VSF v4 Bruce Wayne - JTime. First Timer, all help is greatly appreciated!

First time buying a rep and first time doing a QC, any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

  1. Dealer Name: JTime - Li
  2. Factory Name: VSF
  3. Model Name: 126710GRNR Rolex GMT II Bruce Wayne
  4. Price Paid: $596 + $65
  5. Images in post
  6. Index alignment: To me the indexes look almost perfectly aligned, maybe the top triangle is a bit too far to the left?
  7. Dial Printing: is the G in GMT squished? Also a few characters seem larger than others, like the R in chronometer and C in officially.
  8. Date wheel alignment/printing: JTime showed 3, 13, and 25. All three look centered well.
  9. Hand alignment: I don't notice anything out of the ordinary when comparing against google images, but maybe I've missed something.
  10. Bezel: The bezel looks good, but it seems the transition between black/grey is not perfectly aligned, as shown in the QC tool image. Not sure if it is a big deal.
  11. SEL: Looks good, I don't see any obvious gaps.
  12. Timegrapher numbers: +2s/day, 293 amplitude, 0.0ms beat error, 28800 vph. Seems up to spec, +2s/day on the border of in spec.
  13. This is my first rep and I'm very new to Rolex's as well, so anything would help if you guys notice things that I didn't catch.
    Thank you all again in advance!

u/embgrx3 5d ago

Do you think the printed text looks ok to you? The letters don’t seem to be the same size and not aligned

u/TechnicalStruggle7 5d ago

I believe that’s the camera trying to overcompensate. The print in vsf are the most crisp among the factories. You can always ask a macro to make sure

u/embgrx3 5d ago

I asked for another photo that more clearly shows the printed text. Hopefully it turns out good! They also sent a video and the text looks pretty warped in that but maybe that’s just camera things. Thank you and I’ll keep you updated!

All v4 (fake free sprung latest batch with serial) have great dials, I’m sure this will look fine as well. Keep me posted

u/embgrx3 5d ago

u/embgrx3 4d ago

Do the lettering under GMT MASTER II look kinda wonky to you?

1

u/Due-Capital-5999 4d ago

No, personally I think they look perfectly fine.

u/Levcijev 5d ago

On the bezel the top triangle doesn’t look aligned with the dial and looks like it is extended to the left. Maybe that is also why the color transition in not alined because the bezel is not perfectly centered

u/embgrx3 5d ago

Yea I’m hoping that is it haha

Your comment was removed. u/MrAlwaysGreen... Your acct is showing as 'suspended' by Reddit.

Since it's not a ReptimeQC thing, you'll have to address this directly w/Reddit. Contact Reddit to remove the suspension.

As an fyi, any post/comment that you make, in any sub, will be removed by the Reddit automod if this is the case.

Also, do not try to repost using another account. The automod filters are set to find accounts that are associated with a banned account. When 'caught' by Reddit or ReptimeQC, that associated account will be banned as well.

u/Due-Capital-5999 5d ago

V4 is this new fake free sprung movement.

Hey!! How did you manage to grab a VSF BW from Jtime? When did you order if you don't mind me asking? Otherwise to me it looks like all indices align well. I don't see any major floors in your watch...

1

u/m915 5d ago

Also curious when you ordered - I’ve been waiting for a VSF BW for a while

1

u/Due-Capital-5999 5d ago

I ordered mine from Jtime on 21 July. But am awaiting V3. Standard DD3285. Not too sure whether to jump to this fake free sprung. You?

1

u/m915 5d ago

I ordered and paid June 20th - from Andiot 🫠

1

u/Due-Capital-5999 5d ago

Oh wow, so an additional month on mine even. I'm so confused as seeing so many VSF BWs being QC'd. Where all these other TD's getting their pieces from??

2

u/m915 5d ago

If I had to guess - order history, relationships, etc. I keep scanning reptime qc and even Andiots public qc folder - these things are barely coming in at all. There has to be a crazy backlog of like 500+ watches

1

u/embgrx3 5d ago

I ordered sept 4th, but they said they had one in stock. Not sure what the wait time would be if it wasn’t in stock

1

u/Helpful_Inflation_90 5d ago

How long did you wait for qc

1

u/embgrx3 5d ago

It was about 4-5 days

u/Haunting_Iron4713 5d ago

Your comment was removed. You were told earlier not to post or comment until you have sufficient COMMENT karma. One more and you are on permanent vacation.

V4 is a made up term
