VSF Panda Rolex Daytona 116500LN 40mm

Hi all! I’m looking for some help with QC on my VSF Daytona 116500LN Panda with the DD4130 movement. This is my first time QCing, so I would really appreciate a few more experienced eyes + people on it. From what I can tell, I do have some problems with the alignment but i'm not sure if it's the standard with VSF or I'm just picky/overthinking, any help will be greatly appreciated.

  1. Dealer name: FicoTime (Mark)
  2. Factory name: VSF
  3. Model name (& version number): Rolex Daytona 116500LN Panda 40mm – DD4130
  4. Price Paid: 4730 HKD (Including shipping + insurance + waterproofing)
  5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/fsIjCLaa#rp3UhZzPpkVBhVth6I-lsA
  6. Index alignment: We can see that it is well centered at the 11, 12, 1 and 2 marke

rs

  1. but the other hour markers might not be really centered? I'm not sure if I am using the tool wrongly/overthinking. Major help needed on this~
  2. Dial Printing: Looks clean, from what I can see there isn't any defects or anything like that.
  3. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A
  4. Hand Alignment: Looks goo

d imo

  1. Bezel: Looks good. Engravings look clean and consistent, no weird defect.
  2. Solid End Links (SELs): No obvious excessive gaps for the SELs, in my opinion very solid.
  3. Timegrapher numbers: +7 s/day, 254° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error, 28,800 BPH. I searched online and it said it was okay? Would love a second opinion on this.
  4. Anything else you notice: Overall I feel that the details are clean with this Panda, but the only thing bugging me (or am i overthinking) is the misalignment of the other hour markers? It doesn't look as centered? I tried the watch QC tool and no matter how I aligned it, it couldn't fit everything in the center. Please help on this~ Thank you so much in advance!

VSF Rolex Daytona 116500LN Panda 40mm QC help needed~

Hi all! I’m looking for some help with QC on my VSF Daytona 116500LN Panda with the DD4130 movement. This is my first time properly QCing a Daytona, so I’d really appreciate a few more experienced eyes on it. From what I can tell, the alignment, dial and timegrapher numbers look pretty good, but I’d love a second opinion in case I’ve missed anything. Thanks in advance!

  1. Dealer name: FicoTime
  2. Factory name: VSF
  3. Model name (& version number): Rolex Daytona 116500LN Panda 40mm – DD4130
  4. Price Paid: 4730 HKD (Including shipping + insurance + waterproofing)
  5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/fsIjCLaa#rp3UhZzPpkVBhVth6I-lsA
  6. Index alignment: Looks good overall but I don't want to be too confident on this. The alignment tool shows the indices sitting well with no obvious crooked or badly rotated markers. 12 and 6 appear centered (slight tilt to the right) and the remaining hour markers look consistently aligned? I'm not too sure on this, the only ones I can be confident about that is aligned is the 11,12,1 and 2 markers.
  7. Dial Printing: Looks clean and crisp. Rolex/Cosmograph text and red DAYTONA printing appear properly positioned with no obvious bleeding or crooked printing.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A
  9. Hand Alignment: Looks good. Main hands appear properly aligned and the chronograph hands seem to reset correctly to their resting positions. No obvious hand alignment issue from the supplied photos/videos.
  10. Bezel: Looks good. The 60 marker at 12 appears centered with the dial/index alignment and I don't notice any significant rotational misalignment. Engravings look clean and consistent.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Look good from the supplied photos. No obvious excessive gaps or uneven fit between the SELs and lugs.
  12. Timegrapher numbers: +7 s/day, 254° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error, 28,800 BPH. Not too sure if these values are acceptable? Any opinion?
  13. Anything else you notice: Rehaut alignment looks acceptable from the available angles, bracelet/clasp finishing looks clean, lume appears even, and I don't see any obvious cosmetic defects. Would appreciate a second opinion specifically on the rehaut, bezel alignment, indices and anything I may have missed. Thanks all!!~~

How do you know which are ads and which are genuine halls

Hi all, i’m new to the rep scene and have seen many nice hauls, but sometimes i can’t help to feel it’s an agent/seller ad. How do you tell the difference?

Deciding on a watch to buy from FicoTime

I’m currently deciding between two watch styles. On one hand, I love the clean and minimalist look of the solid-dial Royal Oak designs. On the other, I love the intricate and sophisticated appearance of skeleton watches.

Which style do you think is more worth getting? I’ve included a few reference photos from FicoTime’s catalog and would love to hear your opinions! Have a great day!
