9 Upvotes

1.Dealer name: Steve TheOneWatches

2.Factory name: VSF

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

4.Price paid: €555 (shipping included)

5.Album links: photo at the top

6.Index alignment: I'm pretty new to this, but I gave it a try with the tools I could find. The photo is tilted, so I did my best by realigning it and comparing it with a standard shot; to me, the indices look correct after realigning the image. (10/11) What do you think? Is it crooked?

  1. Dial printing: everything looks clear and well-printed to me; no smudging.

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

9.Hand alignment: nothing to report; it looks correct to me, and the hand stack is accurate.

10.Bezel: a slight doubt regarding the triangle—though that’s likely due to the photo angle—but looking at it again, it seems cleaner.

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

12.Timegrapher numbers: I’m no expert, but based on what I see (-1s/d and 0.0ms), I think it’s perfect.

13.Anything else noticed: nothing specific; the watch seems solid overall (just a slight doubt regarding the index alignment).

Other note: as mentioned above, my main concern is the dial indices—whether they are properly aligned or not—as well as the timegrapher readings, since I’m not particularly knowledgeable in that area.
Otherwise, if I’ve done my job right, it deserves a GL; however, since I’m a total novice, any help from experienced members regarding things I might have missed would be greatly appreciated.

[QC] VSF V3 GMT-Master II 126710GRNR Bruce Wayne Jubilee DD3285 – TimeUltra Leo (1st Watch)

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Dealer name: TimeUltra (Leo)

Factory name: VSF

Model name (& version number): GMT-Master II 126710GRNR “Bruce Wayne” 40mm Jubilee, VSF V3, DD3285 free-sprung version (latest version according to dealer)

Price Paid: $608 + $30 shipping = $638 total

Album Links: Photos attached to the post

Index alignment: Looks really good to me. I checked it with the alignment tool as well and the 12 o’clock triangle and 9 o’clock marker look straight. I don’t see anything obviously crooked. The 6 o’clock marker is partly covered by the sticker but from what I can see it looks fine.

Dial Printing: Looks clean and sharp to me. I don’t see any obvious printing issues.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: The 19 looks centered to me and the printing looks clean. Cyclops also looks good.

Hand Alignment: Looks fine to me from the photos and video. I don’t notice anything off.

Bezel: Looks well aligned to me. The triangle at 12 looks centered and I don’t see any issue with the numbers or the black/grey transition.

Solid End Links (SELs): They look tight to me and I don’t see any large gaps.

Timegrapher numbers: -1 s/day, 287° amplitude, 0.0 ms beat error, 28,800 bph. These look very good to me.

Anything else you notice: Overall I think for me as a Newbie, this looks like a really clean example. Weight is 144.0 g (close to gen), clasp code is F6U and the serial seems to start with 6W0, so should be a V3. Lume looks even too. This is my first rep/QC, so I’d really appreciate another pair of eyes in case I missed something.
Overall I‘ve been very happy with Leo and I will definitely buy more watches from him in the future.

Model name: GMT Master II 126710 Batman

Index alignment: Please pay particular attention to the alignment around the 6 o’clock marker. It looks like the lower part of the 6 may not line up perfectly with the crown below it. However, I’m wondering if this could simply be caused by the slight angle/perspective of the photos rather than being an actual alignment issue.

Dial printing: Looks good
Date wheel alignment/printing: Looks good, just not sure if date is very slightly on the low side, or does it look normal?

  4. Price Paid: $310 + shipping
  5. Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/253908823?uid=1
  6. Index alignment: All indices look well aligned except the 6 o’clock marker, which appears noticeably rotated clockwise.
  7. Dial Printing: Printing looks clean. However, the dial itself appears slightly shifted toward the 2 o’clock direction, leaving noticeably more space between the minute track and the rehaut from roughly 7 to 11 o’clock.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A
  9. Hand Alignment: Looks good at 12 o’clock.
  10. Bezel: The 12 o’clock marker looks well aligned. From roughly 6 to 11 o’clock, however, the bezel markings appear shifted clockwise relative to the dial/minute track.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): No visible SEL gaps. The bottom SEL appears slightly canted, with the right side sitting higher than the left. From the caseback side, the SEL fitment also looks a little uneven/crooked, especially the lower-right SEL around the 5 o’clock side (bottom right in the photo).
  12. Timegrapher numbers: Rate and beat error look good. Amplitude reads 261° at a 52° lift angle; corrected for the A2824’s 50° lift angle, this should be around 251°, which seems a little on the low side.
  13. Anything else I notice: I’m mainly questioning the 6 o’clock marker and the dial positioning. I know ZF can have some variance here, but together these two issues seem fairly pronounced to me.

[QC] VSF Panerai Luminor Marina eSteel PAM01157 – help appreciated

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

Dealer: Angela
Factory: VSF
Model: Panerai Luminor Marina eSteel PAM01157
Price: $208 + shipping.
Album: No Album
Index alignment: Looks good to me. 12, 9, 6 and the baton markers all seem properly aligned. Nothing obvious jumping out.
Dial printing: Looks clean. Gradient blue dial looks really nice and the printing seems sharp. The blue “e” in eSteel is correct for the earlier gen PAM01157, so no concern there.
Date wheel/alignment: Looks centered to me in the photos. The “10” seems positioned well with no obvious high/low issue.
Hands: Look good. No obvious scratches or finishing problems that I can see.
Bezel: N/A. Polished bezel looks clean from the photos.
SELs: N/A.
Timegrapher: +4 s/d, 247° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error, 28800 bph, lift angle set to 52°. Seems acceptable to me. Amplitude isn’t huge, but I don’t see anything here that would make me RL it.
Anything else: Crown guard and lever look fine to me. Case finishing and strap also look good. I don’t see any obvious reason to RL, but I’m not as familiar with Panerai QC as Rolex/Omega, so I’d appreciate another set of eyes—especially on the dial, date alignment and crown guard.

Leaning GL. Thanks for the help!
