Talking with TD's in Chinese

Anyone else use chatgpt/claude/gemini to translate and reply to TD's in Chinese? I used to use english but ever since I switched to chinese I feel like I'm getting more detailed replies about QC, stock, etc.

Definitely not a hack for better service or anything but if it makes communication easier, I'm all for it. Thoughts?

First QC - BVF Cartier Santos Medium SS

  1. ⁠Dealer Name: Angela
  2. ⁠Factory Name: BVF
  3. ⁠Model Name: Cartier Santos de Cartier 35mm SS White Dial A9015 V2
  4. ⁠Price Paid: $385 USD shipping included
  5. ⁠Album: https://imgur.com/a/yanuHyK
  6. ⁠Index alignment: Printed dial
  7. ⁠Dial Printing: There is a white dot in the middle of the 10. I can't tell if it's a print error or a dust particle since it changes shape in pics. Will ask about this.
  8. ⁠Date Wheel Alignment/Printing: n/a
  9. ⁠Hand Alignment: Can't tell because no video but honestly, a slight misalignment is something I'm okay with if it does happen to exist. I've requested a video so I'll check when I get it.
  10. ⁠Bezel: Looks good.
  11. ⁠Solid End Links (SEL): n/a
  12. ⁠Timegrapher Numbers: Requested, but I'm sure they'll be fine.
  13. ⁠Anything Else You Noticed: First QC for a watch. Just looking for a second, more seasoned, set of eyes to take a look. Biggest concern is speck on 10. Does this warrant a RL?

Upgrading to 9700x but keeping 3080FE

I was able to get my hands on some DDR5 at a good price so I'm looking to go to AM5.

I'm planning to go to a 9700x from a 5600x while keeping the same GPU (3080FE).

Is this too much CPU for my GPU or is it okay?
