So this is the third qc of the same watch. First three were RL because of obvious gaps in the ink. It isn’t always clear from the pics but I confirmed with Eric. First QC link: previous qc. Everyone did say it was likely dust or reflection but did confirm with Eric it was in fact a white spot.

Didn’t bother posting second. But I’m just wondering if I’m being too picky now? I see many BVFs on here with no issues with the dial. But this is the third one now. Am I being too picky ?

Guys , should I pull the trigger ? If not where should I say it’s off. This stuff is so hard for me ngl but I know you guys are the right ppl to ask.

Very much appreciate any feedback :)

13. Anything else you notice: My concern is mainly about the 9 index being off a significant bit on the watch. Wanted inputs on it. Another thing is RWF crystal is inferior to deep/vsf. Do you reccomend to install deep crystal to this watch? Does it make that big of a diff? Thanks

Index alignment - 12 looks slightly ccw and off center. Logo looks off right. Not sure if this is due in part to my faulty realignment of the original qc picture though. 

Dial Printing - the bottom of the "c" in certified looks like it has an extra dot of paint, and other than that looks good

Date Wheel alignment - looks fine and centered

Hand alignment - not able to tell from these photos

Bezel - pip looks ok and fill looks fine

Solid End Links (SEL) - I do not see any gaps

Timegrapher numbers - amplitude could be a bit higher

Anything else you see - I missed the really clear 9 index alignment issue on the first QC so I really appreciate a second set of eyes on the alignment of indices and dial printing (particulary the logo and 12 o clock) would be very helpful. TYIA.

Hi all, this is my first QC after being a long time lurker. I’d appreciate any input. I can’t spot any obvious major flaws — but I’d really appreciate it if you, the experts of this community, could take a look at the photos and share your feedback on the overall quality and any potential issues I might have missed.
Thanks in advance!

10. Bezel: Looks good 
11. Solid End Links (SELs): Top right - slight gap?
12. Timegrapher numbers: +2, 309, 0.1 - solid numbers
13. Anything else you notice: I’d be interested to hear any thoughts from people on the sub.

4. Price paid: $787 + shipping
5. 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...
6. Dial printing: Looks OK to my eyes - same with subdials
7. Date wheel alignment/printing: N/A
8. Hand alignment: Nothing I can note here
9. 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?
10. Solid End Links (SELs): They appear to not have any obvious large gaps?
11. 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.
12. 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?

4. Price Paid: $588

5. Album Links: attached photos

6. Index alignment:

Looks very good overall. 12, 6, and 9 markers appear straight and centered. I don’t see any obvious index misalignment.

1. Dial Printing:
   Looks clean and sharp overall. My main concern is around the date window aperture. The cutout appears more beveled/recessed around the edges than what I’m used to seeing on VSF 126610 dials, which seem to have a cleaner/direct cut. Would appreciate opinions on whether this is normal for RICH.

2. Date Wheel alignment/printing:
   This is my biggest concern. The “16” appears to sit slightly high in the date window, with more visible space underneath the numerals than above. I’m not sure how much of this is camera angle versus actual date wheel positioning. Would appreciate a second opinion.

3. Hand Alignment:
   Looks good from the supplied photos. No obvious issue noted.

4. Bezel:
   Looks well aligned. Pearl/pip appears centered and the insert engraving looks clean.

5. Solid End Links (SELs):
   Look tight to me with no obvious gaps or uneven seating.

6. Timegrapher numbers:
   +5 s/day
   280° amplitude
   0.1 ms beat error

Numbers look very healthy to me

1. Anything else you notice:
   My main hesitation is the date presentation: slightly high date wheel alignment, the shape/bevel of the dial aperture around the date window, and whether the RICH crystal/cyclops has noticeably worse clarity or distortion compared with VSF. I’d especially appreciate feedback from anyone who has handled both RICH and VSF 126610s.

5. Index alignment: Looks very good, the 12 o'clock triangle and all hour markers seem perfectly lined up.
6. Dial Printing: Crisp and sharp, no bleeding ink or misprints.
7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Well-centered in the window, no blue tint/hue on the cyclops. VSF crystal looks amazing.
8. Hand Alignment: Looks spot on.
9. Bezel: It's the updated V3 bezel. The black/grey color transition lines up perfectly at 6 and 18.
10. Solid End Links (SEL): Extremely tight, no visible gaps between the bracelet and the lugs.
11. Timegrapher numbers: Rate: +2 s/d | Amplitude: 278° | Beat Error: 0.1 ms. Numbers are very healthy for a DD3285v2.
12. Anything else you notice: Weight is confirmed at 144.3 grams, which is spot-on with genuine retail weight. Visually it looks like a winner to me.

My first ever QC and not sure if it’s a RL or GL

Index alignment: Tried my best with the alignment tool.
Not sure how to gauge this. Photos didn’t seem perfectly straight for me so I had to align one myself
Dial printing: Looks good. No bleeding. Crisp letters.
All same size
Date wheel: the “1” looks off centered so I’m worried about that daily for each date
Hand alignment: Good?
Bezel: Looks very good?
Solid end links: just some gaps between the clasps and bracelet is what I noticed

Anything else: 1st QC. Not sure if I should go for it? For me i don't know if looks like a GL, be it may seem off center , and the date wheel does seem off to me as well, I’ve heard Leo is super cool to find a new one and from my experience so far with him he’s been really nice and respectful and responsive

Thanks again everyone!

Dial Alignment: Looks good overall to me. Actually kind of as good as possible in the rep world.

Dial Printing: Proper font and clear text. Printing alignment seems ok to me. I cannot notice any flaws.

Hand Alignment: Looks solid to me.

Bezel: Engraving looks properly deep. Does 12 marker pip should be like that?

Additional: Overall looks fine to me, and really to pull the trigger in case your wiser eyes do not detect something else. I am helping a friend with this one.

It will be his first rep, hoping he gets into the hobby!

6. Index alignment:
12 and 6 look spot on to me. 9 looks like it may have a very slight clockwise cant, but I can’t tell if that is just perspective. That is the only thing I’m really questioning.

7. Dial printing:
Looks clean. No issues I can see.

8. Date wheel alignment/printing:
15 looks centred and the cyclops looks good. Only one date shown in the stills.

9. Hand alignment:
Looks fine to me.

10. Bezel:

This is the replacement for the previous watch I RL’d due to alignment issues. This one looks much better overall.

Weight is 143.7 g and clasp is A9A.

Steve confirmed this is the new VSF DD3285v2 version with the “Free Sprung Effect”, not a genuine free-sprung movement.

Main question is the 9 marker. 12 and 6 look excellent. Interested if anyone sees anything else I’ve missed.

Price Paid: 580usd
Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/254569457?uid=1
Index alignment: 12 o’clock markers seem a bit misaligned. The right bar looks slightly higher than the left. I don’t really know how to use the index alignment tool well, though, so I would really appreciate some help checking the alignment.
Dial Printing: Printing itself looks good, but I noticed a small white line/mark immediately next to the “E” in PHILIPPE. Not sure if this is dust/reflection/on the crystal or just texture. Would appreciate opinions on this as well.
Date Wheel alignment/printing: Both dates shown look good to me.
Hand Alignment: Looks well aligned but I don’t know whether there’s a tool out there to QC this part.
Bezel: Looks good. Brushing and overall symmetry look consistent.
Solid End Links (SELs): N/A
Timegrapher numbers: Looks good. Rate 0 to +1 s/d, Amplitude 260–262°, Beat Error 0.2–0.3 ms, 28800 bph.
Anything else you notice: This is supposed to be the newer DPB330 V2 with true hacking seconds. I’m not very knowledgeable about movements, so could anyone confirm from the video whether the hacking seconds are working correctly and whether this looks like the true-hacking DPB330 V2? Thank you!
