QC Issues with Tudors
Went out shopping for a Tudor BB Black this past weekend. In all four (across two ADs) that I examined, there was a quite obvious QC issue - two had misaligned bezels, two had lume bubbles (one on the snowflake hour hand, another on an hour plot). These weren't issues I needed my loupe to see. They were able to be seen with the naked eye.
I'm not sure what the issue is here. Me or the watch. As a collector of AP and FPJ, are my standards out of line with something at the price point of a Tudor? Maybe. But then again, I also *love* my Speedy Pro, and have a few Hamilton Field Khakis that are pretty darn good. And heck, I even collect some G Shocks! Before I get the "never look at a modern Rolex under a loupe" responses, as I said above, these were issues that I could see with the naked eye (although I did pick up on them with the loupe). Is this just a game of hunting to find the right one? Am I on a fool's errand? Am I just plain crazy? |
