4. Price Paid: $528 + $30 shipping

6. Index alignment: Overall looking solid. Triangle, rectangles, and circular markers all appear properly aligned with no obvious rotation issues. 6 and 9 also look straight.
7. Dial Printing: Printing looks clean and centered. Coronet placement and text spacing seem good from the straight-on shots.
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A
9. Hand Alignment: Hands appear properly aligned with no visible clearance concerns.
10. Bezel: Pip looks centered and bezel alignment appears clean overall. Numerals and hash alignment also look good to me.
11. Solid End Links (SELs): SELs appear tight from the provided angles with no major gaps standing out.
12. Timegrapher numbers: +7s/d, amp 270-276, beat error 0.2ms. Numbers seem healthy and comfortably within acceptable range.
13. Anything else you notice: Mainly looking for a second set of eyes before GL. Nothing major is jumping out at me from a QC perspective and overall this seems like a pretty clean example. Aware that VSF Subs aren’t as perfect under macro scrutiny as they are made out to be, so mainly checking for anything obvious I may have overlooked. If you force me to be pedantic at gunpoint, perhaps the only issue is that the lume seems to have been hammered into place (esp 1, 2, 10, 11) which has dented their edges. Unless folks here suggest otherwise, I’m happy to skip such microanalysis.

4. Price Paid: $538 + $30 shipping
5. Album Links: (can share over comments via imgur to avoid auto deletion, posted 12 photos here)
6. Index alignment: Marker alignment looks good overall. 12 marker appears reasonably even and I’m not noticing any major spacing or rotation issues from the provided shots.
7. Dial Printing: Printing looks clean and centered. Dial texture and color also appear fairly consistent across the different lighting angles.
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date appears centered in the window with decent spacing around the edges. Font thickness looks acceptable for DDF.
9. Hand Alignment: Hands look properly aligned and seated from what I can tell.
10. Bezel: N/A
11. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A
12. Timegrapher numbers: +3s/d, amp 273-276, beat error 0.0ms. Numbers look healthy.
13. Anything else you notice: I specifically chose the 324 variant over the 330 after reading more into the movement differences. Since the DDF 330 still lacks proper seconds hacking despite the engraving, the 324 felt like the more believable route for this build. Also wanted the white dial since most Nautilus builds I see tend to be blue, and I thought white would wear a bit more understated/professional. Nothing major is standing out to me here, but would appreciate a few experienced eyes before moving forward with GL.

$60 from DHGate, but probably not even worth $6

What do you guys think? How bad is it really
