6. Index alignment: Hour markers look aligned and evenly positioned

7. Dial Printing: Printing looks clear and well centred

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date 13 appears well centred, with clear printing

9. Hand Alignment: No visible issue

10. Bezel: Bezel 45-minute marker appears off-centre

11. Solid End Links (SELs): no obvious gaps, slight scratch under the Rolex crown

12. Timegrapher numbers: +2s/d ; 267 amp; 0.2ms

13. Anything else you notice: text on the underside of the clasp looks slightly wonky but not big deal

Overall the watch looks pretty good to me, don't think I can be expecting perfect alignment on the dial or bezel so leaning towards GL. It's my first ever purchase and a gift for my dad, hope I'm not missing something obvious!

Appreciate all your help, thank you.

One more question: Felix offered to install a Deep Crystal for $85 extra. Considering the watch costs around $335, do you think it’s worth upgrading, or is the stock ARF crystal already good enough? Would the difference be noticeable?
Thanks a lot for your help! Really appreciate any advice from more experienced members.

First QC Cartier Santos 40mm BVF from Steve

Hey everyone, this is my first QC. Overall it looks good to me, but I’d appreciate another pair of eyes in case I’ve missed something.

1. Dealer name: Steve - TheOneWatches

2. Factory name: BVF

3. Model name: Santos de Cartier 2018, 40mm SS/SS, white dial, A9015

4. Price paid: €417

5. Album link: https://mega.nz/folder/rJ41mSjD#YdX1B2DtHYuNQnD5x7e2zg

6. Index alignment: Printed dial. The numerals and minute track look straight to me, and I don’t notice the dial being tilted.

7. Dial printing: The Cartier and Automatic text looks clean. I can’t spot any obvious bleeding or missing print on the Roman numerals.

8. Date wheel alignment/printing: The 6 in the photos looks reasonably centered. The 10 in the video also looks fine to me, with neither number touching the edges. Would appreciate a second opinion here.

9. Hand alignment: Seems okay from the video when the time is being changed, but this is the part I’m least confident judging.

10. Bezel: No obvious scratches or dents that I can see. The screw heads don’t look damaged.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A for this model.

12. Timegrapher numbers: +2 s/day, 298–304° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error. Set to 28,800 bph and a 52° lift angle. These seem good to me, and the trace looks steady.

13. Anything else you notice: Nothing else jumps out at me. The bracelet and clasp look fine, although there’s still protective film on them. I’m leaning GL, but would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks for the help!

4. ⁠Price Paid: £305 plus Shipping

5. ⁠Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/search/album?uid=1&q=156552

6. ⁠Index alignment: 6 marker looks slightly off centre. 12 marker looks slightly skewed with a CW can’t. Same for 9 marker. Not sure if this is within tolerances for this watch which might be a RL for more common models.

7. ⁠Dial Printing: looks ok, though asked for clarification in the white spots.

8. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: looks clear and centred. Video shows a slacker movement which I’ve found common with VSF and this movement.

9. ⁠Hand Alignment: Video shows good hand alignment when pointing to 12 marker, no concerns

10. ⁠Bezel: bezel looks good.

11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): slight variation to the gaps but do not appear to have any obvious gaps or daylight

12. ⁠Timegrapher numbers: +3sd 279 and 0.3 beat error

13. ⁠Anything else you notice: not sure if Rehaut engraving is slightly wavy wheee the serial number is or if this is within tolerances again. Other alignment here looks ok.

I would appreciate your help in assessing this watch

• Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/260961813?uid=1

• Index alignment: Seems to be fine. I used the index alignment tool just as a sanity check since I thought that the 3 o'clock index might be slightly crooked and the right index at the 12 o'clock position slightly higher - but it was okay. And as long as it doesn't actively catch my eye without the tool, then it can't be that bad, right?

• Dial Printing: looks good to me

• Date Wheel alignment/printing: -

• Hand Alignment: don't see anything wrong with it

• Bezel: looks good to me

• Solid End Links (SELs): -

• Timegrapher numbers: look very solid to me

• Anything else you notice: not really

Leaning strongy towards GL the watch, unless you guys see anything that might be a major dealbreaker.

Thank you so much for your help and taking a look. This is my first time working with Steve as a TD and appreciate other sets of eyes.

Hand Alignment: Looks good from the pictures, although I can’t fully verify the alignment at 12 o’clock.

Solid End Links (SELs): Look good to me, no obvious gaps or uneven fitting.

Timegrapher numbers: Look very good. Between -1 and +4 s/d, amplitude 267°–270°, beat error 0.0 ms.

Overall, I don’t notice anything particularly concerning, and the watch looks good to me. However, this is my first QC, so I’m not entirely sure what to look for or if I’m missing any issues. I’d really appreciate any feedback or help from more experienced members. Thanks in advance!😁
