with odd coloured hands and a screw sticking out of the stem (mostly likely the watch that would be sent to me) and the rest of the pics of a very nice looking watch with no obvious flaws (possibly the QC pics sent to another customer at another time). I had this happen to me this morning. I emailed the TD and outlined my concerns with the watch in the first pic and circling the obvious differences between that watch and the watch in all the other QC pics minutes after I received from him. It's been several hours now and no response from the TD. Again, I have read all the TODO's and won't be rash, so don't worry. This can be a very trying hobby but I'm game for it. Just wondering if this has happened to someone else as well and if it's common mistake on the part of TDs?

FudgyDocker 3,424 Posted July 27, 2019 It's also the weekend, and would've been very late, Chinese time, when they got the email. I wouldn't worry about it just yet. Personally, I wouldn't expect a response until Monday. They are at least 12 hours ahead of US/Canada, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 21,682 Posted July 27, 2019 I'd be worried. This isn't a common mistake. Please let us (the forum) know the outcome of your inquiry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will let everyone know how it unfolds and happily eat crow if it turns out well...

The_Proctometrist 16 Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) The TD got back to me this evening and insisted that the QC pics were of the same watch and that the differences where due to glare from the camera. I pointed out differences that could not be due to glare and there was a fair bit of back and forth. In the end, I asked for another QC pic of the first pic which didn't match the others and he graciously agreed to send some more QC pics. I will keep you posted.

Mystery Shopper 5,878 Posted July 28, 2019 If it was an error, the TD should fix the pics, you then decide if you want to approve the QC & proceed with the sale. If not, I would be very interested to know what is going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given the circumstances should this be an occasion when exceptional Mod permission can be given to publish the QC pics so we can see for ourselves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure. I know RepGeek does have a forum that uploads QC pics for members to analyze for each other but I didn't do that. The TD did specifically ask not to upload them and I want to honour that. Perhaps waiting until the new QC pics are sent might be the way to go. However, I'm not willing to wait too long for these to be sent. Edited August 7, 2019 by mmjmmj i like them French-fried potatoes. mm-hm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
