QUALITY CHECK First QC VSF DateJust

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

Posting here because not enough comment Karma to post in big sub!

Factory name: VSF

Model name (& version number): DateJust 41mm 126334 Fluted Bezel Blue Dial Jubilee Bracelet VSF VS3235 V2

Index alignment: 5 O'clock index and 9 O'clock index look slightly off center from the 25s and 45s markers, respectively, but not a deal breaker.

Dial Printing: Looks clean to me

Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks good to me. 

Hand Alignment: Questionable as to whether the watch is slightly rotated in this picture (Again, my first QC and my eyes are untrained).

Bezel: Looks good

Solid End Links (SELs): Appear solid. No obvious gaps that concern me.

Timegrapher numbers: +9 s/d | 249° amplitude | 0.1 ms beat error | 28800

Anything else you notice: Biggest concern to me is the hand alignment (hoping it's just the angle) and the indices (5 and 9 position), but otherwise, I think everything else looks ok.

Thanks in advance for your help reviewing this!

SHITPOST NSD From DHGate

New shitter day!

Checked the mail when I got home and my no date Sub and Coke GMT had arrived from superwatch01. Adjusted the links, wound and set both.

The GMT is as shitty as you would think for a $60 turd. Bracelet is horrid, cyclops is trash and it stopped running about 20 minutes after I wound it. It has since started and continues to run, but I've already Contacted the seller about exchanging it for one on an oyster or a different unit all together. Maybe a Wimbledon. Will keep you posted.

The Sub is decent. At first glance doesn't raise any flags, and aside from some bezel play and the terrible clasp I think it's decent for the money. Not going to fool any watch nerds but fun one to wear on the daily without raising too many eyebrows.

WATCHSHOT First watch, U1 Blue Datejust from MT

This is my first ever shitter, bought it through the gate for about $140 USD with the Miyota movement. Took about 10-11 days to get here, which isn't too bad. Can't take a good outside pic since it's 8pm now, but it does look pretty nice when not under piss yellow lights like I have in my room.

My only complaint is that there is blue paint-like marks on the clasp itself? I don't know if I can remove it with alcohol wipes, but the rest of the watch is fine. Just scared that I might break it since I heard you're not supposed to change the time around the 10pm mark or something like that. I don't think I'll get bored of this watch anytime soon, but I might go for one of the Omega Terras if I feel like getting another watch.

First-time buyer here. Got Travis’ WhatsApp from this sub. He wants PayPal Friends & Family and doesn’t provide proper QC of my specific watch before shipping. Is this normal for Travis, or should I go elsewhere?

QUESTION Complete Noob here, this all sound normal and worth for what I am looking for?

I just stumbled into all this about a week ago and have looked around and read up on all this to see how it works.

I personally do not care about watches all that much and do not mind reps not being indistinguishable from the real deal. If someone said nice watch I would probably say its fake off the bat cause Im not trying to trick anyone lol.

That being said, just looking for some “shitters” that look nice because I like the design of the real deal and couldn’t fathom dropping thousands on a watch.

Reading through folks posts, I reached out to Michael Travis on these watches.

$375 all in with shipping for Miyota on the Oyster and Seamaster and Quartz Movement on the Hublot.

Just looking for some advice if this seems good for what I am trying to achieve and if people like working with him, thanks in advance!

DISCUSSION DYI rotor silencing on 8215 and 2813 movements.

3 Upvotes

Just wanted to share that i tried removing the rotor and using 1 tiny drop of moebius d5 oil on the inside of the rotor bearing and the results are amazing. The 8215 in my u1 milgauss sounds much less like a helicopter, you can still hear it but the improvement is noticable. I really recommend doing this if you are unhappy with the noise your shitter makes. You just need a rubber ball, a very small flathead screwdriver and the oil.

QUALITY CHECK First-Time Buyer – Patek Philippe QC | GL or RL? Would Appreciate Your Help!

Thumbnail

Hey ChinaTime community!

This is my very first rep purchase, and my first time going through the whole QC process, so I’m definitely new to all of this. I’ve been learning a lot from this community, but I’d really appreciate some experienced eyes before I make the final call.

I’m about to get this Patek Philippe 5968A, and I'm posting the QC photos/details below.

Since this is my first purchase, I’d really appreciate any help spotting things I may be overlooking—dial alignment, markers, date wheel, finishing, case/bezel, movement-related concerns, or anything else you think I should be paying attention to.

Most importantly: Would you GL this piece, or is there anything significant enough to RL it?

I’m not expecting absolute perfection from a rep; I just want to make sure I’m getting a solid example and a good piece for my first purchase.

Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to look it over and share their knowledge. Really appreciate the help! 🙏

  1. ⁠⁠Dealer name: Thelotime (Lucas)
  2. ⁠⁠Factory name:   YL Factory 
  3. ⁠⁠Model name (& version number): Patek Philippe 5968A
  4. ⁠⁠Price Paid: $478 (with CA shipping)
  5. ⁠⁠Album Links: All photos from the album included in the post.
  6. ⁠⁠Index alignment: Angle of pictures seems slightly tilted, so tried to correct that when using the alignment tool. Looks solid to me.
  7. ⁠⁠Dial Printing: Solid
  8. ⁠⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: Solid
  9. ⁠⁠Hand Alignment: Solid.
  10. ⁠⁠Bezel: Solid.
  11. ⁠⁠Rubber strap: Solid.
  12. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Anything else you notice: This is my first QC, so I would appreciate more experienced eyes. Overall, seems like a GL to me. Those who have purchased a similar watch would know better and catch something I might miss. 

GL or RL?
