QC, second try: RICH SUB DATE 26610 LN Black JH3235 V2 / PrimeTime
- QC ALBUM
- Dealer name: Primetime
- Factory name: RICH
- Model name (& version number): Submariner 41mm 126610 LN Black RICH JH3235 V2
- Price Paid: $498
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
