Anything else you notice: Overall it looks decent to me, but I’d appreciate second opinions before GL. The small Cartier print near the numeral looks a bit crooked when zoomed in, and the crystal seems a little thick. Is this normal for BVF Santos, or something worth asking Eric about?

This is my first watch from Geektime. I posted QC and the community advised me to GL.

It’s a VSF V3. Has anyone experienced this type of movement issue? Wondering if this is even a Vsf V3 gmt.

The hour hand isn’t functioning correctly. It doesn’t complete a full 24-hour cycle and seems to get stuck. Also, when I pull the crown all the way out, the minute, GMT, and hour hands all move together.

Is this something that can be fixed, or should I reach out to Eric for a replacement?

This is the original Qc description: Model: “Bruce Wayne” Rolex GMT-Master II 126710GRNR

Dealer: Geektime

Factory: VSF V3

Price: $658+70 FedEx shipping

Index alignment: used the qc tool markers look centered, lines look straight.

Dial printing: looks clear to me.

Date wheel: it looks Good it’s centered, font seem to be correct

Hand alignment: seems good to me comparable to other vsf gmt models on here

Bezel: the grey and black bezel looks good I don’t see much of a color difference from gen, might be slightly lighter.

SELs: seems good to me, I don’t see any major gaps.

Timegrapher: seems to be in a good range.
