I recently lost 380€ in a transaction involving u/vgruber89 and u/plmon24. I am sharing this so you can review their accounts and protect other community members.

What happened:
- vgruber89 contacted me regarding a rlx explorer 2 I was searching for, claiming a colleague located in the EU had one available.
- Than was plmon24, who provided verification photos upon request.
- plmon24 had very good karma, so I made the Payment, after which both stopped all communication.

They have since been added to the USL but unfortunately, they were not flagged yet at the exact time I sent the funds.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to replace the crown and tube on my QF Explorer II, so I ordered replacement parts from my TD. However, I noticed that the replacement tube is missing the internal grooves/serrations that the installation tool needs to grip when screwing it in.

Has anyone come across this before or has experience with this issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I’d appreciate a second set of eyes on this Gmt Master 2 / Bruce Wayne with Oyster bracelet.

1. Dealer name: Steve the one watches
2. Factory name: VSF
3. Model name (& version number): GMT Master II 126710 Bruce Wayne Oyster 40mm
4. Price Paid: 588$ incl. shipping
5. Album Links: -
6. Index alignment: The main concern remains the 9 o’clock marker. Compared to the first RL watch, the alignment is improved and the marker no longer appears rotated. However, I still see a slight upward shift, and after comparing it with several strong VSF GMT-Master II QC examples,
   (I checked more than 50 qc posts), it is still not at the level I would personally expect and belongs to the worse exemplars in my eyes. The 6 marker shows a very minor left bias under magnification. The 12 marker looks acceptable. Overall, the alignment is better than the first watch, but the 9 marker continues to draw my attention.
7. Dial Printing: OK.
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: OK.
9. Hand Alignment: No obvious issues.
10. Bezel: no visible issue
11. Solid End Links (SELs): Overall fitment looks good.
12. Timegrapher numbers: +4s/d; 310°; 0.1 ms
13. Anything else you notice: me not, but to be honest, after having 8 other perfect VSF/Clean reps, I‘m really negatively charged in this QC process.

I would appreciate you opinion. Unfortunately because of the 9, I‘m tending again to RL.

6. Index alignment: Good overall. No major misalignment visible.
7. Dial Printing: Clean and sharp printing.
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing:
   Well centered. Font looks good.
9. Hand Alignment: Looks properly aligned. No obvious issues.
10. Bezel: Bezel alignment and engraving look good.
11. Solid End Links (SELs): Overall fitment looks good. I think I may see a small gap on the upper-right SEL near 1–2 o’clock. Is anyone else seeing it, or is this just the camera angle? Is it acceptable?
12. Timegrapher numbers: 0s/d; 266°; 0.1 ms
13. Anything else you notice:

I’m not an expert, so would neep your help, especially if you spot anything subtle or batch-related that I might be missing.

Thanks in advance
