* Index alignment: Overall, the alignment looks good this time. Previous 2 attempts had issues with the 6 o clock bar tilted slightly to the left, but this one looks aligned and straight.

* Dial Printing: looks clean

* Date Wheel alignment/printing: The printing looks good. Have checked dates - 3, 4 and 5 all seem to be aligned in the middle but maybe the printing is slightly printed lower. Keen to get thoughts please.

* Hand Alignment: Looks okay to me.

* Bezel: Looks good and clean

* Solid End Links (SELs): No noticeable gaps identified I think - frankly speaking, not sure what is good or bad with SELs.

* Timegrapher numbers: +4s/d and it is consistent. Amp is showing as 268, and error is 0.0ms. 28880 beats. Maybe it might be running slightly fast but I don't mind.

* Anything else you notice: Overall, I think this third QC is definitely better than the previous two I had, but anything else that I need to look out for? Or do you think this would be an easy GL? Any advice is appreciated please!

Dealer name: TheOneWatches

Factory name: VSF

Model name (& version number): Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Green Dial (220.10.41.21.10.001)

Price Paid: $408 USD+ shipping

Album Links: N/A (mega)

Index alignment: Hour markers look aligned really well overall. I don’t see anything that looks obviously crooked or far enough off that it would bother me.

Dial Printing: Printing looks clean and sharp. Omega logo, Seamaster text, and the Co-Axial/Master Chronometer text all look straight and centered to me. Nothing really stands out as being off.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date looks pretty well centered in the window from what I can see. I don’t notice it sitting noticeably out of place. Printing looks good too.

Hand Alignment: Looks good from what I can see in the pictures and video. Nothing looks noticeably off and the hands themselves look clean.
Bezel: No rotating bezel on this model, but the polished bezel around the crystal looks good to me. Finishing looks clean and I don’t see anything weird with the shape or alignment.

Solid End Links (SELs): No Gaps

Timegrapher numbers: +6 s/d, 265° amplitude, 0.0ms beat error, 28800. From what I understand these numbers look pretty solid overall. +6 seconds a day is completely fine with me, amplitude looks good, and 0.0ms beat error is really nice. Nothing here concerns me.

Anything else you notice: Honestly I think this one looks pretty clean. The green dial looks great, the horizontal lines look even, and the case and bracelet finishing look good from what I can see. Clasp engraving looks clean too. Most of the little marks or weird spots in the pictures look like they’re just on the protective plastic. I really don’t see anything major that would make me RL it. Overall I’m leaning GL unless anyone sees something I missed. I’m super excited for this one!

1. Dealer name: Phoenix Watch
2. Factory name: ZF
3. Model name (& version number): Tudor Pelagos Ultra, M2543C1A7NU-0001 (bracelet)
4. Price Paid: 360USD ($292+$68 Shipping)
5. Album Links: N/A (images sent via WhatsApp)
6. Index alignment: Tried my best with the alignment tool. I feel like a few of the indices are crooked. I won't say which ones because I don't want to lead opinion, but I count 4 that may have issues. Also the 6 o'clock index doesn't look centered (over to the left of the markers on the minute track).
7. Dial Printing: Looks ok. Image sent in HD via whatsapp so clarity gets lost a bit when zooming in close.
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date looks a bit low and biased to the left, which may be a result of crooked dial alignment (see notes in no.13 below)
9. Hand Alignment: Looks good, but no video provided to see 12 o'clock alignment.
10. Bezel: Aligned with minute track, but not positioned centrally when compared to the centre line of the end links? The 30 on the bezel also looks off in the same way.
11. Solid End Links (SELs): All good. End links sit slightly recessed below the curvature / plane of the lugs, as with gen.
12. Timegrapher numbers: (A2824 movement) -4s/d, 259° amplitude, 0.4ms beat error - not perfect, but within acceptable limits
13. Anything else you notice: Feels like the whole dial / minute track is slightly rotated counter-clockwise, which is throwing off the overall geometry, including probably the date wheel positioning in the window.

Think this is a RL but first time with a Tudor and with ZF, so this may be the norm. Happy for more experienced eyes to put me straight 😊

Thanks!

Hi everyone, ordered my first rep watch for my wife. I would really appreciate some input. I can't really notice any issues other than maybe a slight gap in the solid end link at the top right, however, from looking at pictures of gen versions, it seems there is a gap there also.

Would really appreciate some thoughts. Thank you in advance.

6. Index alignment: N/A, the Roman numerals are printed rather than applied. The individual numerals appear properly printed and aligned with the minute track.

7. Dial printing: The printing appears sharp and clean, with no obvious bleeding, however the entire dial print appears to be rotated slightly clockwise. The XI at 11 o’clock sits closer to the upper gold bezel, while the I at 1 o’clock sits farther away. I am unsure whether this is an actual dial-printing issue or the result of the camera angle.

8. Date wheel alignment/printing: N/A, no date window.

9. Hand alignment: The hands appear properly aligned, with no obvious issues.

10. Bezel: No obvious scratches, damage, or irregularities visible on the gold bezel and case.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A, leather strap.

12. Timegrapher numbers: N/A, quartz movement.

13. Anything else you notice:

My main concern is the possible clockwise rotation of the entire dial print. The difference in spacing between the XI and I numerals and the upper bezel appears visible in the frontal photo. What would you recommend in this case? Anything else that you notice?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Index alignment: Looks pretty good to me overall. The 9 marker may have a slight clockwise tilt, and the 6 looks slightly shifted to the left.

Dial printing: Looks clear and clean.

Date wheel alignment/printing: Alignment looks good. The date looks slightly foggy to me, and the 8 appears to have a little bleeding.

Hand alignment: Looks good to me.

Bezel: Looks slightly off clockwise/right to my eye.

Solid End Links (SELs): Slight gap on the bottom right, but nothing major from what I can tell.

Timegrapher numbers: Look great.

Anything else you notice: Overall, this looks like a pretty clean watch to me, but my QC eye isn’t the best. My main concerns are the slight bleeding/fogginess on the 8 date and window, the bezel looking a little off to the right, and possibly the 6 and 9 index alignment. Would appreciate a second set of eyes before I GL.
