Watchdives EXD Ti SL3001 QC Issues
Received my EXD SL3001 in titanium today in the mail, and was disappointed to find that it was dead on arrival. I’m no stranger to mechanical watches, and figured it just needed a wind. I gave the crown some turns and lightly tapped on the back. The second hand would run for a few seconds and then stop altogether. Opened up the case back to find a disturbing amount of dust and debris in the movement. I’m used to PT5000 movements, but this is my first Peacock SL3001. I’m not sure if this was just a QC oversight, but I’m very disappointed in the cleanliness of the movement. For what it’s worth, the watch itself is amazing. The AR is fantastic, the titanium is beautifully finished, and the lume blocks are incredibly bright. I reached out to WD to see what assistance they’ll offer, but wanted to post here in case anyone else runs into issues with this specific model. Also not sure what’s going on with the double lug holes in the last pic?
