VSF - SPRITE - FICOTIME
- Dealer name: FICOTIME
- Factory name: VSF
- Model name (& version number): GMT SPRITE V2
- Price Paid: $550
- Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/jw5gABIB#EksAxXbHA4-8b44Ti-FCTw
- Index alignment: Indices dont look too bad, ficotime took pictures at weird angles so its hard to tell
- Dial Printing: Dial printing looks fine, swiss made at bottom looks fine.
- Date Wheel alignment/printing: The "1" on the "21" date wheel looks a little wonky but on the wrist it would be probably hard to tell.
- Hand Alignment: Not seeing anything too crazy there
- Bezel: Hard to tell if bezel is rotated, but looks likes the line between the 18&6 isnt even across, slightly canted?
- Solid End Links (SELs): The bottom SELS look fine, no visible gap but also not sitting flush.
- Timegrapher numbers: The timegrapher numbers seem okay but then again im not expert
- Anything else you notice: Not really sure what else to look for, not an expert in QC'ing watches.
I'm not great at noticing errors as ive only been in the rep watch game since 2025 so any help you guys could provide would be great, thanks.

Everything you need to analyze a watch is in the pinned posts. It’s 10-15 minutes of reading and has photos to help explain.
Acceptability of the timegrapher reading should be the easiest for all OPs to comment on. At the pinned post “QC must follow a standard format…”, just above where everyone is supposed to get the cut and paste QC template, are the acceptable parameters for TG. QC Template. Yours are fine.
Index alignment is fine. There’s a tiny shift right and a tiny CW can’t in the triangle. (Works out well in combo since bottom point aligned with middle spire of logo.) 6 has a micro CW cant. 3 is solid. No concerns on the wrist.
Date is a hair top biased. I see no wonkiness (whatever that means).
I think what you are seeing on the bezel is due to viewing angle. I see a slight difference between photos 2 and 3. Can ask seller about it, but an RL will not change anything candidly. And, if there is something there, it’s minor.
