  • Price Paid: $438 (+shipping)
  • Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/zhR3HCha#Vkje39zyzJ-iBIAdlrHFaQ
  • Index alignment: I can't see any issues
  • Dial Printing: The printing on "SWISS MADE" at the bottom looks off to me. The D in made looks too big and the A looks too small. The lettering on SWISS also looks uneven. It looks kind of bad or am I crazy? The photos of the stock one on the necoclock website also look like this.
  • Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks okay, the 21 date might be slightly misaligned to the right?
  • Hand Alignment: Can't really tell from the photos
  • Bezel: Looks okay
  • Solid End Links (SELs): Can't see any gaps
  • Timegrapher numbers: +2s/day
  • Anything else you notice: Mainly concerned with the dial printing, is it bad enough to RL? Am I crazy?

Nautilus 5711 QC

Factory name: DDF Factory

Model name (& version number): Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 Blue Dial Stainless Steel

Price Paid: $530 USD shipped

Album Links: Photos attached above

Index alignment: Appears aligned from what I can tell, but I’d appreciate a second opinion. I’m mainly looking for any noticeably uneven, crooked, or inconsistent markers, especially around 6 and 12 o’clock.

Dial Printing: Looks clean and sharp to me, but I may be missing small details. I’d appreciate a second opinion on the font, spacing, centering, and overall crispness of the printing.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: Appears centered and clear from the photos. I’d appreciate confirmation that the date is properly positioned within the window and that the printing/font looks correct.
Hand Alignment: Looks normal to me with no obvious issues noticed. Please let me know if you see anything off with the hand positioning, alignment, or finishing.

Bezel: Looks consistent from what I can see. I’d appreciate a second opinion on the symmetry, finishing, alignment with the dial, and whether there are any noticeable issues with the bezel shape or brushing/polishing.

Solid End Links (SELs): N/A

Timegrapher numbers: +1 s/d, 271° amplitude, 0.0ms beat error, 28800 bph

Anything else you notice: I’m mainly looking for a GL or RL. The timegrapher numbers look very good to me, but I’m still learning QC and would appreciate experienced opinions on anything I may have missed, especially small visual details in the dial, indices, date wheel, hands, bezel, case, or bracelet.

Daytona 116509 VSF V3 Super Clone QC Help

  1. Dealer name: Steve - TheOneWatch
  2. Factory name: VSF
  3. Model name (& version number): Daytona 116509 40mm SS/SS Grey/Blk VSF V3 DD4130 Super Clone (Gain Weight)
  4. Price Paid: $650
  5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/GIQU2AgT#vDAYJNuuEhKN4_qVcMhTPQ
  6. Index alignment: Almost perfect, 10, 11, and 12 seem like they may be slightly off of directly opposite 4, 5, and 6, but not bad enough to warrant a replacement.
  7. Dial Printing: Is that some kind of artifact in between 2 & 3? I also think maybe I see some glue at the 7 marker or I am zooming in too far and its image resolution.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: The wheel on the right side may be ever so slightly rotated counter clockwise.
  9. Hand Alignment: Second hand is just barely not perfectly aligned at 12, but doesn't warrant RL to me.
  10. Bezel: Looks good if those aren't scratches around the 60 mark.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Biggest gap on bottom right but still appears to be pretty tight. The rest look perfect.
  12. Timegrapher numbers: +2s/d, within range.
  13. Anything else you notice: Are those scratches on the top of the bezel or just polish remnants? I don't see them in every photo but in the straight on close-ups I can see something there in the light.

Overall, it seems pretty good to me. I feel comfortable giving it the greenlight. I would be very interested in what the amazing minds in this group think and observe.

Thank you in advance

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!

VSF V3 Pepsi GMT Master II 126710 DD3285 - QC Help

Hi Team, it has been a few years since my last rep. Excited to get back in the game and appreciate your helps.

Dealer name: Steve The One

Factory name: VSF

Model name (& version number): VSF V3 Pepsi GMT Master II 126710 DD3285

Price Paid: $638

Album Links: Added to post - Link from Steve

Index alignment: The 12 o'clock marker looks tilted clockwise to me. The center position of the 12 marker appears reasonably aligned with 6, but the actual marker itself seems rotated clockwise that bothers me a little. The other indices look generally well aligned?

Dial Printing: Looks good to me. Rolex coronet, text, and minute track appear clean and properly printed.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: The date looks centered in the date window, and the cyclops appears properly aligned. Not sure if I need to request a picture with a different date.

Hand Alignment: Looks good to me and seem properly aligned with no obvious issues.

Bezel: Looks good overall. The bezel numerals and markers appear clean. “Pepsi” color transition also looks good. Nothing obviously concerning. I didn’t look too detailed on the colors as we can’t really judge the colors through pictures but let me know of any concerns.

Solid End Links (SELs): Look fine to me. I don't see any significant gaps between the SELs and the case, and the bracelet appears to sit evenly against the lugs.

Timegrapher numbers: seems fine and no concern.

Anything else you notice: nothing else I thought worth noting but I would appreciate your thoughts here. The biggest concern I have is the index specifically the12.

QC help - ZF AP 15450 37mm White Dial

  • ⁠Dealer name: Steve (TheOneWatches)
  • ⁠Factory name: ZF
  • ⁠Model name (& version number): Royal Oak ref.15450 37mm white dial
  • Price Paid: $470USD shipped
  • Album Links: Add all pictures provided to me from TD to post
  • Index alignment: Based off the pictures provided to me it doesn't look great but not terrible and I think the picture might be slight titled vertically causing the issue or perhaps it me. The 6 index looks like its slightly leaning to the left from the top. Apart from that 12 looks spot on and 9/3 look acceptable.
  • Dial Printing: Looks great nothing remarkable AP logo at 12 doesn't seem all that straight, kinda looks like its tilting to the right ever so slightly.
  • ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: This also looks good both the alignment and printing, if I nitpick I would say its slight more left than it should be.
  • Hand Alignment: Looks perfectly symmetrically to me when they were on 12
  • ⁠Bezel: The bezel bolts don't look to be symmetrical, bolts 4,5,7,8 look misaligned unless its the picture causing the issue.
  • Solid End Links (SELs): These look fine just as they should be, not much to say about it
  • ⁠Timegrapher numbers: +4s, 272 amp, 52 degree angle, which is pretty good. In the video he sent the rate went from +3s to +4s.
  • Anything else you notice: The finishing looks great! What do you guys think? Should I GL this?

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?
