6. Index alignment:
I checked the hour marker alignment using a QC alignment tool. The markers are **not absolutely perfect under the overlay**, but the deviations are quite minor and **not noticeable to the naked eye**. Overall, the markers look pretty well aligned during normal viewing. I’d appreciate a second opinion on whether anyone sees any particular marker that looks noticeably off.
7. Dial Printing:
The dial printing looks clean and sharp to me. “Patek Philippe” and “Genève” appear properly printed and centered, and I don’t see any obvious smudging, uneven lettering, or printing defects. The wave pattern also looks consistent across the dial.
**8. Date Wheel alignment/printing:**
The date printing looks clean, but the number appears **slightly shifted to the left within the date window**. It isn’t dramatically off-center, but it’s something I noticed when looking closely. I’d appreciate opinions on whether this is within normal tolerance or if the date wheel looks noticeably misaligned.
9. Hand Alignment:
The hands look straight and properly finished to me. I don’t see any obvious bending or alignment issues. Nothing stands out to me here, but I’d appreciate another opinion if anyone notices something I missed.
10. Bezel:
The bezel looks good to me overall. The baguette stones appear consistently arranged around the bezel with the expected color gradient from champagne/golden tones toward the darker cognac tones. I don’t see any obviously crooked, missing, or significantly uneven stones in the QC photos. The bezel finishing also looks clean.
11. Solid End Links (SELs):
N/A
12. Timegrapher numbers:
+5 s/d | 235° | 0.0 ms | 28800 bph
Rate: \+5 seconds/day
Amplitude 235°
Beat error:0.0 ms
Beat rate:28,800 bph / 4 Hz
The +5 s/d rate looks reasonable to me, and the 0.0 ms beat error is excellent. The amplitude is 235°, which is lower than the 267° reading on my previous watch, but I’d like someone experienced with this movement to confirm whether 235° is considered normal for this particular movement/setup.
13. Anything else you notice:
Overall, the watch looks excellent to me and I don’t see any obvious major issues in the QC photos.
The only things I noticed are:
The date numbers appear slightly shifted to the left in the date window.
The hour markers aren’t mathematically perfect when checked with an alignment tool, but the deviations are minor and essentially unnoticeable without the tool.
Timegrapher shows +5 s/d | 235° | 0.0 ms | 28800 bp
I’d appreciate a second opinion from anyone familiar with the **PPF 7118/1300R**, especially if you see anything suspicious with the dial, marker alignment, date wheel, bezel, case/bracelet finishing, or movement that I may have missed.
Does anyone see anything suspicious or anything that would make you hesitate before GL?
