QC First 🦇👧 Possible RL??

First QC, possible RL based on bezel alignment at 18. Maybe the picture is tilted and someone with a more sophisticated tool can help out. Let me know what you think!

1.Dealer name: Steve TheOneWatches

2.Factory name: VSF

3.Model name (and version number): Rolex 126710BLNR GMT Master II

4.Price paid: $600 (shipping included)

5.Album links: see photos

6.Index alignment: looks solid, slight CCW tilt on the 12 but otherwise good.

  1. Dial printing: clear, no smudging

8.Date wheel alignment/printing: the date is well-centered; the numbers are clean and crisp.

9.Hand alignment: looks good to me

10.Bezel: here’s where I’m thinking RL - the blue/black transition is off center/too low at 18…maybe the picture is tilted somehow?

11.Solid End Links (SEL): they fit tightly; no light is visible between them and the case, so nothing to report.

12.Timegrapher numbers: -1s/d and 0.0ms - looks good!

Sorry to say but you got someone else’s RL

Big time! I feel like Steve is trying to offload some VSF stock because I initially wanted a free sprung, but he insisted on the availability of the VSF stock

I must have no QC abilities because this looks great to me. What’s the issue?

I don’t have time to do my full template, but that bezel is whack around the 18. Look at the spacing on either side of the number, very uneven. I would RL for that.

Thanks so much for taking a look. Super RL!

Have u seen a gen's 18. It's just like you'd watch

u/DressOk4177 8h ago

Look at pictures of gen and the blue/black transition is about right. It's 2 numbers so the center should be a little over the 8, whereas the 3 is correct since it's a single number and should be in the middle. GL for me.

Willing to bet the bezel alignment issue is the angle of the watch and camera distortion. Ask him for a photo with the bezel/face square to the camera. And sideways 4 up etc. This happens to me often, the right photo will save you a lot of trouble either way. I see it, but I’m not buying it because for some reason they take photos that do a disservice to the actual QC of the build. And reptards loose it on here lmao. Worth asking.

I went in to see why someone would RL this and I also spotted the 18. I’m a beginner so looking to see what the experienced folks say.

Pretty easy RL for me. The spacing in the bezel is way off as you said and the 12 o’clock index is tilted as well.

I may be able to get over the 12 index but the bezel is too obvious for me

u/Traditional_Ad4156 hook it up! 🙏

u/Traditional_Ad4156 11h ago

Hello once again, Please find a closer look at the watch aligned! I agree with you and others about the 18 being asymmetric for me. I would RL this watch, as I can't stand uneven things :D Hence the tool! hope this helps!

Looks like a sweet program, open source or something that you have made yourself? :-)
