QC Notes
* Dial alignment: Looks good overall from the photos. I notice a possible very slight rotation/tilt in some angles, but this may just be due to perspective.
* Printing / “CARTIER”: The Cartier logo and dial printing look clean to me. I do not see any obvious bleeding, crooked logo, or major printing defect.
* Roman numerals: Numerals look sharp and consistent overall. The lower section near “SWISS MADE” is the area I would like extra opinions on, but nothing looks immediately bad.
* Hands: Blue hands look good, centered, and proportional for the dial.
* Case / finishing: Yellow-gold tone case looks clean. No obvious scratches, dents, or plating issues visible in the QC photos.
* Crown / cabochon: Crown looks aligned and the blue cabochon appears properly seated.
* Caseback: Caseback engraving/stickers look typical for F1F. No major concern from the photos.
* Strap / buckle: Brown alligator-style strap looks okay. It appears a bit glossy, but that seems common and can be replaced later if needed.
* Overall condition: No obvious major defects visible from the pictures.
My thoughts
This is my QC for a F1F Cartier Tank Louis 22mm quartz from Steve. For the price, it looks like a solid piece to me. My only small concern is whether the dial is perfectly straight, but I think it may just be camera angle.
Would you GL or RL this one? Any help is appreciated!
