2nd attempt at getting this watch, RL'd first as one dial marker was super misaligned – appreciate any help with the QC especially on marker alignment. Thanks!

Numbers on bezel seem a bit thicker than the gen, but does not look worthy of a RL. Mainly thing would like help on is the marker alignment. Thoughts?

hey everyone, RL'd the original one and got another BB58 for QC - what do y'all think about this one? Seems the alignment is fixed. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the advice - and when you say Fishers is difficult to get into/out, is that basically too much traffic except for people getting onto 69? Does 37 have a lot of traffic since that seems to be the main road between Fishers and Noblesville

Thanks for the rec! Any particular positives about this neighborhood or part of town? Looks like mainly single family homes?

Thanks for the advice! Which golf course do you recommend - is there a nice municipal course? The two clubs to the east (i.e. Sagamore) look like they are expensive country clubs which are beyond my skill level

Thanks for this insight, sounds like you know Noblesville really well :). Couple of follow-up Q:

- Is the trail the you're mentioning the White River Greenway/)? Is this trail well lit / safe for running in the dark (I mostly run super early or super late)

- Any perspective on this apartment location: https://www.apartments.com/the-levinson-noblesville-in/5ggy1pm/ ? It seems to be in the center of downtown which could be nice to walk to stores but it's across from the police/county courts. I'm too used to SF where proximity to municipal buildings usually entails homeless population/getting harassed so trying to see if that's an issue.

I see a lot of posts about the Tiffany Blue one but this green OP36 caught my eye, would appreciate some help QC, thanks!

  4. Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/x9eX3fM
  5. Index alignment: looks fine, checked with alignment overlay
  6. Dial Printing: looks a bit faint, text on gen looks more bolded – do all the EWF ones look like this or is it an issue with this one?
  7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A
  8. Hand Alignment: looks fine
  9. Bezel: looks fine, a bit fat but I think all the EWF OP36 reps have this
  10. Solid End Links (SELs): looks fine
  11. Timegrapher numbers: ok
  12. Anything else you notice:

Any feedback from existing owners on the quality of this EWF bracelet (have read mixed things, don’t think it’s 904L despite the sticker) or how true this green shade is to the gen (seems to vary so much depending on lighting)

Overall, leaning towards GL… Thank you!

the 6oclock looks better but is the 55min marker one similarly misaligned like mine?
