Opinion needed on AP 15202 finish vs scratch
I slightly loathe myself for asking this question, but here goes anyway. I have been enjoying the 15202 that I bought about a month ago immensely. I absolutely am head over heels in love with it.
Because I am super OCD about QC issues (been burned in the past), I inspected the heck out of the watch before I actually paid for it at the boutique. Looked at the dial and movement under a high powered loupe. Everything is perfect. The other day I noticed that one of the "teeth" between the non-removable links had a "scratch" on it. I put scratch in quotes because I literally don't know how the heck it could have gotten there. It's only on the "tooth" - and not on the actual link - and I can still see the vertical finishing. But, I'm also aware of AP's stellar QC and how the bracelets are finished - by dragging it across the diamond sandpaper. Neither the link above or below it have this on it. In fact, it's not even the whole link... just the middle left portion of it. I'm 99.9% sure this is something that I did (grazed it on something) and that this is a true scratch. But the other 0.1% of me things it could be an issue with the finishing. I have to take the bracelet in to get an extra link added to it anyway. Should I just ask for a new bracelet, or am I being nuts, and once I wear it more it won't matter at all (it barely matters to me now). You can barely see it now. It's on the fourth tooth down on the bracelet on the left, and even then only in certain light if you are looking for it and the bracelet has no fingerprints on it. Pics: |
