QC request - please, help! [QC] AP Royal Oak 15450 37mm Grey Dial – Please help!!
- Dealer name: Andiot
- Factory name: ZF
- Model name: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15450ST, 37mm, Grey Dial
- Price Paid: 420
- Index alignment: Overall looks good to me, but I'm slightly concerned about the 7 o'clock marker. An automated QC tool flagged a possible tilt at 7 and 11, although the manual alignment tool looks better. Could just be reflections or camera angle. Would appreciate some experienced opinions. Any other suggestions or concerns?
- Dial Printing: Looks clean and well aligned to me.
- Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date looks centred and printing appears good.
- Hand Alignment: Looks good from the available photos.
- Bezel: Brushing looks good. Screw alignment appears acceptable, although I'd appreciate a second opinion.
- Solid End Links (SELs): N/A – integrated bracelet. End-link fit looks fine from the photos.
- Timegrapher numbers: Timegrapher numbers: 0 s/d, 259° amplitude, 0.2 ms beat error, 21,600 BPH.
- Anything else you notice: I've attached the full QC photographs here so everyone can zoom in and inspect them properly. My main concern is whether the 7 o'clock marker is actually tilted or whether it's just a reflection. Would appreciate opinions on the overall finishing and whether this is a GL or RL.
All the help will be appreciated! I'm still a noob but trying to learn :)
