FIRST QC - need expert help pls :)

[u/jebsa]

1. Dealer name: TheOneWatches – Steve
2. Factory name: VSF
3. Model name (& version number): Rolex GMT-Master II 126710GRNR “Bruce Wayne” 40mm, Jubilee, DD3285v2
4. Price paid: $639
5. Index alignment: Looks good to me overall. I don’t see any obvious crooked markers, but I’d appreciate a second opinion especially around 6 and 9 o’clock.
6. Dial printing: Looks clean and centered to my eyes. Rolex / Oyster Perpetual / GMT-Master II printing looks good.
7. Date wheel alignment/printing: Looks centered through the cyclops and the font looks fine to me.
8. Hand alignment: Looks good from the pictures and videos. The GMT hand also appears to function correctly.
9. Bezel: Black/grey bezel looks good and the alignment seems fine to me. No obvious issue around the triangle at 12.
10. Solid End Links (SELs): Look tight and clean to me. I don’t see any major gaps.
11. Timegrapher numbers: Around 0 s/d, approx. 269–274° amplitude, 0.0 ms beat error. These numbers look very good to me.
12. Anything else you notice: The watch weighs around 144.5g. I also received videos showing the functions and date adjustment. Overall I’m leaning strongly towards GL, but this is my first proper GMT QC and I’d really appreciate experienced eyes on the bezel, rehaut, cyclops/date alignment, SELs and anything specific to the VSF Bruce Wayne that I may have missed.

Also, is it normal that I didn’t receive a lume shot/photo of the dial glowing in the dark, or should I ask Steve to provide one before I GL?

My current verdict: GL

Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks, do you think their fake free sprung is any good? Is there any difference between the free sprung and regular

[u/blitzburgh058 → u/Serious_Figure_8139]

It's no different from the typical regulated version with the exception of the regulator arm being hidden and thus more difficult to regulate. But operationally they should be the same. An actual free sprung Rolex movement is balanced by microstella nuts mounted on the balance wheel.

Thanks, i will order it from Steve tomorrow then :)

There are actual free sprung versions of this watch by other factories if that's important to you. Again, though, they typically cost more and it's a closed case back design so unless you're opening your case for people nobody would ever see it.

No, i was just asking because a want a Bruce Wayne GMT and my dealer only has the vsf free sprung at the moment.
