Loving the large Santos, I 3D printed a medium and a large before ordering. Glad I went large.

Cross posted from reptimeqc… what do you all think?

This is my first rep order and navigating this process. I'm also fairly new to watches in general having worn an Apple Watch for the last decade or so. I'll try my best, all help is appreciated, thank you.

Dealer name: Steve, theonewatches.ws

Factory name: F!F

Model name (& version number): Cartier Tank Must 25.5mm SS/LE White Dial on F1F Quartz

Price Paid: $228 + $60 shipping

Index alignment: All of the indexes look straight and aligned, I tried to match the edges of the case and the roman numerals. I assume this is more of an issue on watches with glued on hour markers/numbers.

Dial Printing: Dial printing also looks good, no bleeding, all seems crisp and clear.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: n/a

Hand Alignment: I think this looks good. In comparing photos to Gen they have them set to the same 10 and 2 and they all look the same. I do notice a mark or reflection or something in the middle.

Bezel: I'm not sure on the bezel, if it's reflections, if there is that clear plastic on the face to protect it, I think this is where I need some help or clarification. There may be a mark above one of the screws on the crown side.

Solid End Links (SELs): n/a?

Timegrapher numbers: n/a, quartz watch?

Anything else you notice: In two of the images on the hands in the center, there seems to be a silver mark, maybe reflection, I can see it move in the video and it doesn't look to be on the hands, pointing to some other reflection on top?

Am I being too nitpicky or are these valid concerns?

Thanks again.
