VSF Seamaster First Rep; Would love some help with QC!

VSF Seamaster First Rep; Would love some help with QC!

This is the first rep I've ordered, but I've been lurking for some months. Would appreciate some opinions on how things look.

  1. Dealer name: theonewatches (Steve)
  2. Factory name: VSF
  3. Model name (& version number): Seamaster 300m 42mm SS/SS Blue Dial VSF VS8800 Super Clone 210.30.42.20.03.001
  4. Price Paid: $428
  5. Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/4XDPcuU
  6. Index alignment: Index alignment of the 3 and 9 markers both seem slightly tipped upwards, the 9 moreso than the 3. I did try to adjust for tilt in the picture and used the most square of the images.
  7. Dial Printing: Dial printing looks good, I know some of the red "seamaster" can be off in color, but I think it looks acceptable.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Alignment looks good, the initial "21" in the video looks slightly shifted right, but I think again the camera angle mostly contributes to that as the other dates look good.
  9. Hand Alignment: Looks good to me.
  10. Bezel: I'm not sure... it looks like the entire bezel is shifted up a tiny amount, the markers that would align with the 3 and 9 o'clock positions seem shifted upwards or don't align.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Looks acceptable to me.
  12. Timegrapher numbers: +2s/d, Amp 281°, 0.2ms, 52°
  13. Anything else you notice: Outside of the 3 and 9 marker and bezel alignment, there is a pretty glaring issue with the engraved red paint on the backside of the watch along the rotor. Is this something fixable or would you RL specifically on that?

Thanks for the help, and happy for any feedback on what is missed or what you agree with. Cheers!
