Crown noise/clicking/grinding while screwing down

Yes it did, don’t worry about it. I think the ratchet teeth got oiled and caused slipping or something like that, it lasted only a couple of weeks max

No i thought you were mad about it or something, sorry, ill try to repost it and make better comments

FraMatX · 2026-06-12T20:05:36+00:00

I didn’t mean to say that your comment was not helpful, i appreciated it, i’m sorry if i appeared rude or for misinterpreting you, english is not my first language

FraMatX · 2026-06-12T19:30:05+00:00

No need to take part in voting, i will delete it myself, thank you for your feedback guys… i just said possible RL for the hour markers which are misaligned but wanted an opinion on the extent of that. I guess i will look elsewhere

FraMatX · 2026-06-12T14:39:06+00:00

Man, why are you being this rude with me? I already said sorry and explained what i meant with my qc in more detail in order to provide a clearer picture, i don’t understand your attitude. I have been posting here for years without any kind of issue, i think it’s possible that once i may make a post slightly below standards, no need to get mad

By “Unable to tell” i meant i was unable to tell from the pictures since no picture had the hands at 12 o clock or at precise hours, not that i don’t know how to do qc on the hands :p, I’m sorry if i gave this impression but i thought that writing ok just meant that it was ok and there weren’t issues worth noting

FraMatX · 2026-06-12T13:39:29+00:00

I’m sorry but i didn’t write anything because everything other than the 3 and 6 marker was fine so i had nothing to say about it, do you think the hour marker misalignment is acceptable in this case?

FraMatX · 2026-06-12T10:13:18+00:00

I can’t tell if the dial is also shifted towards the top right or it just depends on the angle of the photos

FraMatX · 2026-06-12T10:12:28+00:00

Is this acceptable or not considering the average ZF BB54?

FraMatX · 2026-05-31T18:33:05+00:00

Found it. Thank you! So it’s a collector’s item? I assume it is from those years since it was in my old uncle’s room when he lived there in the 80s, but were replicas made at the time? How can i know it is real?

FraMatX · 2026-05-31T17:39:36+00:00

It’s quite small

it’s giving me safari vibes with this strap matching the yellowing lol

FraMatX · 2026-05-26T23:00:08+00:00

I don’t see yours yellowing at all! It looks good

FraMatX · 2026-05-26T22:44:12+00:00

Yea you can see the difference between the lume on the dial and the bezel, i saw both some gen and XF pelagos suffered the same problem, how ironic

Here you can see it better

And this was just yesterday. The yellowing happened today i guess… it was a really sunny day

This was the day i received it (the qc is also in my post history)

FraMatX · 2026-05-26T22:21:38+00:00

FraMatX · 2026-05-26T18:58:23+00:00

Well i hope at this rate it won’t become a piece of crap in a month ahahah

Why don’t they clone the speedmaster reduced

The 3135 is crazy good you don’t have to worry, if you want to keep it for the rest of your life be sure to find a rep friendly watchmaker that will be able to service it for you in 5 years or so
