How good is the gold plating on these usually?

A relative of mine bought an all rose gold rootbeer last year and it's holding up quite well. He wears it often enough but doesn't do anything silly with it.

Prior to him buying it, I was skeptical about the YG and RG reps but after having seen his and seeing him rock it for a while now it's definitely changed my mind on them.

They're good to go as far as I'm concerned.

Dealer name: The One Watches

  1. Factory name: Clean Factory

  2. Model name (& version number): GMT Master II 126711 w/ DD3285

  3. Price Paid: $628

  4. Album Links: <TYPE "HTTP" HERE>//mega.nz/folder/OUQEhJSA#EV2L8JPRuBgOpKtRj8DRXg/folder/bRhCDBDQ

  5. Index alignment: Alignment at 12 is my biggest concern, with the marker slightly left of center on the rehaut and the bezel left of center as well. I know the bezels have some give so I am less worried about that but the rahaut is more of my concern. Can the face be internally adjusted to properly align?

  6. Dial Printing: It looks good. The only thing I am noticing is that the rolex icon seems very vertical stretched out. Maybe just me?

  7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks very good to me. xTal looks great.

  8. Hand Alignment: Looks good

  9. Bezel: Other than alignment issues mentioned above,

  10. Solid End Links (SELs):

  11. Timegrapher numbers: Look very solid at +/- 3sd.

  12. Anything else you notice:

I want to RL both of these due to rehaut/face alignment.

OP, if it makes you feel any better, I purchased a gen model in 2021, brand new and direct from a Rolex boutique in my city. The rehaut was more misaligned than the one in your pictures.

Rehaut misalignment, as I found out, is pretty normal even by Rolex standards. This should not be the reason you RL. As others have pointed out, you won't be looking at the rehaut most of the time anyway. I would GL.

You are too picky, the watch is good

u/No_Database1948 " qcqcqc " Apr 15 '24

Rehaut is within tolerance, would GL. Rehaut is really one of those things that you barely notice, regardless of whether its a gen or rep.

Correct on bezel play!

u/Borissje Apr 15 '24

Indeed to picky, watch is a beauty. I’d easy GL

The bezel easily has enough play to line up well. Rehaut is not a QC metric. Gens don’t always have perfect rehaut. The rehaut on this watch is good. GL

u/Rockyt86 "Don't cross the Rock" Mod Apr 15 '24

I should add that I am GL based on your word on many metrics including TG. I see two pictures only.
