A brand new watch with paint specks chipping off and landing on the dial in unacceptable.
Chrono hand is not off it’s the angle.
Clearly a small flock of paint came of the center near the post and ended on the dial. It’s not luminova.
As for it being worthy of replacement????
Either way you are entitled to your opinion, but it is unrealistic nonsense. If you buy a watch like this and are not happy you should not buy it. Return it, but don't buy another, this is the not tool/hobby for you. Get a G-shock and move on.
Sorry I may be somewhat uneducated in this but feel if you spend this amount on a watch you should be 100% happy. Outside of these forums this is an incredible amount for a wristwatch, no matter how small the "flaw"
Now that I understand the question, it's clear enough ... but totally absurd. Can we refer these posts to watchuseek by any chance?
I've been curious about the origin of these kinds of pejorative digs at WUS here, because I don't ever recall seeing anything comparable on WUS about OF. I'm not asking that rhetorically, either; it's just something I wonder about every time I notice it.
I'd return it. And bring a loupe when picking up the replacement.
I understand that a $5000 watch is maybe $500 in parts and labor, and $2500 in distributor and dealer markup. But why can't some of the other $2000 be spent on a $200/hour person going over it with a loupe for 20 minutes, have a nice espresso, and then come back and do it again? I guess unfortunately I know the answer to the question, but is that really too much to ask?

This would be the second watch returned. At what point does the AD say , That's enough?
or another point might be, at what point might the buyer say, "may these high priced watches don't meet my standards and I should talk to Apple?
I am sorry but the Ad Hominem Apple watch comment is just pointless. I have every right in the world to buy whatever watch I like and ask any question about it. Why does it annoy you so much that someone asked a question about a concern? I am new watch owner who has no experience in this game. My expertises lays elsewhere and maybe one day if we cross paths in those areas I certainly would go out of my way to be more courteous and more helpful to you.
. Very naughty.
