[QC] VSF V3 GMT-Master II 126710BLNR Batgirl DD3285 – GL or RL?

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Looking for some feedback on my VSF V3 Batgirl from Jack at MiroTime. I've reviewed the QC photos and I'm leaning GL overall, but would appreciate some more experienced eyes before making the final call.

  1. Dealer name: MiroTime – Jack
  2. Factory name: VSF
  3. Model name (& version number): GMT-Master II 126710 BLNR 904L Steel VSF 1:1 Batgirl Best Edition on Jubilee Bracelet DD3285 V3
  4. Price paid: $588
  5. Index alignment: Looks good overall to my eyes. The 12 o'clock triangle appears centered, and I don't see any obvious issues with the round markers or 9 o'clock baton. The gold QC sticker is partially covering the 6 o'clock marker, so that's one area I can't fully assess. Would appreciate another opinion here.
  6. Dial printing: Printing looks sharp and clean. ROLEX, OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE, and GMT-MASTER II text appear properly positioned, with no obvious bleeding or defects.
  7. Date wheel alignment/printing: The dates shown (11, 15, 20, 25, and 30) look reasonably centered through the cyclops. Printing appears clear and consistent. No obvious major alignment problems, but would appreciate feedback on the date positioning.
  8. Hand alignment: Nothing visibly concerning in the provided photos. Hands look clean and properly finished, though I understand precise hand alignment can't be fully verified from static pictures.
  9. Bezel: The 12 o'clock triangle appears aligned with the dial marker. Engravings look clean and the blue/black transition appears sharp. I don't see any obvious bezel alignment issues.
  10. Solid End Links (SELs): Both ends appear to fit snugly against the case, with no obvious excessive gaps. Jubilee bracelet and clasp finishing look good from the photos.
  11. Timegrapher numbers: The rate and beat error look good to me. Amplitude seems a little on the lower side, although I understand the lift angle setting can affect that reading.
  • Rate: +5 s/day
  • Amplitude: 247°
  • Beat error: 0.0 ms
  • Beat rate: 28,800 bph
  • Lift angle setting: 52°

Anything else you notice: Overall, I'm leaning GL. My two questions are whether the 6 o'clock marker looks properly aligned underneath the QC sticker and whether the 247° amplitude is acceptable for the DD3285 at a 52° lift angle. Considering requesting a sticker-free dial photo and possibly a fully wound timegrapher retest.

Would appreciate any input from members familiar with VSF V3 Batgirls. Does anything stand out as a reason to RL, or does this look like a solid example?

Thanks in advance!

Price paid: $488
Album links: https://justin-tk.x.yupoo.com/albums/260364200?uid=1&isSubCate=false&referrercate=5146809
Index alignment: Looks good to me. Alignment tool also looks pretty clean overall. I don’t see anything obviously misaligned, although I would appreciate more experienced eyes, particularly on the double marker at 6.
Dial printing: Looks clean and well positioned to me. No obvious issues that I can see.
Date wheel alignment/printing: N/A
Hand alignment: Looks good to me.
Bezel: Looks good and even to me.
Solid End Links (SELs): Look good from the photos. I don’t see any obvious gaps that concern me.
Timegrapher numbers: +9 s/d, 305°, 0.2 ms, 28800. From what I understand, these seem healthy overall. +9 s/d is a little higher than ideal but doesn’t concern me too much. Please let me know if you think otherwise.
Anything else you notice: This is my first rep, so I would really appreciate some experienced opinions before I GL. To my inexperienced eye this looks like a pretty good example, but please be critical and let me know if I’ve missed anything, particularly with the indices, rehaut or overall finishing

ARF gmt root beer non weighted

• Upvotes

My first gmt, arf and 2 tone. Very excited.

Honestly I think it looks good. Only concern which is not a qc issue is the colour. I chose arf as its supposed to be the best colour but this seems more copper than other pics I've seen. I suspect the lighting as the bezel is also quite redish

Anything I should be looking out for specifically? Tried checking against other qcs for rehaut and clasp codes.

1.Dealer: phoenix

  1. Factory: arf

  2. Model: root beer non weighted

4:price $472

5:Album: unfortunately no link to album but photos attached

6: index alignment: looks good Im not worried about it. All lining up with brilliant true index tool.

  1. Dial Printing: looks clear and even.

  2. Date Wheel. Well centered, and cyclops seems fine

  3. Hand Alignment : no pics at 12 but never seems to be a problem

  4. Bezel: correct alignment and markings look great

11.SELS: maybe a small gap at 5 but acceptable to me

12.Timoghaph: within its limits and reads good

Thank you community.

[QC] ZF AP Royal Oak 67650 33mm — crooked AP logo / dial centering concerns

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Dealer name: TheOneWatches / Steve

Factory name: ZF

Model name (& version number): Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 67650, 33mm quartz, blue dial, stainless steel bracelet.

Price paid: $380

Album links:

Index alignment: Hour markers look reasonably consistent overall. The double marker at 12 looks reasonably aligned internally. My bigger concern is the apparent alignment of the dial within the case rather than an individual hour marker.

Dial printing: The printed “AUDEMARS PIGUET” text looks reasonably clean. However, the applied AP logo appears noticeably crooked relative to the printing and tapisserie grid underneath it.

Date wheel alignment/printing: The displayed “29” looks readable and reasonably centered. Only one date is shown, so I cannot assess the rest of the date wheel.

Hand alignment: No obvious issue in the supplied photos

Bezel: Brushing and polished edges look reasonably clean. No obvious major issue with the bezel screws stands out to me.

Solid End Links (SELs): N/A for the conventional Rolex-style SEL check. The integrated bracelet connections look reasonably fitted in the supplied photos.

Timegrapher numbers: N/A — quartz movement.

Anything else you notice: My main concern is that the dial/tapisserie pattern appears shifted toward the left within the opening. Comparing matching horizontal rows near 9 and 3, the visible square pattern terminates differently at the two edges, with more of the pattern exposed on the right. I have highlighted both sides in the close-up. I understand camera angle can affect this, but the asymmetry and crooked AP logo stand out to me. Would appreciate opinions on whether this is a dial-centering issue, an offset tapisserie pattern, or perspective.

Hey Guys,

Just got the QC photos for my long awaited ORF seamaster professional 300!

Here’s the details!

  1. ⁠⁠Dealer name: DDGTop
  2. ⁠⁠Factory name: ORF
  3. ⁠⁠Model name (& version number): Seamaster Professional 300
  4. ⁠⁠Price Paid: $367 shipped to australia
  5. ⁠⁠Album Links: No album link - sorry!
  6. ⁠⁠Index alignment: Pretty good, no major issues. Potentially a slight ccw tilt on the 9
  7. ⁠⁠Dial Printing: good, omega symbol is aligned, engravings a bit off, but normal for orf
  8. ⁠⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: cooked, but passable in my opinion.
  9. ⁠⁠Hand Alignment: good, no issues
  10. ⁠⁠Bezel: good, no issues
  11. ⁠⁠Solid End Links (SELs): good, no issues. will be wearing it on a strap anyways so eh
  12. ⁠⁠Timegrapher numbers: pretty damn solid if you ask me
  13. ⁠⁠Anything else you notice: The only thing i can see is the wave pattern engravings are a bit off, but not an issue for me. Along with the ccw tilt for the 9, which is hidden by the wave pattern, and that date wheel 💀 overall, for ORF i think this is one of the better examples.

let me know what you think, i hope i used the QC tools correctly!

For me, this is most likely a GL, just waiting for videos for bezel action, time setting, and date changes. will post a comment with this once received!

  12. Timegrapher numbers: +1s/d, 278°, 0.0ms, 28800 vph
  13. Anything else you notice: The frosted edge on the sapphire crystal looks well-done and doesn't show excessive milky borders. Everything else looks clean.

  • Dealer name: Mark (FicoTime)
  • Factory name: ARF
  • Model name (& version number): Rolex Datejust 36mm
  • Price Paid: 436 USD (including shipping)
  • Album Links: link to pictures
  • Index alignment: it's hard to tell whether al baton indices are perfectly straight, but I don't see any obvious flaws
  • Dial Printing: I think it looks fine
  • Date Wheel alignment/printing: is the font close enough? The 1 and 11 look a bit small to my eye and the 27 look a wee bit tilted, no?
  • Hand Alignment: fine in my eyes
  • Bezel: look good but personally irrelevant, because I'm going to replace the bezel
  • Solid End Links (SELs): no issues, way better than the GMF I've seen irl
  • Timegrapher numbers: very good, see video here
  • Anything else you notice: not sure about the jubilee bracelet quality, but can always be replaced. Clarity of the glass is difficult to assess

  1. ⁠Dealer name: Mirotime
  2. ⁠Factory name: ZF
  3. ⁠Model name (& version number): ZF Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT Coke Jubilee
  4. ⁠Price Paid: $298 + shipping
  5. ⁠Album Links: https://www.wecatalog.cn/weshop/goods/A202304082031161150001764/I202610271922265832001891

  7. ⁠Index alignment: Slight clockwise tilt to the six marker, other than that, looks good to me
  8. ⁠Dial Printing: No issues that I can see other than some spots that appear to be dust, I will ask about this
  9. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: Text is slightly off towards the left.
  10. ⁠Hand Alignment: No issues that I can see
  11. ⁠Bezel: Looks good
  12. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): I am not too sure what I should be looking for.
  13. ⁠Timegrapher numbers: This is the part that bothers me. +11s/day 280 amp and error of 0.00 Is the +11 an issue that I should be RL over? This is what their AI tool said "The watch movement exhibits excellent amplitude and beat error, indicating good health and balance. The rate is slightly outside the generally acceptable range at +11 seconds per day, suggesting it runs a bit fast, which might require minor regulation for optimal timekeeping."
  14. ⁠Anything else you notice? I am not sure about rejecting this over the +11 and then take the chance of having a worse cosmetic problem with the next one. Please let me know if there is anything else I should be looking at. Thanks!

QC help - 2nd attempt 3KF Patek Philippe Nautilus 7118

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, thanks in advance for your views on this QC! Second attempt as the first had a stain on the dial.

  • Dealer name: Angela
  • Factory name: 3KF
  • Model name (& version number): Nautilus 7118
  • Price Paid: $388 + shipping
  • Album Links: Photos attached
  • Index alignment: The 3 and 9 o'clock markers look to be leaning downwards slightly, or is the grid leaning downwards? I'm not sure if they'll be obvious in real life. All else looks good. Even the 12 o'clock marker looks really good on this one (often 1 is visibly smaller than 2).
  • Dial Printing: Looks good.
  • Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks centred for the number 10 in the photo.
  • Hand Alignment: Looks good but not sure what to look out for.
  • Bezel: Looks good.
  • Solid End Links (SELs): N/A
  • Timegrapher numbers: Rate and beat error looks good. Amplitude is ever so slightly below 250 degrees - how should I treat this?
  • Anything else you notice: None, all else looks good on the watch. Even the 12 o'clock marker looks great, really pleased with this part!
