Kal-el 0 Posted September 11, 2012 why dont you post your pictures in this topic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crusader 0 Posted September 11, 2012 I think you can post few pics here, there are people willing to help. Usually what you look for is if the hour markers are where they are supposed to be, hand in their position, no scratches on the crystal/case, dust on the dial etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 82 Posted September 11, 2012 re: logo. They're all like that. Looks fine to me. With regard to QC photos, worth reading this: http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=14317 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UmpaHimself 223 Posted September 11, 2012 Mine has a slight case of that but not enough to bug me. Ask for another one if it bothers you. Other than that looks great. Another problem is that sometimes the ink on the rotor is smeared but yours looks great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thunder92 0 Posted September 11, 2012 oh la la. Pretty. One on order too. Looks to be 2 different watches to me. The first pic emblem looks great. Might as well ask them about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted September 11, 2012 Same watch, look on hands - same time. Logo looks differently, because of light. Yes, slightly imperfect, but they're all the same. Won't bother me a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loonie 0 Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Ouch... The 05 and the 35 markers are misaligned from where I'm typing? 50 and 25 are looking a bit dodgy too... Being picky though... Edited September 11, 2012 by Loonie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherbert79 8 Posted September 11, 2012 Ive emailed M, said Im a bit concerned about the logo and could I have a close up pic!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherbert79 8 Posted September 11, 2012 Ouch... The 05 and the 35 markers are waaay misaligned from where I'm typing? 50 and 25 are looking a bit dodgy too... Im getting paranoid now!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherbert79 8 Posted September 12, 2012 Just spoken to M, he says that the logo comes like that from the manufacturer, im thinking its not too bad!!! Are the hour markers really that bad??? And would it make a difference? Sorry about all the questions, just want to make sure im getting a decent rep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted September 12, 2012 Compared to gen it is a little off, but not enough for it to matter to me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crusader 0 Posted September 12, 2012 I think you will be ok, lots of Carrera reps has that ''problem'' with logo. The thing is, there are so many details on this dial, it's hard to absorb them all when you have the watch on your wrist, so I think you will be ok. I have 21j Day-date and it looks great. You won't notice these small details once on the wrist, looking at this bright macro shots is a bit diffrent then having it in person Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sherbert79 8 Posted September 12, 2012 Crusader- is your logo the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crusader 0 Posted September 12, 2012 Here you go two fresh pics. My logo is pretty much the same, maybe a bit less defined, but I think it's basically same. The diffrence is, I payed around 100 $ for this one, it's 21j, not 7750 like yours. I say you approve it and have it send your way, it's not a big deal IMO, hardly noticable when on wrist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ 2 Posted September 12, 2012 I have this one (from MarvellousReplica). The only tells to the casual observer are the blue screws in the back (they all have these from what I have seen so far) and the watch is slightly thicker (ie deeper) than the Gen. The logo is barely noticeable... but on my model (7750) the logo looks great even under 2.5x loupes. Can't go wrong with this one, considering the gen is £2.5K + Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
