RCF Rolex Submariner 126618LN 41mm YG/YG Black Dial | VR3235 Weighted | 227.48g

Hi everyone, I’m TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud.

I’m sharing a detailed QC of this RCF Rolex Submariner Date 126618LN 41mm YG/YG with the black dial, using the VR3235 weighted/gain-weight configuration.

I went through the full photo set, including the dial macro, date wheel, bezel, crown, case profile, bracelet, clasp, movement, lume, weight and Timegrapher.

Watch Identification

  • Model: Rolex Submariner Date 126618LN
  • Factory: RCF
  • Community name: RCF 126618LN / RCF 126618LN YG/YG Black Sub
  • Case diameter: 41mm
  • Thickness: 12.2mm
  • Dial: Black with gold-tone surrounds and luminous hour markers
  • Case: 904L stainless steel with yellow-gold finish / weighted construction
  • Bracelet: 904L Oyster-style bracelet with yellow-gold finish / weighted construction
  • Crystal: Sapphire with etched crown at 6
  • Cyclops: 2.5X
  • Bezel: Black ceramic unidirectional dive bezel
  • Caseback: Solid
  • Movement: VR3235 automatic
  • Date: 3 o'clock
  • Weight: 227.48g

Dial & Indices

The black dial looks clean in the macro shots. The applied hour markers, dial printing and hands appear properly positioned, and I don't see an obvious crooked marker or printing issue.

The main thing I'd check on a Sub QC is the relationship between the 12 o'clock triangle, 6 o'clock marker, minute track and bezel pip.

From these photos, the overall alignment looks good to me.

Date & Cyclops

The photographed date is 13.

The date appears reasonably centered inside the window, and the Cyclops gives the expected magnification.

I don't see an obvious date-wheel or Cyclops alignment issue from the supplied photos.

Bezel

The black ceramic bezel looks clean, with the gold-tone numerals and graduations clearly visible.

The 12 o'clock lume pip also looks properly positioned.

The bezel alignment looks acceptable against the dial centerline, with no obvious RL-level issue.

Case & Bracelet

The 41mm case has the expected Submariner profile, with clean crown guards and a properly seated crown.

The brushed and polished surfaces are visible in the case-profile shots, and I don't see an obvious major finishing defect.

The Oyster bracelet also appears properly fitted to the case. The end links sit reasonably well, and the bracelet articulation looks clean.

For this bracelet, I'd mainly check SEL fitment, end-link alignment, link articulation and clasp finishing.

Lume

The lume shot shows strong blue lume across the hands and hour markers, with the bezel pip also visible.

I don't see an obvious dead marker or major unevenness.

Weight

The actual QC scale reading is:

227.48g

This is the complete watch with the bracelet attached.

The weight is one of the more interesting points of this particular RCF version because it uses the weighted/gain-weight construction.

Timegrapher

The QC Timegrapher shows:

+1 s/d | 253° | 0.0 ms | 52.0° | 28,800 bph

That's a clean-looking reading.

Overall QC

My main QC points would be:

  • Dial / marker alignment
  • Date-wheel centering
  • Cyclops alignment
  • Bezel pip alignment
  • Case finishing
  • SEL / end-link fitment
  • Bracelet and clasp finishing
  • Gold-tone consistency
  • VR3235 Timegrapher performance

My QC take: GL.

I don't see a clear RL-level issue in the full set of photos. If I were checking this one myself, I'd pay the most attention to the bezel-to-dial alignment, date/Cyclops positioning and consistency of the yellow-gold finish.

If I got anything wrong, please feel free to point it out and correct me. Thanks.

OCTA AP Royal Oak 15500ST 41mm Blue Dial | SA4302 Free-Sprung | 173.13gBody

Hi everyone, I’m TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud.

I wanted to share a detailed QC check of this OCTA AP Royal Oak 15500ST with the blue dial and SA4302 free-sprung movement.

I went through the photos carefully, including the dial macro, case and bezel, bracelet/clasp, display caseback, movement, lume, weight and Timegrapher.

Watch Identification

  • Model: AP Royal Oak 15500ST
  • Reference: 15500ST
  • Factory: OCTA
  • Size: 41mm
  • Dial: Blue Grande Tapisserie-style dial with applied baton markers
  • Case: 316L stainless steel
  • Bracelet: Integrated 316L stainless steel bracelet
  • Crystal: Sapphire
  • Caseback: Exhibition/display caseback
  • Movement: OCTA SA4302 free-sprung version
  • Date: 3 o'clock
  • Clasp: AP-style integrated deployant clasp
  • Weight: 173.13g

The community normally refers to this simply as the OCTA 15500, OCTA AP 15500 Blue, or OCTA 15500 Free-Sprung. Recent discussions specifically mention OCTA alongside ZF and VSF as one of the factories people are comparing for the 15500, with the free-sprung movement being one of OCTA's selling points.

Dial & Indices

The blue dial is the first thing I checked closely.

The Grande Tapisserie pattern is clearly visible in the macro shots, and the blue color changes noticeably depending on the lighting. The applied AP logo and baton markers look clean, with no obvious dial-printing bleed.

The outer minute track also looks reasonably consistent around the dial.

The 12, 3, 6 and 9 markers are the areas I'd pay the most attention to on a Royal Oak QC because even a small amount of rotation can become obvious with this case and dial layout.

From these photos, I don't see a major index-alignment issue that would make me RL the watch.

Date Wheel

The QC date is 6.

The date appears reasonably centered inside the window, with no obvious contact against the upper or lower edge.

I'd call the date-wheel alignment acceptable from this single QC position.

Hands

The hour and minute hands look properly seated and aligned.

I don't see an obvious hand-cant issue or a seconds-hand problem in the supplied photos.

For me, this passes the basic hand-alignment QC check.

Bezel & Case Finishing

This is one of the more important areas on a Royal Oak.

The bezel screws appear properly seated, and I don't see obvious tool marks or damage around the screw heads.

The brushed bezel surface, polished chamfers and vertical case finishing are all visible in the side and macro shots.

The case profile also looks sharp, particularly around the transition between the brushed and polished surfaces.

There is no obvious major finishing defect jumping out from these QC photos.

Bracelet

The integrated bracelet looks properly connected to the case, with no obvious large gap between the case and first links.

The brushing on the links is visible, while the polished portions catch the light differently.

The clasp engraving is also visible in the macro photos.

Since this is an integrated bracelet, traditional Rolex-style SEL QC is N/A here. I'd focus instead on case-to-bracelet fitment, link alignment, articulation and finishing consistency.

Movement

The display caseback gives a very clear view of the movement.

The movement is visibly decorated in the AP 4302 style, including the skeletonized/engraved rotor area, Geneva-style striping and the visible 4302 marking.

The supplied configuration is the SA4302 free-sprung version.

One important distinction for anyone reading this: I would describe it as an SA4302 / 4302-style replica movement, rather than calling it a genuine AP Calibre 4302.

The genuine Royal Oak 15500 uses AP's Calibre 4302, while the movement shown here is the replica factory's SA4302 implementation.

The genuine 15500's 4302 is a 4Hz automatic movement with a 70-hour power reserve and a free-sprung balance.

Lume

The lume shot shows the hands and hour markers lighting up clearly.

The lume appears reasonably even across the visible markers, and I don't see an obvious dead marker.

Weight

The scale photo gives an actual QC weight of:

173.13g

This is the photographed weight with the bracelet attached.

Interestingly, recent community discussions around 15500 comparisons also pay attention to the weight difference between factories, so having the actual QC scale reading is useful rather than relying only on a factory specification.

Timegrapher

The Timegrapher screen clearly reads:

Rate: -4 s/d
Amplitude: 254°
Beat Error: 0.0 ms
Lift Angle: 52.0°

For a QC photo, that's a clean-looking reading.

The 0.0 ms beat error is particularly nice to see, while the -4 s/d rate is well within what I'd consider a reasonable QC result.

Obviously, one Timegrapher snapshot isn't a complete movement test, but there's nothing in this reading that gives me an immediate reason to RL.

Overall QC

After checking the full set of photos, I don't see a clear RL-level issue.

The main things I'd personally focus on with this particular 15500 are:

  • Index alignment
  • Blue dial color and Tapisserie pattern
  • Date-wheel centering
  • Bezel screw seating
  • Brushed/polished case transitions
  • Integrated bracelet fitment
  • SA4302 movement finishing
  • Timegrapher consistency

The 15500 remains one of the more frequently discussed AP reps, and recent Reddit discussions are still comparing OCTA, ZF and VSF specifically for this reference.

My QC take: GL.

Nothing in the supplied photos stands out strongly enough for me to request an RL. If I were checking this for myself, the only areas I'd want other AP/15500 owners to scrutinize further would be the dial/index alignment and the bezel screw positioning, simply because those details are very noticeable on a Royal Oak.

If I got anything wrong, please feel free to point it out and correct me. Thanks.

N1F Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 42mm | Black Dial | A3861 / ST19

Hi everyone, I’m TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud.

Sharing a QC check of an N1F Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 42mm with the classic black dial, stainless-steel bracelet and display caseback.

In the rep community, this is generally referred to as the N1F Speedmaster, N1F Moonwatch, or N1F A3861.

I went through the photos closely, including the dial macros, tachymeter bezel, case profile, crown and pushers, bracelet and clasp, display caseback, movement, lume and timegrapher.

Watch Details

  • Model: Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch
  • Factory: N1F
  • Common community name: N1F Speedmaster / N1F Moonwatch / N1F A3861
  • Case diameter: 42mm
  • Thickness: 16mm according to the supplied specification
  • Dial: Black with white applied markers and printed minute track
  • Case: 316L stainless steel
  • Bracelet: 316L stainless-steel bracelet
  • Crystal: Sapphire
  • Caseback: Display caseback
  • Bezel: Black tachymeter bezel
  • Clasp: Deployant buckle
  • Movement: ST19-based manual-winding chronograph, decorated/marked as 3861
  • QC weight: 158.00g

Dial & Subdials

The black dial is shown in several close-up photos.

The Omega logo, Speedmaster Professional text and minute track look clean in the supplied images. The applied hour markers also appear reasonably straight and evenly positioned.

The three subdials are clearly visible, and this is one of the areas I would pay the most attention to on an N1F Speedmaster.

The subdial spacing is one of the known discussion points with this generation of Speedmaster reps, so I would be interested in hearing what more experienced Speedmaster owners think about the spacing in this particular QC set. Recent N1F QC discussions specifically call out subdial spacing as an area worth checking.

Hands & Chronograph

The central chronograph seconds hand and the smaller register hands look properly seated in the static photos.

There is no date wheel to check on this model.

For a full functional QC, I would ideally want to see a short video showing the chronograph start/stop and reset, particularly the central seconds hand returning to 12.

Tachymeter Bezel

The black tachymeter bezel is clearly visible in the macro shots.

The printing looks clean and the numerals are readable around the bezel. I don't see an obvious major alignment or printing defect from these photos.

The bezel is one of the easier areas to inspect on this watch because the black/white contrast makes inconsistencies fairly obvious.

Case, Crown & Pushers

The side-profile photos provide good views of the case finishing, crown and chronograph pushers.

The crown and pushers appear properly seated, and I don't see an obvious major dent, scratch or uneven case finishing in the supplied photos.

Bracelet & Clasp

The stainless-steel bracelet is shown from several angles.

The links appear properly seated, and the brushing/polishing transition looks consistent across the visible bracelet.

The deployant clasp is also shown in close-up. I don't see an obvious major finishing problem or misalignment.

Since this is the bracelet version, I would focus on end-link fit and bracelet-to-case transition rather than trying to apply the Rolex-style SEL checklist.

Timegrapher

The actual timegrapher photo reads:

  • Rate: 0 s/d
  • Amplitude: 263°
  • Beat error: 0.1 ms
  • Lift angle: 52°

The trace shown in the photograph looks reasonably stable.

For this particular movement, I think the timegrapher photo is much more useful than simply saying “the movement looks good.”

Lume

The lume shot shows the hour markers and hands glowing blue/green under the supplied lighting.

The visible markers appear reasonably even, with no obvious completely dead marker in the photo.

Weight

The scale photo reads:

158.00g

That's the actual number shown in the QC photo, so I would use that rather than a generic factory weight.

Overall QC Impression

After going through the enlarged photos, I don't see an obvious major cosmetic QC issue.

The main areas I'd want the community to look at are:

  • Subdial spacing
  • 12 o'clock marker alignment
  • Dial printing
  • Chronograph hand alignment/reset
  • Tachymeter bezel alignment
  • Crown and pusher positioning
  • End-link fit
  • Bracelet finishing
  • Clasp alignment
  • Movement condition
  • Timegrapher results

The 0 s/d / 263° / 0.1 ms timegrapher result looks good to me, and the visible cosmetic QC is generally clean.

The one thing I would not overlook on an N1F Speedmaster is the subdial layout, since that is one of the areas the community consistently discusses with this model.

Overall, I would consider this GL based on the available QC photos, while keeping the subdial spacing as the main point for a second opinion.

If I got anything wrong, please feel free to point it out and correct me. Thanks.

DDF Patek Nautilus 5711 Tiffany Blue 40mm — DD324 Super Clone / SW Dial

Hi everyone, I’m TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud.

Sharing a QC set for a DDF Nautilus 5711 Tiffany Blue, with the 40mm stainless-steel case, Tiffany-blue dial and DD324-style movement.

For reference, recent QC posts in the community commonly label this configuration as DDF 5711 / Nautilus 5711 DDF DD324 Super Clone, so that's the terminology I'm using here.

Watch Specs

  • Model: Nautilus 5711
  • Factory: DDF
  • Dial: Tiffany Blue / SW dial
  • Movement: Asian DanDong DD324 Super Clone
  • Case diameter: 40mm
  • Thickness: 8.3mm
  • Case: 316L stainless steel
  • Bracelet: 316L stainless steel
  • Crystal: Sapphire
  • Caseback: Display caseback
  • Bezel: Stainless steel, polished/brushed
  • Clasp: Deployant clasp
  • Date: 3 o'clock
  • Factory-listed water resistance: 30m

QC Review

1. Dial / index alignment

The Tiffany-blue dial is shown from several angles, including close-ups. The horizontal dial texture is visible, and the baton markers appear generally consistent in the supplied photos.

The 12 o'clock marker is the one I'd pay particular attention to because small alignment issues on 5711 dials are much easier to notice when viewed straight-on.

2. Dial printing

The Patek Philippe text and other dial printing look clean in the supplied close-ups. I don't see obvious bleeding or a major printing defect.

3. Date wheel

The date is clearly visible at 3 o'clock. The single-date photo looks reasonably centered, although I'd prefer to see a few different dates before making a stronger judgment on the date-wheel alignment.

4. Hands

The hands look properly seated from the available photographs. A short video showing the hands passing 12 would be the better way to check hand alignment.

5. Bezel / case

The bezel and case edges are photographed from several angles. The polished/brushed transitions look clean in the supplied images, and I don't see an obvious scratch or major finishing issue.

6. Bracelet / clasp

The bracelet has several close-up shots, which are useful for checking the center links, brushing, clasp finishing and end-link fit.

There are no conventional SELs to evaluate here in the same way you would on a Rolex Oyster bracelet, so I wouldn't apply the usual Rolex SEL checklist to this watch.

7. Movement

The display caseback gives a clear view of the movement. The visible movement is consistent with the supplied DD324-style specification.

8. Weight

The QC scale photo reads approximately 121.28g with the bracelet attached.

Overall, I don't see an obvious major cosmetic issue from this set. My main points for a second opinion would be the 12 o'clock marker, date alignment, hand alignment, bracelet finishing and clasp/end-link fit.

If I missed anything, especially a small index or alignment issue, please point it out.

If I have anything wrong, please feel free to correct me. Thanks.

VSF Yacht-Master 42 226659 — Black Dial, Black Bezel & DD3235

Hi everyone, I’m TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud.

Sharing a QC set for a VSF Yacht-Master 42, reference 226659, with the black dial and black bezel configuration.

This is the 42mm Yacht-Master / Black Dial YM 42 setup, with the rubber strap and deployant clasp.

Watch Specs

  • Model: Yacht-Master 42
  • Reference: 226659
  • Factory: VSF
  • Movement: Asian Super Clone DD3235, according to the supplied specs
  • Case diameter: 42mm
  • Thickness: 13mm
  • Dial: Black dial with dot markers
  • Lume: Blue Super-Lume
  • Case material: 904L stainless steel, according to the supplied configuration
  • Strap: Black rubber strap with deployant buckle
  • Crystal: Sapphire with AR coating
  • Bezel: Black bidirectional ceramic bezel
  • Date: 3 o'clock
  • Caseback: Solid caseback
  • Factory water-resistance claim: 30m

QC Points

1. Dial and date

The dial is shown from several angles, including a dedicated close-up of the date window. The hour markers look evenly positioned in the supplied photos, and the date appears centered within the window.

2. Bezel

The black bezel gets several close-up shots, which makes it easier to check the engraved numerals, marker alignment, finishing, and bezel-to-dial relationship.

3. Case and crown

The side-profile photos give a good view of the crown, crown guards, case finishing, and overall proportions. These are probably the areas I'd compare most closely against known good 226659 references.

4. Strap and clasp

The rubber strap and deployant clasp are photographed separately. The clasp engraving, finishing, end connections, and strap alignment are all worth checking.

5. Lume

The dedicated lume shots show the dial markers and hands glowing blue. The lume appears reasonably even in the supplied photographs.

6. Movement

The caseback has been removed for the movement photographs. The DD3235-style movement and decorated rotor/bridge area are visible.

I would treat movement decoration as a visual QC point rather than trying to judge mechanical performance from photographs. A timegrapher reading would be much more useful for rate, amplitude, and beat error.

Overall, I don't see an obvious major cosmetic issue in the supplied QC photos.

If I have anything wrong, please feel free to point it out and correct me. Thanks.

VSF Oyster Perpetual 36 126000 Celebration Dial QC | VS3230 | OP36 Multicolour

Hi everyone, I’m TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud.

Sharing a QC check of a VSF Oyster Perpetual 36 ref. 126000 with the Celebration dial.

In the rep community, this configuration is usually referred to as the OP36 Celebration, 126000 Celebration, or simply Celebration Dial.

I went through the supplied photos closely, including the dial close-ups, case profile, crown, bezel, bracelet, clasp, caseback, movement, lume and overall finishing.

Watch Identification

  • Model: Oyster Perpetual 36
  • Reference: 126000
  • Common community name: OP36 Celebration / 126000 Celebration
  • Factory: VSF
  • Movement: VS3230 Super Clone
  • Case diameter: 36mm
  • Case thickness: 12mm
  • Dial: Multicoloured Celebration dial
  • Case: 904L stainless steel
  • Bracelet: 904L stainless steel Oyster bracelet
  • Crystal: Sapphire with colourless AR coating
  • Bezel: Smooth polished bezel
  • Clasp: Deployant/Folding clasp

The Celebration motif is the defining feature here. The genuine 126000 is a 36mm Oyster Perpetual, and Rolex describes the Celebration design as a multicoloured motif.

Dial

The dial is obviously the main talking point on this watch.

I checked the enlarged straight-on and angled photos carefully. Because the Celebration dial has multiple coloured sections and black outlines, it is much busier than a standard OP dial.

The applied hour markers remain easy to distinguish against the different coloured areas, and I don't see an obvious major marker alignment issue from the supplied angles.

The dial printing also looks clean from the close-up shots.

Hands & Alignment

The hands appear properly seated and proportionate to the dial.

I would pay particular attention to the relationship between the hands and the hour markers rather than trying to judge tiny differences caused by camera angle.

From the available photos, nothing immediately jumps out as an RL-level alignment problem.

Bezel & Case

The smooth bezel has an even appearance around the dial.

The side-profile shots are useful here because they show the case shape, crown position and finishing from a different perspective.

The crown sits cleanly against the case, and I don't see an obvious major defect in the case finishing.

Bracelet & End Links

The Oyster bracelet is shown from several angles.

I specifically checked the end-link-to-case transition, since that's one of the areas I think is worth looking at in an OP QC.

The links appear properly seated, with no obvious large gap visible in the supplied photos.

The clasp and bracelet finishing also look consistent with the rest of the watch.

Movement

The supplied specification lists the movement as the VS3230 automatic.

The movement photos show the 3230-based architecture and decorated components.

Lume

The lume shot shows the hands and hour markers glowing blue.

The lume appears reasonably even across the visible markers, and I don't see an obvious dead marker in the supplied photo.

Overall QC

After going through the enlarged photos, I don't see an obvious major QC issue.

The areas I would personally focus on are:

  • Celebration dial pattern
  • Hour-marker alignment
  • Dial printing
  • Hand alignment
  • Smooth bezel
  • Crown position
  • Case finishing
  • End-link fit
  • Bracelet alignment
  • Clasp finishing
  • Lume consistency

Overall, this looks GL to me based on the supplied QC photos.

The Celebration dial is naturally difficult to QC because there is so much visual information on the dial. I would be interested in hearing whether anyone sees a marker, printing or alignment issue that I missed.

If I got anything wrong, please point it out and correct me. Thanks.

A7F IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 Green Dial QC | 40mm SS/SS A2892 | IW328903

Hi everyone, I’m TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud.

Today I’m sharing a QC check of an A7F IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 with the green grid-pattern dial and integrated stainless steel bracelet.

I went through the photos closely and checked the watch from multiple angles rather than relying only on the main wrist shots.

Watch Details

  • Factory: A7F
  • Model: IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40
  • Reference: IW328903 / Green-Aqua Ingenieur 40
  • Community Name: A7F Ingenieur 40 Green / Green Ingenieur
  • Size: 40mm
  • Dial: Green/Aqua textured grid dial with stick markers
  • Case: Solid 316L stainless steel
  • Bracelet: Integrated 316L stainless steel bracelet
  • Movement: Asian 2892 automatic
  • Beat Rate: 28,800 vph
  • Thickness: 11mm
  • Crystal: Sapphire with AR coating
  • Caseback: Solid caseback with engraving
  • Date: 3 o'clock, crown adjustable
  • Weight shown in QC: 150.12g

The overall configuration matches the modern Ingenieur Automatic 40 design: integrated H-link bracelet, round bezel with five functional-looking bezel screws, grid-pattern dial and date at 3 o'clock. The genuine IW328903 is the 40mm stainless-steel Aqua-dial configuration.

Dial & Printing

The green grid-pattern dial is the first thing that stands out.

I checked the close-up images carefully. The grid texture is visible across the dial, and the IWC logo, Schaffhausen text and Ingenieur branding look clean from the supplied angles.

The applied stick markers are also worth checking because they are very noticeable against the green dial.

From these photos, I don't see an obvious major marker alignment problem.

Date Window

The date at 3 o'clock is clearly visible in the macro shot.

The “16” is centered reasonably well inside the date aperture, and the date window itself sits correctly relative to the 3 o'clock marker.

This is one of the areas I would normally inspect carefully on an Ingenieur QC, and nothing immediately stands out as an RL-level issue here.

Bezel & Case

The five bezel screws are clearly visible in the enlarged shots.

I checked their positioning as well as the transition between the bezel and case. The brushed and polished surfaces are also visible in the angled case photos.

The case profile looks consistent with the 40mm Ingenieur design, and the crown sits cleanly on the right side of the case.

Bracelet & Clasp

The integrated stainless-steel bracelet is an important part of this model.

The QC set gives several useful close-ups of the bracelet, including the center links, clasp and case-to-bracelet transition.

The brushing/polishing looks consistent across the visible links, and I don't see an obvious badly misaligned link or major finishing defect.

Lume

The lume shot shows the hands and applied markers lighting up evenly.

The lume is strong enough to make the hour markers easy to distinguish, and I don't see an obvious dead marker in the supplied photo.

Movement

This version is listed with an Asian 2892 automatic movement at 28,800 vph.

For the QC post, I would keep the movement discussion simple: this is the A2892-based automatic setup supplied with this A7F Ingenieur.

Weight

The scale photo shows:

150.12g

That's the actual weight visible in the QC photos, so I would use that figure rather than relying on a generic factory weight.

Overall QC Impression

After checking the enlarged photos, I don't see a major issue that would make me immediately call this RL.

The areas I paid the most attention to were:

  • Green grid dial texture
  • IWC / Schaffhausen printing
  • Applied marker alignment
  • Date window and date-wheel centering
  • Five bezel screws
  • Crown position
  • Case finishing
  • Case-to-bracelet transition
  • Bracelet finishing
  • Clasp alignment
  • Lume consistency

My overall impression is GL based on these QC photos.

The green dial is definitely the standout feature on this one. It has a much more distinctive look than the black or silver Ingenieur configurations.

What do you guys think? Anything on the dial, bezel or bracelet that I missed?

If I got anything wrong, please point it out and correct me. Thanks.

【Chen】VSF Rolex Day-Date 40 228238 Green Roman Dial QC | DD3255 Super Clone | YG President

Hi everyone, I’m TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud.

Today I’m sharing a QC check of a VSF Day-Date 40 228238, with the green dial, Roman numerals and yellow-gold President bracelet.

I went through the photos closely and checked the watch from multiple angles, including the dial, date window, cyclops, fluted bezel, case profile, crown, bracelet, clasp and overall finishing.

Watch Identification

  • Model: Day-Date 40
  • Reference: 228238
  • Factory: VSF
  • Version: V2
  • Size: 40mm
  • Dial: Green with Roman markers
  • Case / Bracelet: Yellow-gold appearance
  • Movement: Asian Super Clone 3255 / DD3255
  • Bracelet: President-style bracelet
  • Bezel: Fluted
  • QC weight shown: 182.35g

In the rep community, I would normally call this a VSF Day-Date 40 228238 Green Roman / YG President.

Dial & Date

The green dial is the first thing that stands out in the photos.

Looking closely at the enlarged dial shots, the Roman markers appear evenly placed around the dial and the overall dial layout is clean. The day display at 12 and the date at 3 are both clearly visible.

The close-up of the date window also gives a good look at the cyclops, date alignment and surrounding dial printing.

I don't see an obvious major dial alignment problem from these photos.

Bezel & Case

The fluted bezel has a consistent pattern around the case, and the polished surfaces catch the light evenly in the different angles.

The side-profile photos are particularly useful here. The case, bezel and crown can be seen without relying only on the straight-on wrist shot.

The crown and case profile look clean to me, with no obvious major issue jumping out from the supplied angles.

Bracelet & Clasp

The President-style bracelet is shown from several angles, including the links and clasp.

The bracelet has the expected combination of polished and brushed-looking surfaces, and the links appear to sit together consistently.

The clasp photos also give a useful look at the finishing and engraving area.

Weight

One thing I specifically noticed from the enlarged QC photos is the scale reading:

182.35g

Overall QC

After going through the photos closely, I don't see an obvious major QC issue that would make me immediately call this RL.

The main things I would personally check before making the final decision are:

  • Roman marker alignment
  • Day and date alignment
  • Cyclops position
  • Fluted bezel consistency
  • Crown alignment
  • Bracelet link finishing
  • Clasp finishing
  • Overall gold-tone consistency

Overall, this looks GL to me based on the supplied QC photos.

What do you guys think about the dial alignment and bezel? Anything I missed?

If I got anything wrong, please point it out and correct me. Thanks.

【Chen】VSF Daytona 126519 Grey Dial 40mm QC | DD4131 V2 Super Clone on Black Rubber Strap

Hi everyone, I’m TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud.

Sharing a QC check of a VSF Daytona 126519 with the grey dial and black rubber strap. I went through the photos closely, including the dial, bezel, case profile, crown/pushers, bracelet/strap connection, clasp, caseback, and movement.

Watch Identification

  • Model: Rolex Daytona 126519
  • Size: 40mm
  • Factory: VSF
  • Version: V2
  • Movement: DD4131 Super Clone
  • Dial: Grey with stick markers
  • Strap: Black rubber with deployant clasp
  • Case: 904L stainless steel
  • Bezel: Black ceramic tachymeter bezel

In the photos, the overall configuration is consistent with the Daytona 126519 grey-dial / black-rubber setup. The black ceramic bezel, three-subdial layout, grey dial, black rubber strap, and 40mm Daytona case shape are all clearly visible.

Movement

The watch is fitted with the DD4131 Super Clone automatic chronograph movement.

What I Checked in the QC Photos

Dial & Hands

  • Grey dial has a clean overall appearance.
  • Stick markers look evenly positioned.
  • Subdial layout is consistent with the Daytona configuration.
  • Lume is visible in the lume shot.

Bezel

  • Black ceramic tachymeter bezel is clearly visible.
  • Numerals appear clean and evenly printed.
  • I don't see an obvious major alignment issue from the supplied angles.

  • 40mm case proportions look balanced.
  • Crown and chronograph pushers sit correctly in the case.
  • Side-profile photos give a good look at the finishing and case thickness.

Strap & Clasp

  • Black rubber strap is fitted correctly to the case.
  • Deployant clasp is shown from multiple angles.
  • Clasp finishing looks consistent with the overall watch.

Caseback & Movement

  • Solid caseback is shown clearly.
  • No obvious major QC issue jumps out from the movement photos.

Overall QC Impression

From the photos provided, this is a clean-looking VSF Daytona 126519 configuration. The main areas I would personally focus on are the dial alignment, subdial spacing, bezel printing, crown/pusher alignment, and overall case finishing.

For me, the watch looks GL based on the available photos. As always with QC, different people may notice different small details, so I’d be interested to hear what the community sees.

If I missed anything, please point it out and correct me. Thanks.

【Chen】A7F IWC Pilot Mark XX 40mm White/Silver Dial | A2892 QC

Hi everyone, I’m TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud.

Sharing a QC set for the A7F IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XX 40mm with the White/Silver dial and stainless steel bracelet.

The Mark XX has always had that simple Pilot-watch layout, and I think this white/silver version is one of the cleaner configurations. The large Arabic numerals, 12 o’clock triangle and clean dial make it pretty easy to judge in QC photos.

I went through the photos closely and checked the dial printing, numerals, hands, date window, case shape, crown, bracelet, clasp, lume and movement.

QC Check

Dial

The white/silver dial is clean in the close-up shots.

The Arabic numerals look evenly printed, and the spacing around the dial looks consistent. The 12 o’clock triangle and minute track are also easy to see in the straight-on photos.

The hands look properly aligned with the dial, which is one of the first things I normally check on a Mark XX.

Date Window

The date is positioned at 3 o’clock and the close-up gives a pretty clear look at the window.

I would mainly check the date centering and the relationship between the date window and the surrounding dial printing. Nothing immediately stands out to me from these photos.

Case & Crown

The side profile shots show the case shape and crown clearly.

The case has the fairly straightforward Pilot-watch profile, with the brushed and polished surfaces visible from the different angles.

I don't see any obvious dent, uneven finishing or major issue in the case photos.

Bracelet & Clasp

This version comes on the stainless steel bracelet with the quick-release style end links.

The bracelet photos show the individual links and clasp from several angles. The finishing looks consistent with the rest of the case, and I don't see any obvious damage or badly seated links in the QC set.

Lume

The lume shot is actually useful here.

The hour markers show the green lume while the hands are illuminated in blue, making the different lume areas easy to distinguish.

For a Mark XX, I think the lume photo is more useful than trying to judge everything from heavily lit product shots.

Movement

This one uses the Asian 2892 automatic movement.

The movement photos show the rotor and bridge layout clearly.

I wouldn't over-focus on movement specifications for QC. For this kind of watch, I'd rather check the overall movement assembly, rotor placement, hand alignment and basic functionality than turn the movement section into a list of numbers.

Overall QC

Overall, this looks like a clean QC set to me.

The areas I would personally focus on are:

  • Dial printing and numeral spacing
  • Date window alignment
  • Hand alignment
  • Case finishing
  • Bracelet/end-link fit
  • Lume consistency

I don't see anything in these photos that immediately makes me think RL.

For me, this is looking like a GL based on the QC photos.

If I have said anything wrong or missed something, feel free to point it out and correct me. Thanks.

VSF GMT-Master II 126710 Bruce Wayne 40mm Oyster | DD3285 QC

Hi everyone, I’m TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud.

Sharing a QC set for the VSF GMT-Master II 126710 “Bruce Wayne”.

This one has the black dial, black/grey ceramic bezel and Oyster bracelet, which is the combination most people in the rep community refer to as the “Bruce Wayne.”

I went through the photos closely, including the dial, bezel, date window, case profile, bracelet, clasp, caseback and movement.

QC Check

Dial & Hands

The black dial and round markers look clean in the close-up shots. The hands look well aligned with the dial, and the overall dial layout is consistent with this GMT configuration.

The lume shot is also included, so you can see the blue lume on the markers and bezel.

Bezel

The black/grey ceramic bezel is the main feature of this model.

Looking at the close-ups, the bezel printing and markers look clean, and the 12 o’clock triangle appears properly positioned. The black/grey transition also looks even in the photos.

Date & Cyclops

The date window at 3 o’clock is clearly visible in the close-up.

The Cyclops also looks properly positioned over the date. This is one of the areas I would personally check carefully on any GMT QC: date centering, Cyclops alignment and overall magnification.

Case & Bracelet

The case profile and crown side are shown from both angles.

The watch comes with a 904L stainless steel Oyster bracelet and Rolesor-style clasp. The bracelet and clasp close-ups show the links and finishing clearly, with no obvious issue standing out in the photos.

Movement

The watch uses the Asian Super Clone DD3285 automatic GMT movement.

For me, the important point here isn't a long list of movement specifications. The DD3285 is used as the GMT movement for this configuration, and the photos show the decorated rotor and movement finishing.

The main QC points I'd focus on are the GMT hand stack, hand alignment and general movement assembly rather than simply judging it from decoration alone.

Overall

From this set of photos, I don't see any obvious issue that immediately stands out to me.

If I were checking this one, my main three points would be:

  • Bezel alignment
  • Date/Cyclops alignment
  • GMT hand alignment

Other than that, the overall presentation looks clean in the photos.

If I have missed anything, please point it out and correct me. Thanks.

QC Check

I went through the photos pretty closely, especially the dial, indices, date wheel, hands, bezel, rehaut, crown, bracelet and clasp.

Index Alignment:
The 12, 6 and 9 markers look reasonably aligned from the available angles. I don't see any obvious crooked marker that would stand out.

Dial Printing:
The Rolex coronet and dial text look clean and sharp. Nothing obvious jumps out to me from the macro shots.

Date Wheel / Cyclops:
The date shown is 11. It looks centered in the window and the Cyclops gives the expected magnification.

Hand Alignment:
The hands look properly stacked and aligned in the static QC photos.

Bezel:
The blue ceramic bezel looks consistent. Numerals and minute markers look clean, and the 12 o'clock pip appears reasonably centered.

Rehaut / Crystal:
The rehaut engraving looks clean from the available angles, and the laser-etched crown at 6 o'clock is visible.

Timegrapher

+5 s/d | 252° amplitude | 0.3 ms beat error | 52° lift angle | 28,800 bph

The rate looks good to me. The amplitude is 252° at 52° lift angle, so I'd be interested to hear what others think about the timing numbers on this DD3235.

Weight

The scale shows 186.26g.

Since this is the Gain Weight / Weighted configuration, I specifically wanted to include the actual scale photo rather than just relying on the factory description.

What do you guys think of this VSF Cookie Monster?

RCF Day-Date 40 228238 White Roman Dial — VR3255 Gain Weight

Hi everyone, I'm TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud**.**

Posting a QC for an RCF Day-Date 40 228238 YG/YG with White Roman Dial, weighted version with the VR3255-V2 clone movement.

Factory: RCF
Model: Day-Date 40
Reference: 228238
Version: Gain Weight / Weighted
Size: 40mm
Dial: White dial with Roman markers
Case: Yellow-gold plated 904L stainless steel with added weight
Bracelet: Yellow-gold plated 904L stainless steel President-style bracelet
Movement: Asian Super Clone VR3255-V2, 28,800 vph
Thickness: 12.4mm
Crystal: Sapphire with Cyclops
Bezel: Fluted
Caseback: Solid
Clasp: Deployant clasp
Weight: Approximately 210g
Factory waterproofing claim: 30m

QC observations

Dial / Roman markers:
The white dial looks clean in the QC photos. The Roman markers appear reasonably even, and I don't see an obvious crooked marker or major spacing issue that would make me call an RL.

Day / Date:
The date close-up is showing 13 and the Cyclops looks reasonably centered over the date. The Day-Date layout also looks clean from the straight-on shots. This is one of the areas I'd appreciate a second opinion on, since small alignment differences are easier to spot with a fresh set of eyes.

Hand alignment:
The hands look reasonably aligned in the supplied photos. Nothing obvious is jumping out at me around the 12 o'clock position.

Fluted bezel:
The fluted bezel looks pretty clean overall. The fluting appears reasonably consistent around the case, although I know this is one of those details that can look quite different depending on lighting and camera angle.

Case / crown:
The side shots show the case profile, crown and crown guards fairly clearly. I don't see any obvious major finishing or symmetry issue from these angles.

President bracelet / SELs:
The President-style bracelet looks well fitted in the supplied photos. The end links appear reasonably tight against the case, with no obvious large gap jumping out at me.

Gold tone:
The yellow-gold finish looks consistent across the case and bracelet in these photos. I'm not going to call the exact color match from QC lighting alone, though. Gold tone is one of those things that can change quite a bit depending on the light and camera.

Weight:
The scale shows approximately 210.7g, which is right around the expected range for the RCF weighted configuration. The added weight is one of the main reasons people specifically look for the Gain Weight version.

Overall

Nothing obvious is standing out to me as an immediate RL from these photos.

The main things I'm looking for a second opinion on are Roman marker alignment, Day/Date centering, hand alignment, fluted bezel alignment and the SEL fit.

What do you guys think? Anything I'm overlooking before GL?

If I've got anything wrong or missed something, please feel free to correct me. Thanks everyone.

VSF Daytona 116500LN 40mm Panda White Dial — DD4130

Hi everyone, I'm TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud**.**

Posting a QC for a VSF Rolex Daytona 116500LN 40mm White Dial, commonly called the “Panda” Daytona, with the DD4130 / Dandong 4130 Super Clone.

Nickname: Panda
Size: 40mm
Movement: DD4130 / Dandong 4130 Super Clone automatic chronograph
Thickness: 12mm
Dial: White dial with black sub-dial rings and stick markers

Crystal: Sapphire with AR coating
Bezel: Black ceramic tachymeter bezel
Caseback: Solid caseback
Clasp: Flip-lock / deployant clasp
Lume: Blue Super-Lume
Factory waterproofing claim: 30m

QC observations

Dial & printing:
The white dial looks clean in the QC photos. The black sub-dial rings have good contrast and I don't see any obvious printing defects or major inconsistencies.

Index alignment:
The hour markers look reasonably aligned from the straight-on shots. Daytona dials are quite busy, so I'm more interested in whether there are any obvious canting issues rather than trying to call every tiny fraction of a degree.

Chronograph hands:
The chrono layout looks correct, and the sub-dial hands appear reasonably centered in the supplied photos. I'd still appreciate another set of eyes on the reset position.

Bezel:
The black ceramic tachymeter bezel looks clean overall. The numerals and markers appear reasonably even in the close-up shots. If anyone sees a noticeable alignment issue between the bezel scale and dial markers, please point it out.

Case / crown / pushers:
The side shots show the crown and chronograph pushers clearly. Nothing immediately stands out to me as a major case or finishing issue from these photos.

SELs / bracelet:
The Oyster bracelet and end links look reasonably tight in the supplied angles. I don't see an obvious large SEL gap, although this is always easier to judge from higher-resolution straight-on photos.

Lume:
The blue lume shots look consistent across the dial and hands. The lume is clearly visible and doesn't show an obvious weak marker in these photos.

Overall:
Nothing jumps out at me as an obvious RL from the photos I have. My main points for a second opinion would be the index alignment, chrono hand reset, bezel alignment and SELs.

What do you guys think? Anything I’m overlooking before GL?

If I've got anything wrong or missed something, please feel free to correct me. Thanks everyone.

QC observations

Index alignment:
Overall the dial markers look pretty good to me. The 12, 6 and 9 positions are the areas I usually pay the most attention to, and nothing immediately jumps out as a major issue from these photos.

Dial printing:
The printing looks clean and reasonably sharp. I don't see any obvious bleeding or missing text.

Date wheel / Cyclops:
The date looks reasonably centered in the close-up. The Cyclops also looks clean from the available photos. I'd appreciate another set of eyes on the date alignment before GL.

Hand alignment:
The hand stack looks normal from the QC shots. Since this is the DD3285 GMT setup, I'm also interested in whether anyone sees anything unusual with the GMT hand position.

Bezel:
The Pepsi ceramic insert looks good overall. The red/blue transition and 12 o'clock triangle look reasonably aligned to me. The final macro shot is included for anyone who wants to take a closer look at the bezel printing and insert.

SELs / Jubilee bracelet:
The Jubilee bracelet and end links look pretty clean. I don't see an obvious large SEL gap from these angles, although the reflective bracelet makes the exact gaps harder to judge.

Lume:
The lume shot is included. The hour markers appear to light up evenly enough, and the bezel pip is visible as well.

Movement:
This is the VSF V3 DD3285 setup with the correct hand-stack configuration and independently adjustable hour hand. I've included the movement close-ups mainly for anyone who follows the current VSF DD3285 batches.

Overall, I'm mainly looking for a second opinion on the 12 o'clock alignment, date/Cyclops, Pepsi bezel alignment, SELs and GMT hand stack.

Anything I'm missing before GL?

QC observations

Dial / printing:
The black dial looks clean in the photos. The printing looks sharp to me and I don't see any obvious issue with the markers or text.

Index alignment:
Overall the markers look reasonably aligned from the available angles. I'm mainly interested in whether anyone sees anything slightly off around the 6 / 9 / 12 positions that I'm overlooking.

Date wheel / Cyclops:
The date looks centered enough under the Cyclops in the close-up. The magnification also looks consistent with the stated 2.5X. I'd still like a second opinion on the date alignment before GL.

Bezel:
The black ceramic bezel looks clean and the pip appears centered. The bezel printing also looks fairly consistent from the photos.

Hand alignment:
Nothing obvious is jumping out at me from the available shots.

SELs / bracelet:
The Oyster bracelet and end links look pretty clean. I don't see a major SEL gap, although the highly reflective gold finish makes some of the edges difficult to judge from the angled photos.

Lume:
The lume shot is included. The blue lume appears reasonably even across the markers and bezel pip.

Movement:
This is the RCF VR3235 setup. The movement photos are included mainly for reference, especially for anyone familiar with the current RCF VR3235 finishing and weighted 126618LN configuration.

Weight:
The QC scale reads approximately 227.5g, which is very close to the advertised 227g weighted version.

Overall, I'm mainly looking for a second set of eyes on the index alignment, date/Cyclops alignment, bezel pip, SELs and overall yellow-gold finish.

Anything I'm missing before GL?

RCF 228239 40mm Blue Ombre Roman Day-Date — VR3255 Gain Weight

Hi everyone, I'm TD Chen from r/RepWatchClud

Posting a QC for an RCF 228239 40mm Blue Ombre Roman Day-Date, weighted version.

Factory: RCF
Model: Day-Date 228239
Version: Gain Weight / Weighted
Size: 40mm
Movement: Asian Super Clone VR3255-V2, 28,800 vph
Case: 904L stainless steel
Thickness: 12.4mm
Dial: Blue Ombre with Roman markers
Bracelet: 904L stainless steel President-style bracelet
Crystal: Sapphire
Caseback: Solid caseback
Bezel: Fluted
Clasp: Deployant clasp
Waterproofing: Factory claims 30m
Weight: Approximately 210.8g according to the QC scale

QC observations

Dial / printing:
The blue ombre looks pretty good in these photos. The colour changes quite a bit depending on the lighting, so I'm more interested in the overall gradient and dial printing than trying to judge the exact shade from one picture.

Roman markers:
The Roman numerals look reasonably clean and consistent to me. I don't see an obvious crooked marker from the available angles, but I'd appreciate another set of eyes on the 6 and 9 positions.

Day / date:
The day window at 12 looks centered to me. The date at 3 also looks reasonably positioned under the Cyclops. This is probably one of the main things I'd like people to check before GL.

Bezel:
The fluted bezel looks clean overall. I don't see an obvious uneven section jumping out from these photos.

Hands:
Nothing obviously concerning from the available shots. The hand stack also looks normal to me.

SELs / bracelet:
The President bracelet and end links look pretty clean. I don't see a major SEL gap in these photos, although some of the angles have quite a bit of reflection.

Lume:
Lume photos are included in the album. The markers appear to light up evenly enough from what I can see.

Movement:
This is the RCF VR3255-V2 setup at 28,800 vph. The movement photos are included mainly for reference, especially for anyone interested in the current RCF VR3255 finishing and layout.

Weight:
The scale photo appears to show approximately 210.8g

Overall, I'm mainly looking for opinions on the Roman marker alignment, day/date positioning, Cyclops, fluted bezel and SELs.

Anything I'm missing before GL?

If I've got anything wrong or missed something, please feel free to correct me. Thanks everyone.

QC observations

Index alignment: Looks pretty good to me overall. I don't see anything obviously off from these angles, although the 12 o'clock marker is probably the first area I'd ask the QC guys to look at closely.

Dial printing: Looks clean and sharp in the close-up shots. The blue dial also changes quite a bit depending on the lighting, so I'm not going to judge the exact shade from one photo.

Date wheel / Cyclops: The date looks centered enough from the QC photos and the Cyclops magnification looks consistent. I don't see an obvious major issue here.

Hand alignment: Looks fine from the available shots.

Bezel: The blue ceramic insert looks good overall and the pip appears reasonably centered. I'd be interested in whether anyone notices anything around the 10–12 o'clock section that I'm missing.

SELs / bracelet: The bracelet and clasp look clean in the photos. I don't see a major SEL gap jumping out at me, but this is always easier to judge from straight-on photos than angled shots.

Lume: The lume shots are included and the markers/pip are lighting up evenly enough from what I can see.

Movement: This is the VSF V2 DD3235 setup. The movement shots are included mainly for reference. The factory describes this as the Dandong/Asian Super Clone 3235 at 28,800 vph with around 72 hours of claimed power reserve.

Weight: The QC scale photo appears to show approximately 118.8g.

Timegrapher: A timing-machine photo is included in the album, but I don't want to invent numbers from a compressed screenshot. If anyone can read the timing data more clearly, feel free to comment.

Overall, I'm mainly looking for a second set of eyes on index alignment, bezel/pip alignment, date magnification and the two-tone bracelet/SELs.

What do you guys think — anything worth asking the TD to check before GL?

If I've got anything wrong or missed something, please feel free to correct me. Thanks everyone.
