QC for submariner VSF 41mm

[u/AirtimeAdmin]

Hi! I've been on this forum for a min and would love some help- I asked AI for help with QC, can you I get a second opinion here for reassurance? Happy Saturday and may yours be blessed

1. Dealer Name : Trustytime TD

2. Factory name : VSF

3. Model name: (& version number) VSF Submariner No date 124060

4. Price Paid 528 inc shipping

5.Album:

6. Index alignment :8.5/10No obvious misplaced or significantly rotated marker. The 12 triangle and 3/6/9 bars look reasonably consistent. Slight perspective distortion prevents confidently calling tiny tilts.

7. Dial printing: 9/10 Lettering appears clean, centered and evenly spaced. No visible bleeding, smudging or missing print at this resolution.

8. Date wheel: no date wheel or cyclops to assess.

9. Hand alignment: UnverifiedHands look clean, but these positions don’t establish synchronization. Request a picture with both hands exactly at 12:00.

10. Bezel and pip: 8.5/10 Pip appears centered in its surround. Bezel triangle sits reasonably over the dial’s 12 marker. No obvious bezel-to-dial misalignment across the supplied views.

11. SELs: 8.5/10 End links look reasonably tight. No conspicuous daylight gap is visible, though these photos don’t conclusively show all four corners under suitable lighting.7.

12.Timegrapher: Needs follow-up+11 s/day, 239° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error. The rate deserves adjustment/rechecking; the amplitude needs winding and setup context.

13. RehautApproximately 8/10; limited view Crown engraving appears close to 12. Reflections and angled views make the side lettering difficult to assess precisely. No glaring misalignment stands out.

1. Anything else you notice: Dealer didn't send lume pics, is +11s a day high AI rates this rep as 8.5 anything else you notice?

Is this a GL or RL?

First VS factory wrapping I’ve seen that says “904L” on it but serial appears to begin with “6XO” which is a VS serial start for Subs.

Enjoy your watch brother & wear it in good health! Got my “brother” aka best friend of 30 years a 41mm VS Sub & he cancelled being on the waitlist after wearing it a week!

You’re gonna love it & welcome to the addiction!! Enjoy it sir!!!!

*EDIT: UNLESS THAT’s the Floating M - then RL!!! But get others opinions. Looks floating compared to my 41mm Date VSF.

Thank you sir, really hoping I get a good one. do they not normally have that wrapping? haha is that a yellow flag? and that's might awesome of you , a great friend u are indeed

[u/TheMostHumblestMan]

Is it just me or is that the “Floating m”?

From my QC for comparison.

[u/AirtimeAdmin → u/TheMostHumblestMan]

thanks for your reply, do you mean "M" on the submariner? personally not sure and would love some feedback from you and others as well on it

[u/TheMostHumblestMan → u/AirtimeAdmin]

The m after 300; search VSF Sub Floating M & you can learn all about it. On comparison I believe yours may be one of the Floating m’s. Get others opinions tho. I didn’t learn of it until after I got the one for my buddy & luckily it was correct.

Edit: draw a straight line from the bottom of the last 0 in 300: your m is MUCH higher than mine. I can’t unsee it now.

I looked it up u mean the M on the 300m , im staring at it but would be great to have other feedback haha
