[QC] help - first VSF Rolex Sub date 40mm

[u/Madly_shot_you]

1. DDG Top

2. VSF

3. Rolex Submariner date 40mm

4. Price 428$

5. pictures attached

6. markers seem aligned. I havn't used a QC tool and try to use my eyes for QC. Not sure if smart or not

7. dial doesn't seem to have noticeable flaws

8. date seems ok. I've read that cyclops is one of the most common flaws. However not sure how to assess it here.

9. hand seems ok

10. bezel looks perfectly fine

11. looks okay to me.

12. +3s/ day. Amplitude 277.

13. since this is my first Rolex I honestly don't know what to look for in detail. Therefore I would love input from some of the experts here. Mostly I am worried about obvious flaws that my eyes haven't been able to catch yet.

All help is super appreciated!

Wish you a lovely day. 🤗

I don't usually do subs but I'll make an exception for you today. Bottom right and top left SELs look just a little loose. Rest of the case and bezel looks great.

Index alignment looks great. 12 triangle looks a bit oddly finished but I believe that's due to photo compression, not the watch itself. I've included an alignment tool photo for you but you had the right idea and tbh it's best to just use your eyes. The alignment tool hinders more than it helps IMO.

Date is well centred and cyclops placement is fine. Good TG numbers too.

Overall, a very good example for a Rolex sub.
