The things under the crystal :-/
Hey guys. I enjoy the watch collecting like all of you but recently I've been put off by getting last few watches with something under the crystal which shouldn't be there. I am not stupid and I understand that if a watch costs like 40 euros it will not be clean inside (looking at you my dirty Amphibia with a HUGE white something on the dial). But I don't mean cheap watches here. I've bought Glycine Airman 18 last year, it had a bigger speck of dust on the crystal from the under side and a hair. I got it fixed. Then I got Seiko SharpEdge (green dial) and the same thing.(ALL of my seikos came with something like that, but that's common I guess). Then I got a Yema, another Glycine, Geckota, Dievas, Damasko, Escapement time (I know these are cheap but they have great reputation for their QC) even my dream watch, now discontinued, Rolex OP 36 in white. All of them had something on the dial which was visible from normal distance (30cm). I hate this stuff. As I mentioned in the beginning I really enjoy the hobby but everytime I get a new watch I am not enjoying the experience because I am worried about noticing something which shouldn't have passed QC. I was really pissed the last time this happened and I almost decided to sell everything and get one white dial (not to see the stupid dust) radio controlled citizen with a sapphire crystal and be done.
So my questions is - are my expectations crazy ? Do you have the same experience ? Any advice ? :-D
Jeebus, you have terrible luck. I have owned nearly 300 watches from $10 Chinese to Rolex/Omega and have never had a single watch with these issues.
