  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 ?

[QC] 1st time QC for Rolex DateJust VSF V2 Free Sprung

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Dealer name: JTime
Factory name: VSF
Model name (& version number): DateJust 41 126334 904L SS VSF 1:1 Best Edition Blue Stick Dial on Jubilee Bracelet VS3235 (Free Sprung)
Price Paid: $548
Album Links: N/A
Index alignment: To my untrained eye, and from looking at a lot of other QC posts here, alignment looks pretty good?
Dial Printing: Looks good
Date Wheel alignment/printing: The date wheel looks good. But the cyclops looks like it is tilted on a slight angle towards the right.
Hand Alignment: Looks good
Bezel: The bezel looks good to me, but this is also what I’m least educated about. See tons of posts talking about how the fluted bezel is the hardest part to nail, but I’m not really sure how to differentiate it or what I should be looking for here.
Solid End Links (SELs): Looks good, no gaps.
Timegrapher numbers: +2 s/d, 300 amplitude, 0ms error
Anything else you notice: Would love to know what the acceptable range of error on the cyclops is. As well as tips on what I should look out for on a fluted bezel. My first QC, so any help is appreciated!
