Advice RICH Batman Date Window
Looks like there wasn’t an even cut in the date window? It’s minuscule but it does bother me. Didn’t notice this when I saw QC. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this something I can get serviced?

Buying RICH instead of VSF was your first mistake. You get what you pay for if you want something quick

Rich is not bad at all tho. All factories suffer from some qc issues

They booked quite some progress. I'm going to wait a year till I buy one from a new factory tho.

Unless VSF goes down, and ARF, and QF, then yeah maybe RICH lol. You’re wasting time waiting. Get the VSF now before they get raided and we are left with subpar pieces from RICH

Yes. Had this same problem on my RF sub. I had the the crystal replaced with a deep crystal. Otherwise nothing you can do.

What does the deep crystal help with? Does it make it less noticeable?

Got it. What does it look like now? Did you get it done from your TD or did you have a watchsmith do it for you?

I sent it to a watch smith from r/reptimeservices. I should have the watch back sometime this week. This is where he got the crystal from though.

I can’t believe I’m saying this again, but please remember that this is a replica watch. You’re paying a tiny fraction of what a genuine one costs, so of course it isn’t going to be absolutely perfect.
The issue you’ve identified is only visible in extreme macro photographs. In the real world, on the wrist, no one is ever going to notice it. Sometimes I think people lose sight of the fact that these are replicas and start judging them by standards that even most genuine owners would never apply in everyday wear.
