Tudor Blue Pelagos arrival with a niggling complaint

[larryccf]

alright so the watch arrived Tuesday, and i figured i'd live with it a couple of days before posting (plus i hoped i would have my photo cabinet back up by now)

Was looking at it this afternoon and noticed the pearl in the bezel insert was rather small compared to other diver's pearls. Then got to looking at it real close and it's not even a real pearl, it's part of the silk screening on the insert, so it's a faux pearl. I mean really?? What do these luminova pearls cost them, maybe $1 - maybe $2?

I'm sure someone has already posted about this, but i kind of needed to vent. I've actually toyed with the idea of having the insert drilled and installing a real pearl. But i didn't buy this watch to re-manufacture it. Don't get me wrong, i still like the watch, it's just an irritating dis-appointment. But it makes me wonder - what's next - are they going to engrave the image of a gas escape valve on the side of the case to give the illusion of one on the next model?



FWIW
