just to share an experience that happened about 1 month ago. then i thought it was probably one in a million chance. however, now im not so sure

was with a friend who wanted to get an explorer II. went to the AD and had a look. before making payment, had a close scrutiny on the watch. realised that the marking on digit 6 has abit of 'paint' off the top of the digit 6.

so took another piece. same thing. had a look @ third piece, also same thing. finally the fourth piece was ok. took the last piece.

i would understand if it is a piece in say 1000 or so pieces, one come across such defect. however, there are four pieces with the same defect. quality control is somewhat lacking as far as i can see.
