Help on QC

Recommended Posts

nickee_2dS

Hello guys!

RM88 sent me the link of the QC pictures. It seems to me that the notches aren't spaced correctly (have irregular distances).

What do you think?

He's right, but you will never notice it without a magnifying glasss, don't worry about it. It will be the same on all the watches, since it is a dial design issue.

I think the consensus is it is a flaw that is too minor to notice on the wrist :P

 

Given they are, what, half a mm apart? If anyone can see that from 4 feet away while you're moving your hands about and talking, they've got better eyes than most...

 

Accept it, accept the flaw (all reps have at least one, it's part of the charm! :P) and enjoy it for being a great value piece that looks lovely :P

Its a subliminal barcode

 

Flip it under the supermarket checkout scanner and you get a big discount

OMG!

 

Nitpicking over a few lines, i would be more concerned with the movement, datefont, wrong pushers and weight of the watch

 

This is a Quartz!

Blow any photo up to that of virtually any watch and it will look to have something wrong.

Be happy with it or :P

Its NOT a design flaw!

 

The slide rule is intentionally divided irregularly to allow for different calculations to be made.

 

Here's the gen

For those REALLY interested here's a link to the original Navitimer Manual, which shows how every calculation required for making a flight plan can be accomplished with the slide-rule.

I know the OP is a noob - but seriously - did he not even google a pic of the gen to compare??

Sorry

 

 

But even my tired ole eyes can see that the rep's print aint as purrdy as the gen's

 

 

But in fairness the O.P. is just a product of the rep fora credo...

Very true - but I think given the subdial spacing its not really the flaw i'd pick on is it? I mean those markers are so tiny we're getting into "Crispness of Dial Printing" territory rather than a real innacuracy.

Frankly its all bollocks in my book

 

Right down to the imagined nonsense of any one pre flighting twiddling about with a watch (I have a pilots licence).

Yep, so I would not care about any flaws. It's just a sweet and reliable watch. Chances are that nobody ever notices it's a Breitling, so why bother...

If this watch is a quartz, then this is a hilarious thread. Guess someone missed the memo about qc pics :wave:
