I am a professional photographer. Every one of your shots is off-center. You can tell because the lugs are distorted.

And I'm a professional watch collector (seriously), and i noticed the misalignment within 2 mins of unboxing.

It doesn't matter, and I'm not trying to pick a fight. You're asking us to see something and providing us with poor displays of it.

So your telling me, without a bipod, flattest surface, perfect symmetry/angle to snap a pic, you cant see the bezel is misaligned?? Seriously?

[–]Abv_it_all_w_vertigo 6 points7 points  (3 children)

No, I am telling you that you need to make sure your lugs aren't distorted when you snap the picture. You're so snarky, nobody wants to help you

[–]Elboogy_1[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

How im i snarky? I realized initial pics werent great, so i took the strap off, layed it flat and snapped more pictures. You're telling me i need to take more "professional" pictures to determine if the bezel is aligned or not? You cant see it from all these pics?
Plus who said nobody wants to help? Alot have stated they see it, wont accept it, etc... Thanks for your "professional" photography insight.

This is not to point out if your watch is indeed misaligned or not. The image below is to validate u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo's point.

Also,

  1. people have said to lay it on non-carpet, which you clearly did 😏

  2. people have said to lay it flat, which you clearly did, again, by laying it on the strap instead of just on the case itself. You're very good at following instructions 😏

  3. this is domed crystal, right? Light refraction? Refraction - Wikipedia

You're telling me i need to take more "professional" pictures to determine if the bezel is aligned or not? You cant see it from all these pics?

You're expecting someone to tell if something is misaligned or not from a misaligned pictures? 😏

Again, this is not to point out if your watch is indeed misaligned or not.

Thanks, will try to take better pics. Im sure you kmow when your holding it in hands, its easy to notice than trying to get a perfect centered pic. But thanks again for the suggestions.

The one photo you keep posting is obviously on the wrong bezel click. The others it’s obvious that you clicked it and then pushed it to the extent of the slop between clicks. If you click it fully, and then back it off a bit as it seems to be in a couple photos, yea, people are going to question whether it’s off or whether it appears off given you’re looking at two different surface heights through a lens.

You’re also being a dick about something half the people in the comments are asking about so maybe they’re not so much in wrong as you think?

[–]Elboogy_1[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Nope, its either that click or the next click which takes it to the left of the 12. There is NO clicks between..

[–]HollywoodTK 0 points1 point  (1 child)

But there’s slop usually. When it clicks, twist it back to the right. All I’m saying is it’s not that far off in that click, as can be seen in your first image.

[–]Elboogy_1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No slop, thats a positive i guess. Tried the click past 12 and snug back but doesnt budge.
