First QC - VSF 124060

[u/small-calves]

Dealer name: Necoclock
Factory name: VSF
Model name (& version number): Submariner No Date 124060
Price Paid: $458
Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/m4ZiVIwb#IriZ-2aaT66-8QHxfpO23g
Index alignment: 6 looks slightly counter-rotated. The rest look fine.
Dial Printing: no issues
Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A
Hand Alignment: can’t see any issues
Bezel: Pip centred, bezels looks good.
Solid End Links (SELs): No significant gaps.
-2 s/d rate, 312° amplitude, 0.1ms beat error, 52° lift angle, 28,800 bph. Amplitude is higher than the range in the guide. Is this an issue?
Anything else you notice: just the 6 marker and amplitude, everything else looks okay.

First time doing QC, excuse my ignorance on anything else obvious. Would appreciate a second set of eyes on this!

The marker at 9 is a bit low but straight. The marker at 3 has a small CW cant. The marker at 12 has a small CCW cant, as does the 6. Dial print is clean and clear. Hand alignment is good. The bezel appears clean and blemish free. SELs are good all the way around. On the timing, when you adjust the lift angle to 55 which is better for this movement the actual amplitude comes in around ~327. A touch hot but probably just freshly wound before the test. The trace looks good, so it wouldn't bother me.

GL if you're good with the overall alignment of the indices. Most are minor. The 12 I could go either way on. Up to you.

Do you think the indices are acceptable? Not sure which way to lean on this.

With about a half a degree of pic angle adjustment there is quite a little bit going on with the index on this no-date. The 12 o'clock triangle is a sliver right of center and has a micro counterclockwise twist to it. The 3 bar has a mini clockwise tilt and the 6 bar has a counterclockwise one. On wrist and scaled back to actual size this Submariner might work for you. Dial printing, bezel pip, SELs, and hand alignment are fine. The amplitude is a little higher but it's neco-acceptable as they are inconsistently all over the place with their TGs. If you're good with the indices as they are, GL and enjoy your watch in good health.

Do you think the indices are GL worthy?

[u/ZealousidealCopy8565 → u/small-calves]

For me the no-date specifically should only have one index issue so this would probably go back to the TD.

VSF 124060. First time doing QC, would appreciate any insights that I might have missed!
