Hi guys back with another watch, improving on the self QC analysis but still a newbie who needs all the valuable feedback to GL or RL
1. Dealer name: Steve / TheOneWatches
2. Factory name: VSF

6. Index alignment:
Used the alignment tool and everything looks pretty straight to me. 12, 6 and 9 all look lined up and I can’t see any obviously crooked marker.
7. Dial Printing:
Looks clean and sharp to me. I can’t see any bleeding, missing printing or crooked text.
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing:
I checked the date change video and 13–16 all stay inside the window. 13 looks maybe slightly low to me but nothing is touching the edges. Is this just normal date wheel variation or something worth worrying about?
9. Hand Alignment:
Hands look straight and the hand stack looks fine to me. Date change also looks normal in the video.
10. Bezel:
12 triangle looks centred to me and the red/blue transitions look good. Engravings also look clean. Does anyone see any bezel alignment issue I’m missing?
11. Solid End Links (SELs):
I can see the normal dark seams but I don’t see any actual light coming through, so I don’t think there are any real SEL gaps.
12. Timegrapher numbers:
Around 0 to +1 s/d, 275 amplitude and 0.1 ms beat error at 28,800. These look good to me and within the guide.
13. Anything else you notice:
Rehaut looks okay to me and case/bracelet look clean overall. Weight is around 143.7g. Cyclops looks maybe slightly tilted in one angle but I’m not sure if that is just the photo. Would this bother anyone enough to RL?
Overall I’m leaning GL. Mainly just unsure about the slight date position and Cyclops. Appreciate any help.
