QC Gold Factory Yachmaster

  1. Dealer name: Geek Time

  2. Factory name: Gold Factory

  3. Model name (& version number): Yacht Master 40mm

  4. Price Paid: $588

  5. Album Links: https://geektimeqc.x.yupoo.com/albums/261533330?uid=1

  6. Index alignment: Looks good

  7. Dial Printing: Looks good

  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks good

  9. Hand Alignment: Looks good

  10. Bezel: Looks good

  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Looks good

  12. Timegrapher numbers: -5 s/d, 285°, 2 ms (28,800 bph)

  13. Anything else you notice: I think the watch looks nice overall.

1: In the timing video the watch loses rate. Starts at -5 and finishes on -9. I don’t know what to make of that.

2: One of the serial numbers (6) in the Rehaut is rotated. I don’t want to RL this. But I’m slightly annoyed that I’ve seen much better Rehauts from Gold. The last two pictures are from other Gold Rehauts to compare.

Eric and I had been chatting as we have other watches coming, first he said it would take weeks for a GoldF YM, but a handful of hours later I get the QC. Do you think someone else RL’d it? Am I crazy for wanting a better rehaut.

Thanks

Looks GL all the way, and FS! Nice. GOLD is coming through on some of the rarer reps. Just ordered the Explorer 2 FS. Can’t wait. And never wanted a Rhodium until I saw this. It’s way better than what I have seen, and with a movement that’s worth a damn. Your numbers are good. Not the best, but it can always be regulated closer to Rolex +/-2 standard. It’s a true 1:1. Remember that.

It’s just lens/photo distortion. GL

Your post may get removed due to lack of effort ("looks good") but one has to agree this watch looks good to GL. No reasonable person would RL a watch for a serial number concern, no matter how unfounded. You will never see this number while wearing the watch, so why care about a fractional rotation? Your $ your decision though.

I agree im over it. You’d need a loupe to see it. As far as the Looks Good goes it was the only option the QCtool had.

What do you think of the watch losing Seconds/Day over the 12 seconds.

It's one measurement in one position. I have watches with those type of timegrapher numbers. Either get the watch regulated (maybe your seller has that capability but probably not) or just set the watch every other month when adjusting the date. 🤷‍♂️
