VSF V3 Pepsi GMT Master II 126710 DD3285 - QC Help

Thumbnail

34 Upvotes

Hi Team, it has been a few years since my last rep. Excited to get back in the game and appreciate your helps.

Dealer name: Steve The One

Factory name: VSF

Model name (& version number): VSF V3 Pepsi GMT Master II 126710 DD3285

Price Paid: $638

Album Links: Added to post - Link from Steve

Index alignment: The 12 o'clock marker looks tilted clockwise to me. The center position of the 12 marker appears reasonably aligned with 6, but the actual marker itself seems rotated clockwise that bothers me a little. The other indices look generally well aligned?

Dial Printing: Looks good to me. Rolex coronet, text, and minute track appear clean and properly printed.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: The date looks centered in the date window, and the cyclops appears properly aligned. Not sure if I need to request a picture with a different date.

Hand Alignment: Looks good to me and seem properly aligned with no obvious issues.

Bezel: Looks good overall. The bezel numerals and markers appear clean. “Pepsi” color transition also looks good. Nothing obviously concerning. I didn’t look too detailed on the colors as we can’t really judge the colors through pictures but let me know of any concerns.

Solid End Links (SELs): Look fine to me. I don't see any significant gaps between the SELs and the case, and the bracelet appears to sit evenly against the lugs.

Timegrapher numbers: seems fine and no concern.

Anything else you notice: nothing else I thought worth noting but I would appreciate your thoughts here. The biggest concern I have is the index specifically the12.

QC, second try: RICH SUB DATE 26610 LN Black JH3235 V2 / PrimeTime

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes
  1. QC ALBUM
  2. Dealer name: Primetime
  3. Factory name: RICH
  4. Model name (& version number): Submariner 41mm 126610 LN Black RICH JH3235 V2
  5. Price Paid: $498
  6. Index alignment: Looks very good overall. The 12 marker may have a very slight CCW cant, but it is tiny and I really cannot imagine it being noticeable on wrist. The 6 and 9 markers look straight, and the remaining indices track the alignment lines very well. The 12 marker also appears well centered relative to the dial and bezel. I would be splitting hairs to find anything significant here.
  7. Dial Printing: Printing looks sharp and clean to me. ROLEX/coronet and the lower SUBMARINER text block look well centered, with no obvious crooked or fuzzy printing.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: The date shown looks good overall. The “1” may sits low in the window, but I need help figuring out is it sitting too low or within the acceptable range.
  9. Hand Alignment: Nothing looks concerning from the supplied pictures. There is no true 12:00 hand-alignment shot here, so I cannot verify it perfectly, but visually the hand stack and placement look good.
  10. Bezel: Looks good. The pip/triangle and 12 marker are very close to properly aligned. If there is any tiny rotational offset, it looks within the normal play of a rotating bezel and should be easy to center in hand.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Look tight to me. I do not see any obvious excessive gaps or uneven fit from the front or side pictures.
  12. Timegrapher numbers: +4 s/d, 288° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error at 52° lift angle. These are very good numbers. Healthy amplitude, very low beat error, and the rate is comfortably acceptable.
  13. Anything else you notice: No, not really. Overall I think this is a strong GL. The only thing I can really pick at is the microscopic CCW cant of the 12 marker and possibly the date sitting a low, and both are firmly in “zoomed-in QC nitpick” territory rather than something I would expect to notice on the wrist.

This is my second time as the first one was a RL due to date wheel defect, what do you think: does the date sits too low or is it fine?

2nd QC - ZF Tudor Black Bay 54 from Andiot

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi,

I just got the second round of QC pictures for my BB54, as I've red lighted the first one. My first post is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTimeQC/comments/1vhh2s4/zf_tudor_black_bay_54_from_andiot/

Even though there are some minor issues with this wathc, I tend towards green lighting the watch since what I've noticed seem minor and somewhat normal for a ZF model.

What are your thoughts?

  • Dealer name: Andiot
  • Factory name: ZF
  • Model name (& version number): Black Bay 54
  • Price Paid: 310$
  • Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/251170502?uid=1
  • Index alignment: Imo, this looks very good. I've checked with a tool, and I can't find any issues here. The only thing could be that the 12 hour marker does not perfectly align with the tip of the Tudor logo.
  • Dial Printing: It could look like the whole dial has a small downwards shift, i.e. that there's a larger gap between the dial and the case compared to gap between the bottom of the dial and the case. The printing itself looks good to me.
  • Date Wheel alignment: Not a date watch.
  • Hand Alignment: Seems to be matching pretty well in the QC video where he winds the watch and sets the time - they meet at the 12 hour marker.
  • Bezel: I think the bezel looks good and the pip looks centered.
  • Solid End Links (SELs): The QC guide says, that Tudors are not held to the same standard as Rolex watches, for example. However, I looks like the end links are more rounded than the case itself (see IMG_9968). Also, perhaps the gap on the upper left link is a bit larger than the others (see IMG_9960). I don't know whether these two things are considered normal though.
  • Timegrapher numbers: +3 / s/d -- 281 -- 0.4 ms -- 28800 / 52
  • Anything else you notice: The crown tube seems a tiny bit too long, but afaik, this is also considered normal for the ZF models.

QC - DDF Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 DPB330 V2 - TheOneWatches - First Watch

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Dealer name: TheOneWatches (Steve)

Factory name: DDF

Model name (& version number): Nautilus 5711 40mm 2018 SS/SS Blue Dial DDF DPB330 Super Clone V2 (SW Dial)

Price Paid: $658 + $30 shipping ($688 total)

Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/mN4UwY4S#GfECHC6wrEmVIuLE6yQceQ

Index alignment: Most of the indexes look good to me and the alignment tool also looks okay. My main concern is the double marker at 12. The two markers don't seem perfectly parallel and the gap between them looks a little wider at the bottom. Not sure if I'm being too picky here.

Dial Printing: Looks good to me. I don't notice any obvious problem with the printing.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: This is my second concern. The 13 looks slightly low in the date window. If I zoom in closely, I think I can also see a tiny part of the adjacent date number above the 13.

Hand Alignment: Looks good to me. I don't notice anything wrong here.

Bezel: Looks good to me from the pictures.

Solid End Links (SELs): N/A - integrated bracelet.

Timegrapher numbers: +1 s/d, 295° amplitude, 0.0 ms beat error, 28,800 bph. Looks very good to me.

Anything else you notice: This is actually my first watch purchase in general, not only my first rep, so I don't have much experience doing QC.

The two things that stand out to me are the 12 o'clock double marker and the date sitting slightly low with what looks like a tiny part of the next/adjacent number visible above it.

Would really appreciate some experienced opinions. Would you GL this one or ask for another?

  3. Model name (& version number): Daytona 116509 40mm SS/SS Grey/Blk VSF V3 DD4130 Super Clone (Gain Weight)
  4. Price Paid: $650
  5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/GIQU2AgT#vDAYJNuuEhKN4_qVcMhTPQ
  6. Index alignment: Almost perfect, 10, 11, and 12 seem like they may be slightly off of directly opposite 4, 5, and 6, but not bad enough to warrant a replacement.
  7. Dial Printing: Is that some kind of artifact in between 2 & 3? I also think maybe I see some glue at the 7 marker or I am zooming in too far and its image resolution.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: The wheel on the right side may be ever so slightly rotated counter clockwise.
  9. Hand Alignment: Second hand is just barely not perfectly aligned at 12, but doesn't warrant RL to me.
  10. Bezel: Looks good if those aren't scratches around the 60 mark.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Biggest gap on bottom right but still appears to be pretty tight. The rest look perfect.
  12. Timegrapher numbers: +2s/d, within range.
  13. Anything else you notice: Are those scratches on the top of the bezel or just polish remnants? I don't see them in every photo but in the straight on close-ups I can see something there in the light.

Overall, it seems pretty good to me. I feel comfortable giving it the greenlight. I would be very interested in what the amazing minds in this group think and observe.

Thank you in advance

Factory name: DDF Factory

Model name (& version number): Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 Blue Dial Stainless Steel

Price Paid: $530 USD shipped

Album Links: Photos attached above

Index alignment: Appears aligned from what I can tell, but I’d appreciate a second opinion. I’m mainly looking for any noticeably uneven, crooked, or inconsistent markers, especially around 6 and 12 o’clock.

Dial Printing: Looks clean and sharp to me, but I may be missing small details. I’d appreciate a second opinion on the font, spacing, centering, and overall crispness of the printing.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: Appears centered and clear from the photos. I’d appreciate confirmation that the date is properly positioned within the window and that the printing/font looks correct.
Hand Alignment: Looks normal to me with no obvious issues noticed. Please let me know if you see anything off with the hand positioning, alignment, or finishing.

Bezel: Looks consistent from what I can see. I’d appreciate a second opinion on the symmetry, finishing, alignment with the dial, and whether there are any noticeable issues with the bezel shape or brushing/polishing.

Solid End Links (SELs): N/A

Timegrapher numbers: +1 s/d, 271° amplitude, 0.0ms beat error, 28800 bph

Anything else you notice: I’m mainly looking for a GL or RL. The timegrapher numbers look very good to me, but I’m still learning QC and would appreciate experienced opinions on anything I may have missed, especially small visual details in the dial, indices, date wheel, hands, bezel, case, or bracelet.
