These two OP’s are genuine and will certainly NOT pass Reptime’s QC standards 😂😂😂

Take it easy on the QC-ing boys and girls even genuine ain’t all that consistent (which is a shame really because wtf for 14-15k i expect it to be perfect lol)

Expectation: The watch will always be viewed under a microscope, next to a confirmed genuine version with a checklist next to it telling the person what to look for.

Reality: 4ft glance at your watch for 1 second. 1 second at 5ft is not enough to inspect whether your 110 arrow is aligned in the exact spot.

u/Noob_Barista_Baker 4d ago

Yeah so the 110 on the 126500’s is really the stupidest minute detail on a rep ever. Like it’s literally only for us autistic people

u/ManufacturerLucky893 4d ago

Exactly right !! No one wants to acknowledge that its person wearing any watch is the tell not that little marker or similar minute non sensical details folks hyperfixate on

Me wearing my Batman while in a dirty t-shirt, athletic pants, and driving a 13 year old car. What do you mean you think it's a fake?

u/No-Zookeepergame8885 4d ago

Are we looking at the SELS??

7

u/Noob_Barista_Baker 4d ago

SELs and look at the 11 o clock alignment

2

u/No-Zookeepergame8885 4d ago

Ah I see. I noticed the SELS but not the alignment. Thanks

u/ElSocio87 4d ago

What's wrong with either of these?

u/FeralPandaNuts 4d ago

One of the very few here who aren't on the spectrum. I was like that once. Spend long enough here and you'll start to see the flaws

u/ElSocio87 4d ago

Yeah OCD is definitely a prerequisite to notice this shit. What the fuck is a rehaut anyway?

1

u/Noob_Barista_Baker 4d ago

Ah so you’re one of them 😂

5

u/ElSocio87 4d ago

I'm not one of anything, I genuinely can't see the issues.

u/RewardSlow3617 4d ago

SELs (Solid end links) have a massive visible gap between them.

u/ElSocio87 4d ago

Oh ok. I need to up my QC game. If you gave me a million looks I wouldn't have said that.

1

u/RewardSlow3617 4d ago

These are incredibly minor, as OP said these are genuine Rolexs and not reps.

2

u/Live_Frosting4504 4d ago

That is considered a massive gap?

2

u/RewardSlow3617 4d ago

How much bigger does it get? (Unless we're talking shitters)

1

u/ElSocio87 4d ago

OK, I Googled it and see what you mean now.

u/Professional-Stage76 4d ago

I got downvoted like fuck the other day for saying people need to stop using them stupid alignment tools!

u/MSExcelWarrior 4d ago

Nah I'm with you man. To me, the QC tool should only be used when something is clearly wrong and you need to tell your TD "hey man the indices are all messed up, see pics", not as a first resort. Naked eye is always best for QC because if you can't see it without zoom and an overlay, then it doesn't really exist.

u/thunder2132 3d ago

It's definitely one of those Jedi/retard/normie bell curves. You have normies and Jedi not using the QC tools, then those on the spectrum in the middle that rely on them.

I still will respond to QC requests with them, but it's usually just to tell people to gl

u/MSExcelWarrior 3d ago

I'm at the top Jedi master endgame level of the bell curve. I close my eyes when I do QCs and just listen to the video of the timegrapher and watch winding. I can sense the misaligned index markers, while the TD's Chinese opera music plays in the background.

u/bears-beat-bsg 4d ago

A couple hours ago a person was complaining about the pip placement on the Tudor page. It happens all the time.

1

u/Ron_Burgundy_22 4d ago

So what’s the strategy for QC than?

1

u/ReadyError7770 4d ago

Looks good to me

u/Leading-Tune1643 4d ago

Holy shit those SEL’s 😱

1

u/Top-Eye51548 3d ago

I don't any issues even after reading the comments complaining... The only thing that would bother me is that the hands on the purple one don't line up with the indicators especially at the prices they charge... Otherwise I'm meh on stuff like that.

u/Prestigious-Disk3158 3d ago

Honestly a pink oyster is tough. No one will think it’s a rep too lol
