QC, second try: RICH SUB DATE 26610 LN Black JH3235 V2 / PrimeTime

  1. QC ALBUM
  2. Dealer name: Primetime
  3. Factory name: RICH
  4. Model name (& version number): Submariner 41mm 126610 LN Black RICH JH3235 V2
  5. Price Paid: $498
  6. Index alignment: Looks very good overall. The 12 marker may have a very slight CCW cant, but it is tiny and I really cannot imagine it being noticeable on wrist. The 6 and 9 markers look straight, and the remaining indices track the alignment lines very well. The 12 marker also appears well centered relative to the dial and bezel. I would be splitting hairs to find anything significant here.
  7. Dial Printing: Printing looks sharp and clean to me. ROLEX/coronet and the lower SUBMARINER text block look well centered, with no obvious crooked or fuzzy printing.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing**:** The date shown looks good overall. The “1” may sits low in the window, but I need help figuring out is it sitting too low or within the acceptable range.
  9. Hand Alignment**:** Nothing looks concerning from the supplied pictures. There is no true 12:00 hand-alignment shot here, so I cannot verify it perfectly, but visually the hand stack and placement look good.
  10. Bezel: Looks good. The pip/triangle and 12 marker are very close to properly aligned. If there is any tiny rotational offset, it looks within the normal play of a rotating bezel and should be easy to center in hand.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Look tight to me. I do not see any obvious excessive gaps or uneven fit from the front or side pictures.
  12. Timegrapher numbers: +4 s/d, 288° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error at 52° lift angle. These are very good numbers. Healthy amplitude, very low beat error, and the rate is comfortably acceptable.
  13. Anything else you notice: No, not really. Overall I think this is a strong GL. The only thing I can really pick at is the microscopic CCW cant of the 12 marker and possibly the date sitting a low, and both are firmly in “zoomed-in QC nitpick” territory rather than something I would expect to notice on the wrist.

This is my second time as the first one was a RL due to date wheel defect, what do you think: does the date sits too low or is it fine?

QC: RCF BLUESY Submariner 41mm 126613 LB SS/YG Blue Ceramic VR3235 (Weighted)

  1. QC ALBUM
  2. Dealer name: Primetime
  3. Factory name: RFC
  4. Model name (& version number): Submariner 41mm 126613 LB
  5. Price Paid: $888
  6. Index alignment: Looks great, 2 marker is about 0.5° off.
  7. Dial Printing: The overall block is centered well on the vertical axis. The SWISS MADE positioning at 6 also looks very good. The vertical axis lands almost exactly where you'd expect. I don't see obvious crooked printing, inconsistent baseline, or a glaring lateral shift.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks centered and good. Spacing between 1 and 6 looks reasonable as well.
  9. Hand Alignment: Looks great to my eyes
  10. Bezel: Good, pip might be displaced by a about 0.5° clockwise. I can see that the magenta 12 o’clock line passes slightly left of the center of the pearl
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): not a big gap, looks ok on photos
  12. Timegrapher numbers: Beat: 28800, rate +004s/d, amplitude: 303, beat error: 0.3 ms, lift angle 52. All acceptable.
  13. Anything else you notice: No, not really. SELs pictures maybe inadequate to get a good look at it.

Honestly I think this is the best they come. I will really appreciate the feedback in case I missed something obvious, huge GL for me.
