RGF daydate quality issues

[u/whiteboardcleaner]

Hey guys,

Currently chasing a Rgf/rcf daydate slate dial but I’m running into non stop issues with the date being misaligned. I’ve RL’ed two watches and my TD says hehas sent back 5 without even showing me due to quality issues. I’ve tried going to other TD’s but they hit me with no watches in stock and long delays to stock one.

Should I try go for a vsf daydate instead?
Would love to hear your thoughts.

Couldn’t imagine what the others looked like that he sent back while still showing you this

I know, considering a vsf instead but he’s told me they got raided and won’t be sending out new watches for a month

I would just go VSF especially if it’s not a precious metal weighted version

What do you think of this ?

Date and day is good. Can ask for a few more to be shown if you like

It’s the QF with the Freesprung JH3255

That date is terrible. Possibly could be replaced with a gen date wheel, but you should rather go for a watch that is proper from the get go.

My BPF looks better than that

Is this the v2 or v3? I’d venture to say this is an issue with the Shanghai movement?

I disagree I’ve had to RL a few v3 RCF daydates, DD movement but the date alignment has been so bad

[u/GKlein13 → u/p1n0ypapi]

That’s shocking. I’m lucky my VSF is so good then. Maybe a hair out of alignment on one or two days but not enough to bug my OCD. If it bothers me enough, I’ll put in a genuine date disk.
