My first shitter maybe my last rep
to;dr - I am a newbie and bought a shitter; do all TDs know they are selling you crap; OBTS
This is my second purchase in a month from a TD (not making them) as well as my second purchase of a rep ever. I have a number of gens but have really become cynical about the industry and decided to give reps a try. I did so because I believed in the hype of the “near” quality as well as the thought of owning a well functioning and beautiful time piece at a fraction of the cost.
So, above is what I received today. I take this one on the chin because I noticed both issues in the QC pics but ignored them. The 12 o’clock lume I thought I could live with but the real issue, the bezel marker offset at 30 on is killing me. I am sure there are more with this watch but I don’t want to look any more as it will just continue to piss me off. The lesson here, if the QC pics show something is off it’s off. Don’t blame the angle. The next lesson, the TD doesn’t give a shit. He is looking for a GL or a RL. TD will sell you a shitter 10X a day.
Sorry for the rant but my question is, do the TDs have watch in hand and are they looking at it? I just want to confirm that they know they are selling you a piece of shit. I had 6 other reps I wanted to buy (yes, I got the bug from the first watch I bought that was flawless) but now I think I may be done and enjoy what I have.
