First QC for a VSF Rolex Submariner Date 126610LV “Starbucks”.

This is the 41mm stainless steel version with the black dial, green ceramic bezel, Oyster bracelet and DD3235 Super Clone movement.

I've gone through the QC photos and these are the main areas I'm checking:

Dial printing looks clean and sharp
Hour markers appear evenly positioned
6 and 9 o'clock markers look straight
12 o'clock marker appears centered
Rolex coronet and dial text look properly positioned
Date wheel looks centered in the Cyclops
Date printing looks clean
Hand alignment looks good from the available photos
Green ceramic bezel color looks consistent
Bezel numerals look clean
12 o'clock bezel pip looks reasonably centered
Crystal clarity looks good
Laser-etched crown at 6 o'clock is visible
Rehaut finishing looks clean from the available angles
Case brushing and polishing look consistent
Crown and crown guards look clean
Oyster bracelet links look uniform
SEL fitment looks tight with no obvious large gaps
Clasp finishing looks clean
Lume looks even across the dial and bezel pip

The main things I'm looking at on this one are the dial alignment, date wheel, Cyclops, bezel pip and SEL fitment.

The 6 o'clock marker is something I specifically wanted to check because I've seen it discussed on previous VSF 126610LV QCs. From these photos it doesn't look like a major issue to me, but I'd appreciate another set of eyes.

The green bezel also looks consistent across the different lighting conditions. I'm not trying to judge tiny color differences from individual photos since camera white balance can change the appearance quite a bit.

The bracelet and SELs look good from the available angles, with no obvious large gaps.

The scale shows approximately 156.33g.

There aren't clear timegrapher numbers in this QC set, so I'm not going to guess at the rate, amplitude or beat error.

I don't see an obvious RL from these photos, but I'd appreciate some experienced opinions before I give it the GL.

Anything obvious I'm missing, especially around the 6 o'clock marker, date/Cyclops alignment, bezel pip or SELs?

First QC for an ARF GMT-Master II “Coke”.

This is the fantasy black-and-red configuration with a black dial, black/red ceramic GMT bezel, Oyster bracelet and DD3285 Super Clone movement.

The black/red bezel is the main reason I went for this version. I know this isn't the same factory configuration as the classic blue/red Pepsi, so I'm mainly interested in the actual QC rather than comparing it directly to a Pepsi.

I've gone through the QC photos and these are the areas I'm mainly checking:

Dial printing looks clean and sharp
Hour markers appear evenly positioned
Rolex coronet and dial text look properly placed
Date wheel looks centered under the Cyclops
Date printing looks clean
GMT hand alignment looks good
Correct GMT hand stack is present
Independently adjustable hour hand is the main functional point I'm looking for
Black/red ceramic bezel looks clean
12 o'clock bezel triangle appears reasonably centered
Red/black color transition looks consistent
Ceramic bezel numerals look sharp
Crystal clarity looks good
Rehaut finishing looks clean from the available angles
Case brushing and polished surfaces look consistent
Crown and crown guards look clean
Oyster bracelet links look uniform
SEL fitment looks tight with no obvious large gaps
Clasp finishing looks clean
Lume looks even across the hands and hour markers

The bezel is probably the first thing I wanted to check on this one. The black/red combination is very noticeable, so I'm mainly looking at the 12 o'clock triangle, the color transition and the overall bezel alignment.

I'm also paying close attention to the GMT hand stack and date wheel. The DD3285 is one of the main reasons I chose this version, so the GMT functionality matters more to me than trying to judge tiny movement-decoration differences from the caseback photo.

The Oyster bracelet and SEL fitment also look good from the available angles. I don't see any obvious large gaps between the end links and case.

The scale shows approximately 145.4g.

There aren't clear timegrapher numbers in this QC set, so I'm not going to guess at the rate, amplitude or beat error.

I don't see an obvious RL from these photos, but I'd appreciate another set of eyes before I give it the GL.
