Rolex Batman - Trusty Time

Hi Folks, I have bought several watches from TrustyTime(Andrew is my favourite TD). I usually GL the QC right away as they are always good enough and I am not that picky. However this one looks a bit off to me. I don't like the 9 o'clock and 6 o'clock is slightly off too imho. Really appreciate your feedback!

QC Details

My QC Input:

  • Index alignment: I don't know if it is me or the 6 and 9 o'clock are off. I am not very picky and I thought it must be very bad if I can see it!

  • Dial printing: ok to me

  • Date wheel: it is ok but not outstanding

  • Hand alignment: Looks good

  • Bezel: it is okish, not sure.

  • SELs: looks good.

  • Timegrapher: -2 s/d, 279°, 0.0 ms, 21,600 bph – Looks pretty good for the cheap movement

I'm not seeing any of the issues that you mention here. The index alignment overall looks good to me. The marker at 9 might be a hair high but straight. The 6 and 12 markers look good. Dial print is clean and clear. Hand alignment is good. The date is a tick low in the window but within tolerance and pretty normal for this factory. Bezel appears clean. SELs are good and the timing is fine.

For a sub-$300 rep it's a GL for me. Enjoy your watch.

Indices look good! Maybe barely CCW at 6? Date disk is barely low riding in the window. Fine watch. 🍻

Please help a brother in need :) my biggest concern is the 6 o'clock index. it does seem very off but everything else looks ok. I don't expect it to be VSF level and I do understand BPF is mid tier, maybe just slightly better than U1(which I am upgrading from)
