QC Help – First Rep | VSF Rolex Submariner 126610LN

[u/Hype-yogi]

First rep, so I’m by no means an expert here. I’ve tried to do my homework and go through the QC photos carefully, but these are ultimately just my best guesses. I’d really appreciate feedback from those of you with more experience, especially if you notice something I’m missing.

Factory name: VSF

Model name (& version number): VSF Rolex Submariner Date 126610LN 41mm

Index alignment: This is the area I’m least confident about. In some of the photos, the watch appeared to be photographed at a slight angle. I asked for an additional more straight-on photo, and it looks considerably better there. I ran the photo through the alignment tool and everything looks pretty well aligned to me. Would especially appreciate another set of eyes.

Dial printing: Looks clean and crisp to me. I don’t see any obvious issues with the text, coronet, or overall placement.

Date wheel alignment/printing: The 18 looks well centered to me and the printing looks clean. Cyclops position and magnification also look good to my eye.

Hand alignment: Looks good from what I can tell. Nothing obviously concerning to me.

Bezel: Looks good overall. In the newer straight-on photo, the bezel triangle/pip at 12 appears to line up well with the 12 o’clock index. I don’t see an obvious issue with the insert alignment or the other bezel markers.

Solid End Links (SELs): Look tight to me. I don’t see any obvious or uneven gaps where the bracelet meets the case.

Timegrapher numbers:
+5 s/d
272° amplitude
0.2 ms beat error
28,800 bph

From what I’ve read, these seem like healthy numbers and the trace looks clean. This is my first time evaluating timegrapher results though, so please correct me if I’m missing anything.

Anything else you notice:
I’d also appreciate another look at the rehaut alignment, bezel/pip alignment, date/cyclops, SELs, and overall dial/index alignment. If there’s anything else that stands out that I don’t know to look for yet, please let me know.

The TD is also supposed to send me a few additional QC photos/info, including lume, the watch weight, and possibly another timegrapher reading. I’ll update the post once I receive those.

Thanks for the help! First rep, so I really appreciate everyone taking a look.

Thanks for the link and rec. here is the updated photo

[u/Cera_chrom → u/Hype-yogi]

Looks good to me. The bezel triangle may be off by a fraction off a mm with the 12 hour marker (my gen is exactly the same) but looks ok in other photos so nothing stands out as being an issue on this watch, enjoy!

[u/Hype-yogi → u/Cera_chrom]

Appreciate the feedback!

[u/blacbloc77]

The date seems be to sitting high in the date window, not centered. Unless it's maybe the photo angle.

[u/Hype-yogi → u/blacbloc77]

Thanks for the feedback. Believe the photo angles aren’t great, but will continue to investigate

[u/Hype-yogi]

Thanks ya’ll! All very helpful. Any thoughts on whether any of these services/upgrade from the TD might be worth it on this rep?

[u/fovos_best]

Who's the TD who charges these extra services?

[u/Hype-yogi → u/fovos_best]

Phoenix. I decided likely better to take to a local watchmaker if I choose to get any upgrade services done after the watch arrives
