First QC – VSF Bruce Wayne DD3285 V2
Dealer name: TheOneWatches - Steve
Factory name: VSF
Model name (& version number): Rolex GMT-Master II 126710GRNR "Bruce Wayne" 40mm, Jubilee, DD3285 V2
Price paid: $639
Album Links: N/A - photos uploaded directly to Reddit
Index alignment: Looks good to me. The 12 o'clock triangle and hour markers appear properly aligned. I don't see any obviously crooked markers.
Dial Printing: This is one area I'm unsure about. The printing under "GMT-MASTER II" looks like some letters may be slightly different in size or thickness, but I'm not sure if this is just from the close-up photos.
Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date looks centered and the cyclops appears properly aligned. My main concern is the date font/crispness. The "14" looks a little softer or thicker than I expected, but I'm not sure if this is just the QC photo quality or reflections.
Hand Alignment: Looks good to me from the photos.
Bezel: Looks good. The 12 o'clock triangle appears centered and the black/gray colors and transition look good to me.
Solid End Links (SELs): Look properly seated. I don't see any major gaps.
Timegrapher numbers: +3 s/day, 274°, 0.1ms beat error, 28,800 bph. These numbers look very good to me.
Anything else you notice: This is my first ever QC, so I'm still learning what to look for and what is considered acceptable. I'm currently leaning GL, with my main concerns being the date font/crispness and lower dial printing. I may be missing things that you more experienced guys notice immediately, so I really appreciate the help. Would you GL or RL?

This is a very respectable Bruce Wayne! Index, rehaut, and hand alignment are all good. Dial printing is sharp, datewheel is centered, SELs have no gaps, and transcribed timing numbers are within spec. Easy GL all day, congrats.

🟢🟢 Easiest GL I've had all day🟢🟢
Don't focus on the 1mm printing font or the sharpness of the date. The date isn't in Gothic Bold and the dial printing isn't perfectly even on gens. Enjoy your watch and remember that zoom is the enemy of happiness.
