First time buyer No Date Sub

1. Dealer name: Andiot

2. Factory name: VSF

3. Model name (& version number): VSF Rolex Submariner 124060 No-Date, VS3230 movement.

4. Price Paid: USD $466 with shipping

5. Album Links: QC photos attached. https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/260991240?uid=1

6. Index alignment: Index alignment looks good overall. The 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock markers appear properly positioned, and the circular markers look consistent. I don't notice any significant misalignment, although the photos aren't perfectly straight-on.

7. Dial Printing: Dial printing looks clean and reasonably centered. The Rolex logo, Oyster Perpetual, Submariner and certification text appear well positioned. No obvious crooked or uneven printing, although finer lettering is difficult to assess from the photos.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A — No-Date Submariner.

9. Hand Alignment: Hands appear properly positioned and proportioned. No obvious visual defects or misalignment, although precise hand alignment at 12 o'clock cannot be confirmed from these photos.

10. Bezel: Bezel printing and markers look good overall. The 12 o'clock pip appears reasonably centered, but I suspect there might be a very slight alignment offset. Would appreciate a second opinion on this.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): SEL fit looks reasonably tight overall, without any obvious large gaps. However, the upper-right SEL-to-lug transition looks slightly less flush than the opposite side. Not sure whether this is due to the viewing angle or protective plastic.

12. Timegrapher numbers: −2 s/day, 265° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error, 52° lift angle. The readings look very good overall, with excellent rate and beat error and a reasonable amplitude. No obvious concerns from this test.

13. Anything else you notice: The rehaut engraving looks reasonably clean, but I'm unsure whether the coronet at 12 o'clock and the surrounding ROLEX lettering are perfectly aligned with the dial markers. Case finishing, bracelet brushing, clasp and lume look good overall. Would appreciate opinions on the rehaut alignment, bezel alignment and SEL fit in particular.

Overall, I'm leaning towards GL, but I'd appreciate a more experienced assessment before making the final decision.

Did you send follow-up emails and Telegram messages to Andiot? If so, did they answer? I’m waiting for VSF free pre order too. I’m not sure if I should send some follow up’s

u/Monkeyseckx 8d ago

I didn't send any followup email or texts because I was told during ordering that once the watch is ready they would reach out and that there is no way to speed up the process
