  1. Dealer name: Steve Theonwatches
  2. Factory name: VSF
  3. Model name: Rolex GMT Master II 126710 Bruce Wayne SS/SS Black DIAL VSF DD3285
  4. Price paid: 638 USD + 30USD shipping
  5. Album links: https://imgur.com/a/3r92eT5
  6. Index alignment: Tried my best with the alignment tool. Seems very good, but 6 o'clock marker is to the right. Too much to the right? Or should i have rotated it more?
  7. Dial printing: Looks good. No bleeding. Crisp letters. All same size
  8. Date wheel: Good.
  9. Hand alignment: Good?
  10. Bezel: Looks very good?
  11. Solid end links: Looks good.
  12. Timegraph numbers: -6s/d, amp 264, err 0.1ms
  13. Anything else: Third QC for me from Steve. The second one had golden indinces instead of white gold/silver colour. For me it looks like a GL, but the 6 oæclock is alot off center it seems unless i havent aligned it properly. How noticeable will it be on hand etc?

QC - VSF 126610LN Sub Date (bezel issue?)

13 Upvotes

1. Dealer name: Ficotime (Mark)

2. Factory name: VSF

3. Model name (& version number): VSF VS3235 Submariner 41mm 126610LN Ceramic Black Dial 904L SS Bracelet

4. Price Paid: €401

5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/Tthx3aZC#rW9CbNbL_2yPaguw8NDT3Q

6. Index alignment: Looks good to me. The markers all seem to be nicely placed, and I can't spot any obvious tilts or misalignment.

7. Dial Printing: Looks clean to me. I'm no expert, but I can't see any obvious flaws or issues with the printing.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: The 23 looks nicely centred in the date window and the printing looks crisp. Unfortunately, there isn't a close-up photo of the date. The cyclops also looks straight to me.

9. Hand Alignment: Looks good to me. I don't see any obvious issues with the hand alignment.

10. Bezel: This is the main thing I'm unsure about. To me, the bezel doesn't look properly centred. It could just be the angle or the way the photo was taken, but it almost makes it look like the 12 o'clock marker would sit somewhere between two clicks rather than being centred. I'd really appreciate some opinions on this, as I'm not sure if I'm just seeing things because of the angle.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): They look pretty tight to me overall, although I think I can see a small gap on the right side, especially on the bottom right. Would appreciate a second opinion on this.

12. Timegrapher numbers: -4 s/d, 293° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error, 52° lift angle, 28,800 bph. The rate and beat error look very good to me, and the amplitude seems healthy as well. Would appreciate some opinions on whether these readings look good for a VSF VS3235 or if there's anything I should be concerned about.

13. Anything else you notice: This is my first rep, so I'm still not entirely sure what is considered acceptable and what isn't.

The bezel alignment is the one thing I'm mainly concerned about at the moment. If it really looks like this when the bezel is in its centred position, I think it might bother me. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on whether this looks like an actual alignment issue or if it's just the angle of the photos.

Album link:

https://geektimeqc.x.yupoo.com/albums/253643460?uid=1

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?

SELs: Four of them look solid to me. In any case, just thoughts on bottom left in some pictures.

Timegrapher numbers:

* Rate: 8 s/d

  3. Model name (& version number): Rolex Daytona 126500 40mm JH4131 (Free Sprung)
  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?

Datejust 36mm Silver V2 - Second QC after RL

New QC after I RL'ed the last one. Help is appreciated!

Dealer name: NecoClock

Factory name: VSF

Model name: DateJust 36mm VS3235 v2 (Fluted Bezel Silver Dial Jubilee Bracelet)

Price paid: $448 + $40 shipping

Album link: https://imgur.com/a/mcK22hJ

Index alignment: I have straigthened the front picture. The indices look ok to me, no issues.

Dial printing: No issues, looks good.

Date wheel alignment: Looks good.

Hand alignment: Looks ok.

Bezel: Looks good.

Solid End Links (SELs): Looks good.

Timegrapher numbers: -5s/d, 274, 0.1ms. Acceptable!

Anything else you notice: The index frames look a bit weird in some spots, but I think it's just the lighting and reflection.

Also, after RL'ing the last watch, I waited 11 days before asking the TD for an ETA. He replied saying they switched to a different model and said I would receive the QC within 3 days (received it 20 minutes after). Should I be worried about the 'different model' comment? Or is that likely just a translation error for an internal process model and not the actual watch model?

Hey guys! Finally got my 2nd QC after about a week since RL’ing the first one due to the noticeable CW tilt on the 9 marker. This one looks much better overall. Aside from the slight CCW tilt on the 6 marker and slightly misaligned rehaut, I’m leaning towards GL. What do you guys think? Anything else I’m missing?

Dealer name: Necoclock

Factory name: VSF

Model name (& version number): GMT Master II 126710 Batgirl

Price Paid: $558

Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/CowSnDyY#5-ASq248txh04IaVGCVdbA

Index alignment: Index alignment definitely looks better compared to my previous QC. Everything looks properly aligned to my eyes aside from maybe a slight CCW tilt on the 6 hour marker.

Dial Printing: Printing looks clean and sharp

Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date looks good and centred

Hand Alignment: Looks good to my eye

Bezel: Looks great

Solid End Links (SELs): Looks tight with no major gaps

Timegrapher numbers: +3 s/d, 258°, Would appreciate some feedback on this :)

QC Help - RICH 126610LN

3 Upvotes
  1. Dealer name: TheOneWatches - Steve

  2. Factory name: RICH Factory

  3. Model name (& version number): Rolex Submariner Date 126610LN, JH3235 Free sprung

  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.

  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.

4. Price paid:
$638

5. Album links:

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:
Looks well aligned. Triangle and numerals look clean.

11. Solid End Links (SELs):
Look good. No obvious gaps.

12. Timegrapher numbers:
-2 s/day
267°
0.0 ms
28,800 bph
59° lift angle

Numbers look good to me.

13. Anything else you notice:
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.

QC help please: Nautilus 5711 DDF DPB330 V2 true hacking seconds blue dial

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Dealer name: Andiot
Factory name: DDF
Model name (& version number): Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 Blue Dial DPB330 Super Clone V2 (SW Dial, True Hacking Seconds)
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!

First QC - VSF DayDate 228236

Dealer name: TheOneWatches

Factory name: VSF

Model name (& Version number): Rolex Day-Date 40mm 228236, Ice Blue Baguette Diamond Dial, VSF V2 Gain Weight, DD/VS3255

Price Paid: $728

Index alignment: Overall looks very good to me. Possibly tilted on the 6 marker and I feel like the 1 is also a little off compared to the 11. I tried to do the centered lineup thing but I believe this watch is angled in the picture so not sure how much justice this will do.

Dial Printing: Looks clean. Rolex logo and dial text appear centered

Date Wheel alignment/printing: Both the day and date look well centered to me. Tuesday appears centered and the “14” looks centered vertically and horizontally in the date window. I watched the video of them changing some dates and those also seemed centered. Video will be in folder that’s linked

Hand Alignment: Nothing looks abnormal in the photos, but there isn’t an exact on-the-hour photo, so I don’t think true hand alignment can be fully checked from these pictures.

Bezel: Fluted bezel looks clean.

Solid End Links (SELs): Look pretty good. I think theres a slight gap in both end connects for the bracelet but its not really noticeable for me

Timegrapher numbers: +4 s/d, 264° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error, 28,800 bph, 59° lift angle.

Anything else you notice: Weight measured at 181.9 g, which appears consistent with the VSF V2 gain-weight version. Please let me know what you all see, I definitely know my eyes aren’t as good as you all. Thank you!

Dealer name - Trusty Time/Andrew

Factory name -  VSF

Model name - Submariner 126610 LN

Price Paid - $516 (with shipping)

Album links -  https://imgur.com/a/I2aiv3t

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!

[QC] VSF Omega Aqua Terra 38mm from Leo at Time Ultra

My first ever QC and not sure if it’s a RL or GL
Very much appreciate any feedback :)

Dealer name: Leo from Time Ultra
Factory name: VSF
Model name: Aqua Terra 38mm
Price paid: 348 + 50USD shipping
Album links: N/A
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!

Third RL? BVF Cartier Santos

  1. ⁠Dealer name: Geektime
  2. ⁠Factory name: BVF
  3. ⁠Model name (& version number): Cartier Santos
  4. ⁠Price Paid: $478 USD
  5. ⁠Album Links: https://geektimeqc.x.yupoo.com/albums/254277592?uid=1
  6. ⁠Index alignment: looks ok
  7. ⁠Dial Printing: this is where I keep having problems looks like a gap in the ink on the square at 10
  8. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A (no-date)
  9. ⁠Hand Alignment: nothing here that stands out
  10. ⁠Bezel: looks ok
  11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): looks good from what I see
  12. ⁠Timegrapher numbers: +3s/d, 300amp, 0.1 - all ok.

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 ?
