Attempt #2 at a RICH V2 GMT Master II Batgirl

  1. Dealer name: Andiot
  2. Factory name: RICH
  3. Model name (& version number): GMT-Master II 126710 RICH JH3285 V2
  4. Price Paid: $580 + $68 shipping = 648 USD
  5. Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/251166049?uid=1
  6. Index alignment: Looks like 9 has a slight CCW cant, and 6 might be slightly to the left.
  7. Dial Printing: Looks good to me
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: It might be a hair left of center but overall I'm happy with it.
  9. Hand Alignment: I'm honestly not 100% sure what to look for here, but in Andiot's video I don't see anything wrong with the hands when he moves them to 12:00.
  10. Bezel: Color change, cuts, engravings, pip look good to me.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): No gaps, all good here!
  12. Timegrapher numbers: 2s/d 275deg 0.3ms 52deg. Normalizing for 55deg amplitude becomes 290 and for 58 it becomes 305. Sounds a little high, is this a concern?
  13. Anything else you notice: All things considered I'm leaning towards a GL here I think! I'm not quite sure how noticable the 9 will be on wrist, or if the timegrapher numbers are at all a concern, but everything else looks great. Thank you all in advance!

RICH GMT Master II Batgirl V2

  1. Dealer name: Andiot
  2. Factory name: RICH
  3. Model name (& version number): GMT-Master II 126710 BLNR 904L Steel RICH JH3285 V2
  4. Price Paid: $580 + $68 shipping = 648 USD
  5. Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/search/album?uid=1&sort=&q=153226
  6. Index alignment: Overall looks very solid. 4 might be a hair clockwise and 12 looks like it’s rotated ever so slightly counterclockwise.
  7. Dial Printing: Looks good, don’t see anything off.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks like it might be slightly off to the left, but looks acceptable.
  9. Hand Alignment: Looks good
  10. Bezel: I know the bezel moves, so I’m assuming the pip being off to the right is acceptable. I do think the color change on 9 is “short”, not reaching as far as it should. From my research, the color change itself appears to happen in the correct place relative to the “6” and “18”.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): No gaps
  12. Timegrapher numbers: -4s/d 261deg 0.1ms 52deg. Numbers look to be acceptable.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with everything other than the bezel concerns I have. Could I expect something better if I RLed this?

Thank you for your time!

VSF V2 DateJust 36mm Silver Dial

Hello! This is my first QC, so my use of the index alignment tool may not be perfect.

  1. Dealer name: TimeUltra

  2. Factory name: VSF

  3. Model name (& version number): Datejust 36mm 126234 V2, silver dial fluted bezel jubilee bracelet

  4. Price Paid: 488+50 shipping = 538 USD

  5. Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/B5Wpb1U

  6. Index alignment: Looks pretty good, no major issues. I've tried the tool a couple times and get relatively consistent results.

  7. Dial Printing: Looks pretty good to me. I'm comparing to gens and for the most part I think they look the same. I don't see any bleeding or weird font on the text, and the spacing looks correct.

  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: In some pictures, the wheel looks shifted slightly to the left. This could be the angle, and honestly is probably at an acceptable level either way. Print (at least for the numbers visible) look sharp, with both numbers lined up properly as well.

  9. Hand Alignment: Looks good, all hands look like they are mounted properly and don't look damaged in any way.

  10. Bezel: Looks good, I know this is supposedly the "tell", does this watch match up with what's expected of VSFs? As far as I can tell, the spacing and finishing looks solid, and there aren't any weird inconsistencies.

  11. Solid End Links (SELs): The bottom SELs look to be covered up by plastic and I’m having a hard time judging them. I don’t see any light leaking through though, so leaning towards them being OK. Top SELs look fine, black line with no light leaking through.

  12. Timegrapher numbers: -1 s/d 290deg 0.0ms 52deg 28800. All numbers look to be within expected ranges. Timegrapher video is also in the Imgur album.

  13. Anything else you notice: Crown at 12 looks ever so slightly off to the right in some pictures, but perfectly centered in others.

Overall, I'm personally leaning towards a GL for this. Is there anything major I missed?

Thank you for your time!
