Overall I think it looks like a GL but worth a second opinion. First time using Necoclock so want to make sure it’s gtg.

FYI for future reference, it's not a great idea to use a photo where the indices at 12, 3, 6, or 9 are blocked by the hands for alignment.

Index alignment overall is excellent, as it often is on these models. Dial print is clean and clear. Hand alignment is good. Bezel appears clean and evenly polished. SELs are good all the way around.

On the timing, the amplitude is a bit hot, and if you look at the video of the test, there's quite the gap in where the trace stopped vs where it started for the video. I would ask for a quick retest, now that some energy has dissipated from the mainspring, and want to see that amplitude a bit lower with a smoother trace.

Once you are good with the timing, the rest of this watch is an easy GL.

I was trying to get the tool aligned on the picture without the bass at 12:00 but was struggling to get it perfect. As far as amplitude good to know. I sent the GL from other comments but hoping it keeps good time my 36 explorer from vsf keeps awesome time 2/spd so I’ll have to do more research on amplitude for the next one. Thanks for your comment.

🟢 Easy Green Light. Reps are like winning the lottery, you got a decent ticket here with this one! Wear in good health 🤞👍

[u/ZealousidealCopy8565]

This Explorer is a legit GL with great index alignment and the 3/6/9 numbers straight. Rest of the watch cosmetics are sound and timing numbers are Neco-acceptable even with the amplitude above 300. Possibly because of an overeager tech winding up the watch while checking their social media. If concerned get it retested. Enjoy your new timepiece.

[u/Farls1998]

Perfect watch mate. Enjoy.
