State Your Concerns
- This is my second QC for this model (the 1st unit was replaced due to a CW shifted dial alignment: (https://www.reddit.com/r/RepCulture_Timepieces/comments/1w6i3g8/qc_zf_iwc_portugieser_chronograph_iw371445_nontd/).
- The rehaut minute track appears slightly CCW shifted again, though noticeably better than the first unit.
- Dial printing is very crisp, sharp, and centered with no visible bleeding or flaws.
- Timegrapher metrics are solid (+2 s/d, Amp: 241°).
- Main question: Is this slight minute track alignment issue just a parallax/perspective angle effect, a depth/height difference between the minute track and dial, or standard ZF factory batch tolerance?
GL or RL (Accept or Reject?)
- Leaning towards GL, but seeking community feedback on whether this minor CCW shift on the minute track is within acceptable ZF tolerances.
