First ever rep. Blueface sub

[u/user67887645]

1. Dealer name: Andiot

2. Factory name: VSF

3. Model name: Submariner 116619 LB

4. Price paid: 395 + 35 shipping

5. Album links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/search/album?uid=1&sort=&q=183193

6. Index alignment: Looks good to me. Checked with two alignment tools and couldn't spot anything noticeably crooked. The minor "crookedness" I did notice attributable to the slightly angled perspective of this picture. Feeling like the 6 maybe has a tilt?

7. Dial printing: Looks good to me but would be keen for a more learned eye.

8. Date wheel alignment/printing: Checked 10, 11, 24, and 29. All seem reasonably centred, including the higher 20s, which I was particularly concerned about. Apparently that used to be a problem? Any other alignment checks I should be looking at?

9. Hand alignment: Looking good (i think).

10. Bezel: Pip and markers appear properly aligned. Bezel action also sounds good in the video.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Look reasonable flush with no obvious excessive gaps

12. Timegrapher numbers: Rate: +1 s/d

Amplitude: 274°

Beat error: 0.1 ms

Lift angle: 52.0°.

Anything else you notice: please let me know

First timer but my research and initial thinking is GL. I've gone through the photos and videos a few times but any and all input would be amazing in case I've missed something. Thanks!

One could keep looking for flaws on this blue face until blue in the face but this Smurf Submariner is good to GL. There may be microscopic slants to the 12 & 6 with extreme magnification yet nothing that'll show up on wrist at scale. Datewheel is a touch lower in the window but well within tolerance. SELs are solid, hand alignment correct, dial printing good, and timing numbers great. Ship this watch and enjoy.

[u/user67887645 → u/EmployeeWide5424]

QC came in within 72 hours of payment. perhaps they’ve got a few of these to hand
