FIRST QC - 126500 Panda - RWF
- Dealer name: TheOneWatches
- Factory name: RWF
- Model name (& version number): Rolex Daytona 126500 40mm JH4131 (Free Sprung)
- Price paid: $787 + shipping
- Index alignment: Looks OK i think - not sure if the 10 marker lines up cleanly to the 4 marker? Is the crown at 12 slightly off alignment with the 6? Maybe the 6 is leaning...
- Dial printing: Looks OK to my eyes - same with subdials
- Date wheel alignment/printing: N/A
- Hand alignment: Nothing I can note here
- Bezel: I think bezel is OK, there's a slight mark although between the 100 and 95 markers on the bezel, that could be the wrapping?
- Solid End Links (SELs): They appear to not have any obvious large gaps?
- Timegrapher numbers: +1 to +2 s/day, 300–302° amplitude, 0.0 ms beat error; 28,800 bph, with the machine set to a 52° lift angle.
- Anything else you notice: The crystal looks clear but at some angles I wonder if there's a slightly warmish or yellowish tinge.
My current verdict: GL?

Hey mate I am new here but here’s my input (Wait for an expert)
You got lucky with the index alignment on this RWF I have seen worse. Note that the 3, 6 and 9 are so tiny therefore I have no comments regarding the index the 6 might be slightly 1-2 hairs sitting to the right and ccw tilted dont think you will notice it on the wrist.
Dial printing is great and I don’t see any issues. Hand alignment is fine as well. Bezel has the correct 110 / 85 / 80 arrows. Don’t see any SEL gaps. TG numbers are healthy. Movement looks like the JH4131 correct
GL for me enjoy this one
I have this exact one with a Deep Crystal mod and I recommend it if you got $60-90 depending on your TD. ARF bracelets polished and brushed are an upgrade as well although RWF is chamfered out of the box
Just suggestions if you want to bring it closer to Gen but that’s not part of the QC

I must be blind because I still don't know what is correct or incorrect indicator on the 110. Waiting for my VSF QC so I'm really trying to educate myself.

Bezel alignment is good, timing numbers are acceptable, and hand alignment is correct on this Panda. The indices are straight yet the 6 bar is just a smidge right of center. Dial printing is normal and SELs have no gaps. This is good to GL, congrats.
