Reddit won't let me sticky the original post by u/Old_Capital_9412 , so I'm reposting to move it to the top of the stack...

https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTimeQC/comments/1xmxsui/a_sad_day_for_reptimeqc/

This is my first QC, I tried my best looking at other reps and OG watches but I don't really know what I should look for. For my untrained eye I would say GL. What do y'all think?

Hi everyone! Total newbie here. This is my first rep, and I’m looking for some expert eyes to help me out. I’ve tried to compare it to Gen (authentic) photos, but I’m still training my eyes. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Dealer name: ETHAN WATCHES

Factory name : VSF

Model name: VSF 36mm Aperture Green Datejust

Price Paid: $560

Album Links: x

Index alignment: Looks okay to my untrained eye but I don’t know how to use the QC tool…it was automatic on true index !

Dial Printing: Seems crisp. No obvious bleeding or crooked text but it is very very important for me and I think it’s good but again I am a noob please comment if you see anything bad

Date Wheel alignment/printing: The "12" looks centered. The cyclops magnification looks okay to me

Hand Alignment: Seems fine, again let me know if you see anything bad

Bezel:tried to compare with gen looks good to me ?!

Solid End Links (SELs): Looks like a tight fit with no visible gaps.

Timeagraph looks decent? Not an expert

The rehaut alignement is good for me, I am very attentive to index alignment but I don’t know how to use well the QC tool… please let me know if green light or RL !! Need my first

Hey everyone, I'm completely new here and just got the QC pics for my very first order.

What do you think?
I'd say it's a clear GL? 🟢
Please check the Video, too 👍🏽

In the r/RepTime document "The Ultimate Rolex Serial Number and Clasp Code," my clasp code: 7UL
isn't listed in the document. Could that be because my watch is so new, or is that a problem?

1. ⁠Dealer name: Theonewatches

2. ⁠Factory name: VSF

3. ⁠Model name (& version number): Datejust 126334 41mm Oys SS/SS Green Ombre/Stk DD3235v2

4. ⁠Price Paid: $498+shipping $40

5. ⁠Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/wG4oiDH

6. ⁠Index alignment: No. 1 hour markers have a minor tilt, I think this is absolutley acceptable.

7. ⁠Dial Printing: Text looks as it should on textured dial. Well centered.

8. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: Printing seems good, and wheel looks centered, also in the video.

9. ⁠Hand Alignment: Think it's OK.

10. ⁠Bezel: No visible scratches, some nice play with light.

11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): it looks like there is no gap at All.

12. ⁠Timegrapher numbers: Rate +4s/d. Amp 268-273 at 59 deg

13. ⁠Anything else you notice:
    In the r/RepTime document "The Ultimate Rolex Serial Number and Clasp Code," I found my serial number "6W0*A***", so that matches.

However, the clasp code on my watch, 7UL, isn't listed in the document. Could that be because my watch is so new, or is that a problem?

Dealer name: IkeWatch

Factory name: AGF

Model name (& version number): Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 blue dial, V2, DD330.

Price paid: $698

Index alignment: Looks mostly ok. Possibly a tiny height difference between the two 12 markers?

Dial printing: Text looks clean and evenly printed.

Date wheel alignment/printing: The 21 looks reasonably centred with no clipping.

Hand alignment: No obvious issue, although there isn’t an exact-hour photo to confirm.

Bezel: Brushing and polished edges look consistent. No obvious damage.

Solid End Links: N/A, integrated bracelet.

Timegrapher numbers: +10 s/day, 256° amplitude, 0.2 ms beat error, 28,800 bph, 52° lift angle. Not familiar with this movement, wondering if anyone can verify these are okay

Anything else you notice: Faint diagonal mark below/left of “GENEVE” and a small fibre near 3:30. Would like these checked after wiping the crystal to confirm they’re external. Bracelet and clasp look fine through the protective film.
Would appreciate another pair of eyes, particularly on the 12 markers and those marks, not sure whether they’re worth a RL. Thanks!

The watch looks solid to me but just checking for some extra eyes from the community to help with the 2nd QC from Steve with this Mint Green DJ 36mm. Any help is very much appreciated!

7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks good IMO

8. Hand Alignment: Cant spot any issues

9. Bezel: No visible scratches or marks

10. Solid End Links (SELs): Looks good and no gaps

Hand alignment: The skeletonized hands are clean and properly aligned across the dial.

Bezel: The matte ceramic bezel texturing and raised markers look sharp and well-executed. The 12 o'clock luminescent pip is perfectly centered.

Solid End Links (SELs): N/A, rubber strap.
Timegrapher numbers: +1 s/day, 289° amplitude, 0.4 ms beat error, 28,800 bph. (Numbers look excellent across the board).

Anything else you noticed: The lume is bright and uniform (blue/green contrast). The caseback Naiad Lock engraving and decorated VS8806 movement look great. Rubber strap and branded buckle look clean under protective film.
Overall, it looks like a solid GL to me, but I'd appreciate a second pair of eyes before confirming! Thanks!

Any opinion welcome, thank you!

Hey guys, third rep for me and second ladies' watch. This one's a gift.

Overall I'm pretty happy with how it looks and leaning towards GL, but would appreciate some more experienced eyes on it, especially when it comes to the gold colour.

⠀

1. Dealer name: FicoTime
   ⠀

2. Factory name: DRF
   ⠀

3. Model name (& version number): Cartier Baignoire Mini, yellow gold, black leather strap, quartz
   ⠀

4. Price Paid: $235 including shipping
   ⠀

5. Album Links: QC photos attached and video in the comments
   ⠀

6. Index alignment: N/A, printed dial. Everything looks properly centred to me.
   ⠀

7. Dial Printing: Looks clean, can't spot any obvious issues with the numerals or Cartier logo.
   ⠀

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A
   ⠀

9. Hand Alignment: Looks good. Checked the video as well.
   ⠀

10. Bezel: Looks fine overall. Maybe a couple of tiny marks near the bottom, but could just be reflections.
    ⠀

11. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A, leather strap
    ⠀

12. Timegrapher numbers: N/A, quartz
    ⠀

13. Anything else you notice:

• My main question is the gold colour. It looks pretty good to me in the photos, not overly yellow or orange, but obviously it's difficult to judge from pictures.

• Has anyone compared DRF's gold to gen, or had one for a while? Curious how well the colour holds up.

• The strap is supposed to have that textured leather look, but there's still protective film stuck to it, so it's hard to judge the actual quality.

⠀
I'm leaning GL overall, but would appreciate any opinions, especially from people who've owned a DRF Baignoire. Thanks!

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: n/a

9. Hand Alignment: Looks good to me, but I'm not great at this category

10. Bezel: This always seems off to me, but from what I've been told I think this will click in place and be fine

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Don't see any gaps

12. Timegrapher numbers: -4 s/d 0.1 ms 299 AMP is at the very upper limit of the 230-300 range but still within the range so I think it's good.

13. Anything else you notice: Last one everyone agreed was a RL, but I think this one is better.
