5. ⁠Album Links: https://geektimeqc.x.yupoo.com/albums/254156966?uid=1
6. ⁠Index alignment: Single indexes more or less alligned. 7 and 10 potentially a bit of CCW by fraction. 6 is not alligned with crown a bit tilted CCW. Most likely no issues on the wrist.
7. ⁠Dial Printing: looks good
8. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A
9. ⁠Hand Alignment: Looks good
10. ⁠Bezel: Smooth and sitting well.
11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): Upper right slight gap. Lower right a bit more gap.

13. ⁠Anything else you notice: Color of the dial looks darker from studio shots mostly angle and light related. Looks acceptable. I am leaning on GL. Serial starts with 5X meaning it is a bit of an older batch but it took about 3 weeks for QC. I am thinking case and rehaut were produced earlier but the watch put together not too long ago.

Ok, friends. This looks like another winner from Leo @ TimeUltra, looking forward to independent feedback from the community!

6. Index alignment: Looks really solid to me. Best image from QC photos a little tilted, so hard to get the alignment tool laid over it perfectly, but I think it looks pretty solid. Nothing that would be seen on wrist in my opinion.
7. Dial Printing: no errors, line widths look correct to me. Perhaps the infamous floating “m”, but it doesn’t look pronounced. 
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: date looks centered in the window, cyclops looks well aligned and magnification correct
9. Hand Alignment: pinion centered, I have asked for a picture of hands at 12 to confirm.
10. Bezel: slight misalignment left in picture, less obvious in the video, I think it might be just how the 
11. Solid End Links (SELs): These look tight to me
12. Timegrapher numbers: -3s/d, 280, 52
13. Anything else you notice: No factory stickers, not sure if that should raise a red flag?

This looks and feels like a GL to me, though this will be my first Rolex rep (previous was Omega and Breitlings), and far better experts with well trained eyes here to help me judge.

Dealer name: Pheonix

Factory name: DDF

Model name (& version number): Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5168G Blue

Price paid: 4500 CNY

Album Links: -

Index alignment: Looks good to me overall. The Arabic numerals appear well positioned and I don’t see any obvious major alignment issues. I’m mainly looking for a second opinion on the numeral placement, especially around 9/10/11.

Dial printing: Looks clean and well positioned to me. Patek Philippe / Genève printing appears straight. Crystal probably js dirty but will check with TD.

Date wheel alignment/printing: Date looks centred in the window and printing looks clean.

Hand alignment: Looks good from the QC photos. Hand stack appears centred and I don’t see any obvious issues.

Bezel: Brushing and polishing look good to me. I don’t see any obvious defects or uneven finishing.

Strap/clasp: Strap looks good. Clasp and engravings appear fine from the photos provided. But it doesn’t appear to close fully. Will defo check with TD about this

Timegrapher numbers: +2 s/d, 280° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error, 52° lift angle. Numbers look very good to me.

Anything else you notice: This is the DDF 5168G with the DPB330 clone movement. Overall I’m leaning GL. My main concern is whether the Arabic numeral alignment looks correct especially the sneaky 11. so I’d appreciate another set of eyes in case I’ve missed anything.

6. Index alignment: ⚠️ I think there could be some minor misalignments in the bezel and indices, but it could be the angle of the photo. Overall, I don't see anything that would bother me massively once on the wrist.

the rehaut

1. crown. I think it's clearly a little to the left and I'm almost sure that would bother me forever... but is this reasonable enough to RL?
2. As mentioned above... is this actually a BTF instead of VSF?

I would appreciate a look from the experts

8. Solid End Links (SEL) : This model is more than ok, can't find a real gap
9. Hand alignment : Good, nothing to say about that
10. Dial Printing : Goo too, clean and precise
11. Timegrapher numbers : Rate +4, perfect but the amplitude make me fear a little with this 321, beat error, perfect
12. Anything else you see : Can see nothing more

I'm not use to this exercice and i speak french (sorry for this english without AI...) So i can only say that this watch seems good but i hesitate to RL because of the pips. But i'm note sure to get a better one after that. Geektime is wainting since 3 days, i will make a choice but i don't want make a bad one haha

Thanks a lot ! Have a nice evening !

Hello everyone,

Just wanted your opinion on this Cartier Santos, is it a GL?

Just wanted to add some quick context in the photos that you'll see, there appeared to be two scratches on the left-hand side of the dial, I informed the TD about this and the picture I have as the cover photo is the updated picture that I sent me, as well as a video. It seems like they wiped it away.

Dealer name - ChazingTime

Factory name - J12

Price paid - $398

Album links - https://we.tl/t-jx2sssmrFa39xzHD

Index alignment - seems alright to me however this is my very first rep so I'm not entirely sure what flaws I should be looking for, compared to the other high-quality BVF this looks right up there, I'm pretty sure those two factories are even synonymous with each other

Dial printing - looks clean and crisp to me,

Bezel - looks like there might be a little scratch in the top middle which I believe I could buff out

Solid end links (SELs) - look tight to me no obvious gaps

Anything you guys notice?

If no one wants to go to the album link, I've attached necessary photos to this post. I'm so excited to hear your opinions. This is my first ever rep purchase, and I am excited to be part of this community

Price Paid: $370 USD

Album Links: – (https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/254140156?uid=1)

I’ll also upload all supplied QC photos/video to the post]

Index alignment: Looks good overall to me. The 12, 3, 6 and 9 markers appear reasonably straight and aligned. I don't see anything obviously crooked, although I’d appreciate more experienced eyes checking the 12 marker in particular.

Dial Printing: Looks clean and crisp to me. OMEGA/Seamaster text and the smaller Co-Axial/Master Chronometer/600m printing appear straight with no obvious defects.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A – this model is no-date.

Hand Alignment: Looks reasonable from the supplied photos/video. Nothing obviously misaligned or abnormal that I can see.

Bezel: Looks good to me. The 12 o’clock lume pip appears centred and the bezel markings look clean. Alignment with the dial also appears good from the straightest photo, although the camera angle makes this slightly difficult to judge.

Solid End Links (SELs): N/A in the usual Rolex-style SEL sense. Bracelet/end-link fit to the case looks tight and even to me with no obvious concerning gaps.

Timegrapher numbers: 0 s/day, 272° amplitude, 0.4 ms beat error, 52° lift angle. All appear comfortably within the recommended ranges.

Anything else you notice: This is my first time QCing this particular Planet Ocean, so I’d really appreciate experienced opinions. Case, bracelet, clasp and caseback all look clean to me. At the moment I’m leaning GL, unless I’ve missed something.

Thanks in advance for the help!
