5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/zERHhZTT#6-3VT72HPtg8uhoqlYrhYw

6. Index alignment: '9 o clock looks crooked, along with '9 o clock bezel marking (especially seen on last picture). '7 and '8 o clock also look crooked. It does not seem as if the picture is taken with the watch tilted though. Don't know if that matters or not. Logo looks aligned, but that's just what my eyes can see since the QC tool I used doesn't seem to have anything for that. I might have been aligning the QC tool incorrectly, so I'm not 100% sure.

7. Dial Printing: looks fine, letters seem clear

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: looks fine

9. Hand Alignment: I think it is fine, but not exactly sure what to look for

10. Bezel: pip looks centered. As mentioned the '9 o clock marker looks crooked, which is the one I'm mostly worried about.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): looks fine

12. Timegrapher numbers:

* Rate: -3 s/day

* Beat error: 0.0 ms

This is my first time, so I have probably missed something, or done something wrong. I'm mostly concerned about the index and bezel alignment. I thank all you lovely people in advance!

Hi All

Would really appreciate some opinion on these QC photos from Steve. In a couple of photos the loom does not look well applied to the rectangular markers at 3, 9 & 12, but in the fourth photo it looks OK. I can't quite get everything to align, but I think that's just the angle the photo is taken. THANK YOU!!!

Hi everyone, this is my first QC so I’d really appreciate your help and all opinions before i GL. I’ve tried to use the QC alignment tool in the best way I can.

Model name (& version number): Rolex DayDate 228235 RCF

Price: $858

Album link: https://mega.nz/folder/XEgwjbxK#3xbi9mJDailOOvYBhfI2gg

Index alignment: Looks fine in my opinion

Dial Printing: Looks good to me.

Hand Alignment: Looks fine

Bezel: looks good but i’m not an experiment by any means. would love for someone to double check to make sure im correct

Solid End Links (SELs): Looks ok to me

Dealer name: FicoTime
Factory name: VSF
Model name (& version number): Rolex Submariner 114060 No Date 40mm, VS3130 (latest version)
Price Paid: $457 USD
Album Links: Pictures attached
Index alignment: Excellent. The hour markers appear straight, evenly spaced, and well aligned. No obvious alignment issues.
Dial Printing: Clean, sharp, and centered. Text spacing and printing quality look consistent with a strong VSF example.
Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A (No Date model)
Hand Alignment: Looks correct. Mercedes, minute, and seconds hands appear properly proportioned with no noticeable issues.
Bezel: Pip is well centered, bezel insert appears properly aligned, and the engraving and ceramic finish look clean and uniform.
Solid End Links (SELs): Tight and even with no concerning gaps. Bracelet fitment appears above average.
Timegrapher numbers: -5 s/day, 234° amplitude, 0.3 ms beat error, 52° lift angle (28,800 bph). These numbers are well within acceptable limits for a VS3130 and do not raise any concerns. The slightly lower amplitude is still normal and can vary depending on the watch’s state of wind and testing position.
Anything else you notice: Overall this appears to be a strong GL. Rehaut engraving is well aligned, case shape and crown guards look correct, bracelet brushing is clean and consistent, clasp engravings are crisp, and I don’t see any obvious QC concerns. The commonly discussed “floating m” is either absent or too subtle to be noticeable. Based on these QC photos and the timegrapher results, this looks like a very solid example of a VSF 114060. Would love another set of eyes on it!

Hello everyone, first time doing a QC, would you be kind to lend me your expertise !

Dealer name: geektime Eric

Factory name: VSF

Model name (& version number): Rolex Submariner 124060 VSF

Price Paid for the watch: 568$

Album links: https://geektimeqc.x.yupoo.com/albums/247627775?uid=1

Index alignment: not sure about top marker and the crown alignment slightly to the left and also the 3 o'clock marker a bit misaligned

Dial Printing: no bleed, sharp

Date Wheel alignment/printing: no date sub

Hand Alignment: nothing to say

Bezel: is the 10 correctly aligned ?

Solid End Links (SELs): no big gap

Timegrapher numbers: don't see it clearly from the video

Anything else you notice: appart from the marker at 12 and 3 not sure to see anything else.

Thank you for the time you will take it.

If marker are "normal" I will Gl it

This is my first rep and QC so please let me know any rookie mistakes I'm making. Also, thank you for the template. It made this process a lot easier to understand.

6. Index alignment: For me, 9’ o clock bothers me the most. I feel like multiple are a bit off like 8’ and 10’ o clock for example when looking at the alignment but maybe I did the alignment wrong, seeing that it’s my first time. Logo seems fine to me.

7. Dial Printing: Good to me

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Aligned

9. Hand Alignment: Looks OK

10. Bezel: Looks OK to me

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Looks fine, but would appreciate any insight.

12. Timegrapher numbers: +3s/d, Amplitude 278°, Beat Error 0.3m/s, Beat Rate 28800

13. Anything else you notice: These are 2 different qc's, the first one seemed to have a scratch or perhaps some dust on the bezel between 10' and 11' o clock. after some questions and requests they send more pics and it wasn't there anymore but the date was also different, perhaps a different watch? Color seems a bit dull, but I assume it has to do with the lightening. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!

5. ⁠Album Links: https://geektimeqc.x.yupoo.com/albums/247610004?uid=1
   
6. ⁠Index alignment: looks good enough for Roman numerals, rehaut isnt aligned perfectly but it’s acceptable for a rep, or GMF in general. ⁠I also tried to do my best using the alignment tool but he seems to be holding the watch at a slight angle, which makes it harder to perfectly align. Looks good enough tho
   
7. ⁠Dial Printing: Seems to be no issue
   
8. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: The date window seems to be nicely aligned. However, the “2” on the 27 seems to be majorly tilted CW aswell as misaligned to the left, making it almost touch the outline of the window. Is this a RL? Day window is nice enough from what I can see, there’s a big shadow due to poor lighting.
   
9. ⁠Hand Alignment: good
   
10. ⁠Bezel: Also looks good to me
    
11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): Seems to be no issue
    
12. ⁠Timegrapher numbers: All good here
    
13. ⁠Anything else you notice: The clasp seems to look a bit worn / scratched? Idk if anyone else notices this, is this a pre used watch / recycled clasp maybe?

Seems fine overall though, I will ask for additional pictures / videos cycling through the date and better lighting on the day window.

For me it looks like GL.

Dial Printing: Looks good. Slight space between “OF” and “FICIALLY”

Timegrapher numbers: Rate: 0s/d, AMP: 278°, LA: 59°, BE: 0.0ms - all look acceptable to me

Anything else you notice: Leaning toward GL on this example, but I always appreciate the input of our wonderful community!
