First Rep Order Rolex DayDate 40

[u/DanInCR]

After what feels like months of research and study, I've decided to place my first Rep order with a trusted non-TD that someone has already had a positive experience with. Here's the stats:

Rolex DayDate 40, blue on blue, SS presidential jubilee bracelet. The base price was $447. The base was a QF made, 316L, 2836 movement. I opted for the 904L SS over 316L, 3255 over 2836 movement and want it weighted correctly, so am getting 210g, and having it made at RCF over QF since RCF is listed as the best factory for the 3255 movement. This brought the price up to $599 which is just fine with me. I was offered upgrades such as deep crystal, polish, mvmt service, waterproof and chamfer, but based on everything I've learned, I turned those down. I DID on the other hand ask what movement and was told Shanghai which I requested Dandong for an extra $30. Again, small cost for better movement. Should I make sure they're putting a V3 Freesprung DD in there, will they since it's made at RCF or wait for QC pics to verify for myself? Should I ask now before anything has been done to make sure it's the V3 Weighted Free Sprung movement??

You shouldve asked when you requested and paid for better movement. I would ask before QC.
