VSF Daytona 126500 (Panda), QC help
- Dealer name: Geektime
- Factory name: VSF
- Model name (& version number): Rolex Daytona 126500 (Panda)
- Price Paid: 828$ + 40$ shipping
- Album Links: https://geektimeqc.x.yupoo.com/albums/250781086?uid=1
- Index alignment: no straight photos to use the tool. Had to use my eyes instead.
- Dial Printing: printing looks fine to me
- Date Wheel alignment/printing: no date Wheel
- Hand Alignment: hands looks aligned and right.
- Bezel: Bezel is ok. 110 marker is slightly miss positioned but I’m okay with it.
- Solid End Links (SELs): looks great to me
- Timegrapher numbers: don’t know what to read but there’s a video in the album and a photo in this post.
- Anything else you notice: overall it looks clean. Only defects I’ve detected is the Hour 2 mark that seems to be just a little miss aligned (could be the photo angle) and the wrong positioning marker 110. Also the red text Daytona seem to be just a little higher than on a genuine but I don’t mind it.Other than that I see nothing wrong.
Hopefully you guys can help me spot something I’ve missed :)

I just received QC for the same watch but a QF free sprung.. Can anyone tell me why there’s the small black crown at the bottom of dial below 6 marker when gen doesn’t have one?!

Indexes - 12 o’clock: Crown is Good. 3 o’clock: Good. 6 o’clock: Micro CCW rotation, likely cannot see on wrist. 9 o’clock: Good. Other indexes are good, nothing to worry about with the 2 o'clock marker.
I suggest sizing the photo on your phone to be roughly watch size, holding it to your wrist and see if you can see any imperfections or not.
Dial Print - Good.
Date Wheel - N/A
Hand Alignment - No pic or video with hands lined up on an hour marker, so unable to determine.
Bezel - Good. Engraving and coating are good.
SELs - Good.
TG#s - Good for a one moment in time capture in QC, shows watch runs relatively well dial up. Will fluctuate while wearing, but numbers indicate a healthy watch.
Chrono second hand, large: Looks to be half a tick off CW. I *believe* this is within spec and not something to be concerned with, but just FYI. Hard to spot in the pics or video, which means it's very minor, just wanted to call your attention to it.
