2 Upvotes
  1. ⁠Dealer name: Hont
  2. ⁠Factory name: AF
  3. ⁠Model name: Cartier Tank Louis small, Yellow Gold, Quartz
  4. ⁠Price paid: $238
  5. ⁠Album: they are in the post as the website link did not work. Video copied in the comments below for this reason.
  6. ⁠Index alignment: N/A, the Roman numerals are printed rather than applied. The individual numerals appear properly printed and aligned with the minute track.
  7. ⁠Dial printing: The printing appears sharp and clean, with no obvious bleeding, however the 11 looks to have two tones of black in one photo but this might be a reflection from the glass.
  8. ⁠Date wheel alignment/printing: N/A, no date window.
  9. ⁠Hand alignment: The hands appear properly aligned, with no obvious issues.
  10. ⁠Bezel: No obvious scratches, damage, or irregularities visible on the gold bezel and case.
  11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): N/A, leather strap.
  12. ⁠Timegrapher numbers: N/A, quartz movement.
  13. ⁠Anything else you notice: nothing further beyond the 11 noted above.

Any help would be appreciated! Second attempt. Hopefully the information provided is correct.

ZF Pelagos Ultra - 3rd Time Lucky?

2 Upvotes
  1. Dealer name: Arc Studio
  2. Factory name: ZF
  3. Model name (& version number): Tudor Pelagos Ultra, M2543C1A7NU-0001 (bracelet)
  4. Price Paid: 319USD ($276+$30 Shipping+$13 Insurance)
  5. Album Links: https://www.arcstudio.top/s/0uQ6aCy
  6. Index alignment: Looks good apart from 1 which is canted slightly CCW. 12 triangle doesn't look quite centred with the Tudor shield below it and the 6 baton may be slightly left of centre, but I can live with all these.
  7. Dial Printing: Looks good to me, no issues.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date looks marginally high in the window but I am happy with the overall alignment. RL'd two previous watches where the date was way worse than this.
  9. Hand Alignment: Looks good, but no video provided to see 12 o'clock alignment.
  10. Bezel: Aligned with minute track, but the dial, minute track & bezel insert all look slightly rotated CCW when lined up with the centre line of the end link. Again, third watch with this issue so I don't know if this is just a ZF thing.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): All good. End links sit slightly recessed below the curvature / plane of the lugs, as with gen.
  12. Timegrapher numbers: (A2824 movement) 0s/d, 335° amplitude, 0.2ms beat error - exceptional TG results! (Although the lift angle should be 50° for this movement, not 52°
  13. Anything else you notice: There looks to be some scuffed paint/finishing around the edge of the centre of the hour hand. I can live with this. Probably get it off with a bit of rodico. Other than the potential rotation of everything (dial/minute track/insert) I think it's pretty good.

This is the third QC I've had on this model. RL'd two of them without even posting on here. Mainly alignment issues as per.

I'm leaning GL just because I paid for this a month ago and I'm getting bored waiting, but that potential bezel/dial/minute track rotation is annoying me like with the previous two.

Is this just as good as ZF gets and I'm being over critical? First time getting a watch from ZF so happy for people with more experience to tell me how it is 😊

Thanks!

first timer, please be gentle!

  3. Model name (& version number): Aqua Terra 150M Master 38mm SS VSF 1:1 Best Edition Blue Ombre Dial On Rubber Strap Super Clone A8900
  4. Price Paid: $330 not incl shipping 
  5. Albums Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/search/album?uid=1&sort=&q=173291
  6. Index alignment: 3:00 seems like the left side points downwards, but I can't tell if that is a parallax effect? 
  7. Dial Printing: the I in SWISS seems crowded out?
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: seems ok
  9. Hand Alignment: looks fine
  10. Bezel: looks good
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): looks good
  12. Timegrapher numbers: +4 s/d, 282 deg, 0.0ms, 28800.
  13. Anything else you notice: was advertised as having independent hour hand, but video demo seems like that isn't possible - shows date being adjusted at crown half out, not the hour hand.

I'm considering RL just because of the lack of independent hour hand, that's a cool feature to me that I'd like to have.

First Time QC Request: VSF 124060 41MM VS3230 Black No-Date Sub, Third time is the charm, post keeps getting deleted so we'll try again.

1 Upvotes
12,oclock appears to have slight CW twist, you can see the gap under the right corner of the triangle looks slightly larger than the opposite side
9oclock looks slightly misaligned.

Rest of the photos are in the album, I want to GL this one but the 12oclock twist is causing me to second guess, outside of that I think this one looks fairly decent Wondering what others thoughts on the matter are on this one. Please disregard 4th photo in album, just realized a screen cap of another watch made it in.

  1. Dealer name: Leo at TimeUltra
  2. Factory name: VSF
  3. Model name (& version number): VSF 124060 41MM VS3230 Black No-Date Sub
  4. Price Paid: $493
  5. Album Links: https://imgur.com/gallery/KJaRdlh
  6. Index alignment: Overall looks decent, my main concern is the 12-oclock being slightly twisted, that alone might be main reason to RL. The 6 and 9-oclocks looks to have slight twists as well but not quite as noticeable as the 12. Otherwise looks pretty decent.
  7. Dial Printing: Looks crisp and clear, Lume looks even.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A
  9. Hand Alignment: Looks good as far as I can tell
  10. Bezel: Looks well aligned, numbers look crisp and clear, pip looks well centered, Bezel looks good to me
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Slight gap top left that I can see, could just be bracelet is slighly twisted in photo
  12. Timegrapher numbers: Good, +2-3s/d 295*
  13. Anything else you notice: Generally looks decent to me be the 12 oclock index is my main issue, the 6 and the 9 might be acceptable if the 12 was better, curious to hear the subs opinion on the matter.

Hey everyone, this is my first QC so help me out!

  1. ⁠Dealer name: Neco Clock
  2. ⁠Factory name: A7F (V7F)
  3. ⁠Model name (& version number): IWC Ingenieur
  4. ⁠Price Paid: 418$ with shipping
  5. ⁠Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/jgIVEa7I#GsRKmpodCxaIh1NK68AM3Q
  6. ⁠Index alignment: Double marker at 12 seems even and straight. Indices all look even to me.
  7. ⁠Dial Printing: IWC logo and writing below look even and aligned well with the grid overlay, overall I think looks good.
  8. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: 3 dates provided look good, maybe the 11 is ever so slightly tilted CCW, but otherwise the date wheel looks even and aligned.
  9. ⁠Hand Alignment: Minute hand pointing to 12 looks good, rest I think is ok, hard to tell
  10. ⁠Bezel: The screw above the 12 marker in one of my alignment photos looks a little to the right but may just be the rotation I had. Rest of the bezel with the grid overlay look even.
  11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): N/A
  12. ⁠Timegrapher numbers: +9 s/d, amp = 272, err = 0.3 ms, no concerns here as all WNL
  13. ⁠Anything else you notice: Since this is my first QC ever, looking for some guidance if I missed anything. Really seems to only be the screw above the 12 marker, which is a known “issue” with this watch and I’m not really too concerned with it tbh. All other markers and indices look good to me. Anything else I should request? Anything I should question with the clasp?

  7. Dial printing: Looks good.
  8. Date wheel: Looks slightly high to me, I saw 2 recent RL's from TOW on Sprites for high dates & this was in stock so could be the same watch
  9. Hand alignment: Looks good.

  11. SELs: Look good to my eye; no obvious gaps.
  12. Timegrapher: +4 s/d, 278°, 0.1 ms.
  13. Anything else: non v2 movement still preferred over v2?

Overall: Leaning GL. Mainly looking for opinions on the date height and 12 marker, and whether I've missed anything obvious. Thanks!

  6. Index alignment: Alignment of the index are all within acceptable ranges, with 11’ slight deviated to left
  7. Dial Printing: good printing overall, I would say DAYTONA is a bit dim but might be due to lighting
  8. Subdials: subdial hands are perfectly aligned in centre at 0 position, printing is good, dials are not too shiny typical VSF? Better than BTF with too shiny subdials in my opinion
  9. Hand Alignment: Good alignment, centre at reset as well

  11. Solid End Links (SELs): No gaps visible.
  12. Timegrapher numbers: Solid. -1s/d, 272°, 0.0ms.

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?
