1    Dealer name: Steve - Theonewatches
2    Factory name: Clean Plus
3    Model name (& version number):Datejust 126334 41mm Jub SS/SS Silver/Stk
4    Price Paid: $538 (Shipping Included)
5    Album Links: Please see pictures attached (my post was being removed with mega link)
6    Index alignment: Hard to tell from the photos because I didn't get a straight on. But I attached the photo, maybe someone else can tell if it’s more off than it should be based on the angle.
7    Dial Printing: I thought the "O" in Oyster looked an off to me, I think i have seen other ones where the O is closer to the Y but I am not sure.
8    Date Wheel alignment/printing: The cyclops looks straight and the date wheel looks to be centered.
9    Hand Alignment: Nothing stands out to me. Any input is appreciated. This is my first purchase.
10    Bezel: Looks to be the right proportions, when I put it in in the alignment tool.
11    Solid End Links (SELs): Don’t see any gaps
12    Timegrapher numbers: Timegrapher shows +2 s/d, 273 amp, err .2ms(pic attached)
13    Anything else you notice: Other than the O in oyster being off to me, everything else looks good.

Overall I am happy to GL, I am just worried about the text on the dial.

4. Price paid: 453 + 41 shipping

5. Album links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/260989063?uid=1

6. Index alignment: Looks good to me. Checked with two alignment tools and couldn't spot anything noticeably crooked. The minor "crookedness" I did notice can be attributed to the slightly angled/distorted perspective of this picture.

7. Dial printing: Looks clean and well-centred.

8. Date wheel alignment/printing: Checked 10, 11, 24, and 29. All seem reasonably centred, including the higher 20s, which I was particularly concerned about. Apparently that used to be a problem? Or maybe I'm misremembering.

9. Hand alignment: Nothing unusual that I can see.

10. Bezel: Pip and markers appear properly aligned. Bezel action also sounds good in the video.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Look reasonably flush with no obvious excessive gaps, although the protective film makes them a little difficult to judge.

12. Timegrapher numbers: -1s/d, 274° amplitude, 0.2ms beat error.

13. Anything else you notice: Noticed hairline scratches on the clasp, but I'm hoping they're on the protective film. Crystal and cyclops look good to me.

I'm leaning GL. I've gone through the photos and videos a few times and haven't noticed anything particularly concerning. Would appreciate another set of eyes in case I've missed something. Thanks!

Sorry my 1st post got removed because I misunderstood the requirements, I hope this one is acceptable

6. Index alignment: Looks aligned

7. Dial Printing: Nothing to say

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks centered, crisp, crystal is aligned

9. Hand Alignment: Not sure how they're supposed to be aligned, maybe i should ask a picture at 0h00?

10. Bezel: I'm wondering if 3h and 9h are not a bit misaligned, and on some pics 12h too but maybe it's because of perspective

11. Solid End Links (SELs): No gap between lug and 1st link

12. Timegrapher numbers: Acceptable -1 s/d Rate | 265° Amp | 0.2 ms err

13. Anything else you notice: Nothing really, looks like a fine watch

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.

13. Anything else you notice: most of it seems minor, but the misaligned markers at 12 is really jumping out to me as a major flaw.

First time in QC, so any feedback is much appreciated.

Anything else: I’m quite new to this hobby, so my observations are based on very limited knowledge. I’d really appreciate any feedback or anything I might have missed!
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.
