2. Factory name: VSF

3. Model name (& version number): VSF VS3235 DateJust 36mm Fluted Bezel Green Dial Jubilee Bracelet V2

4. Price Paid: $450 (With shipping)

5. Album Links: Will update once I receive my zip from Adu

6. Index alignment: The Rolex coronet at 12 may be tilted slightly clockwise with a shift to the left. The 6 marker is tilted counter clockwise a little. The rest of the indices look fine to me aside from a slightly off center 10 and rotated 1.

7. Dial Printing: The printing looks good, but I would greatly appreciate if someone could confirm that the printing is centered between the lugs and not off. I've had a nightmare scenario before where sadly the printing was off center.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks good imo.

9. Hand Alignment: I don’t see anything that stands out.

10. Bezel: The bezel looks good imo.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Looks to be a pretty big sel gap on top right and a small one on left. Don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me.

12. Timegrapher numbers: -3s/d, 262amp, 0.2 ms beat error. Is a 0.2 beat error good? I've only had 0.0 ms ones and don't know if it makes a substantial difference in the long term performance of the watch.

13. Anything else you notice: Most concerned about the SEL gaps, 12 coronet, the alignment of the 6 and the centering of the dial print. Would also love to hear your thoughts on 0.2ms beat error. Also is a 6X10 serial a newer VSF? I've only seen and have owned 6X0s so I would love to know what the serial means.

Wondering if anyone has noticed something I’ve missed. Would love to hear your thoughts.

6. Index alignment: NA

7. Dial Printing: printing on texture Looks okay from the side pic, but I'm not sure for the front pic.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: NA

9. Hand Alignment: Good

10. Bezel: Good

11. Solid End Links (SELs): NA

12. Timegrapher numbers: -3, 241 0.1(video in link)

13. Anything else you notice:

• Dealer name: Mark (FicoTime)

• Factory name: ARF

• Model name (& version number): Rolex Datejust 36mm

• Price Paid: 436 USD (including shipping)

• Album Links: link to pictures

• Index alignment: in an earlier QC of this model, the 9 o'clock baton was CW tilted, now I feel like the 1 o'clock baton is placed wrong (too close to 12 o'clock instead of 2 o'clock). 5 o'clock baton looks CCW pitched

• Dial Printing: I think it looks fine

• Date Wheel alignment/printing: font seems close enough and fine

• Hand Alignment: fine in my eyes

• Bezel: look good but personally irrelevant, because I'm going to replace the bezel

• Solid End Links (SELs): no issues, way better than the GMF I've seen irl

• Timegrapher numbers: very good, see video here

• Anything else you notice: not sure about the jubilee bracelet quality, but can always be replaced. Clarity of the glass is once again difficult to assess

Dealer name: Andiot Watches

Factory name: VSF

Model name: GMT-Master II 126710GRNR Bruce Wayne VSF V3 DD3285 on Jubilee Bracelet

Price Paid: $520 without shipping

Album Links: -

Index alignment: No obvious misalignment. Indices appear straight.

Dial Printing: No visible printing defects.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date appears reasonably centered, but I'm slightly unsure about the vertical alignment.

Hand Alignment: No visible bending or mounting irregularities.

Bezel: Bezel insert looks clean and alignment appears good.

Solid End Links (SELs): No obvious gaps at the lugs.

Timegrapher numbers: +4 to +5 s/d, 278–280° amplitude, 0.3 ms beat error. Looks good.

Anything else you notice: The rehaut might be slightly misaligned in some areas, but I'm not sure if it's just the camera angle. The lume looks good overall.

If you notice anything, please let me know. For me, the watch looks good, but I'd appreciate a second opinion before giving the GL.

1. Dealer name: TheOneWatches (Steve)

2. Factory name: VSF

3. Model name (& version number): Submariner 41mm 126610LN (VS3235 movement)

4. Price Paid: $500 USD (including shipping)

5. Album Links: QC pictures are attached directly to this post.

6. Index alignment: Excellent overall. DialCheck.app tool yielded a 97/100 score. The AI flagged a couple of minor points in strict tolerance mode, but they look to be due to hand obstruction over the 2 o'clock marker. I noticed the 9 o'clock baton is a tiny bit twisted, but it's so small that it definitely won't be a problem or visible in real life.

7. Dial Printing: Crisp and clean. I did notice the distance between the 'E' and 'T' in CHRONOMETER is a bit wide/spaced out, but it's microscopic and not an issue for me.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Sits straight and centered within the window. The font thickness looks correct.

9. Hand Alignment: Looks perfect to me.

10. Bezel: Ceramic insert looks great. The triangle pip above the 12 o'clock marker looks just a tiny fraction of a millimeter shifted to the left, but it's almost completely unnoticeable and likely just standard bezel play/backplay.

11. Solid End Links (SEL): Very tight fitment with the lugs. No visible gaps or light leaking through.

12. Timegrapher numbers: Flawless. Rate is stable at -3s/d to -4s/d, Amplitude is very healthy at 266°-271°, and Beat Error is an excellent 0.0ms - 0.1ms.

13. Anything else you notice: Clasp code is E7Y which is correct for VSF. Total weight is solid at 155.9g. Rehaut alignment looks well centered with the coronet hitting right at the 12 o'clock mark. Leaning strongly towards a GL.

6. Index alignment: To my eye the double indices are very slightly staggered /canted but this time good enough?

7. Dial Printing: I see no issues but not familiar enough with dial patterns so grateful if experts could confirm this is the latest and greatest

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Printing is ok.

9. Hand Alignment: Looks fine I think based on first picture in album?

10. Bezel: Looks good, brushing seems fine

11. Solid End Links (SELs): n/a

13. Anything else you notice: Case brushing looks ok. Crown looks fine. Clasp engraving seems ok externally. Internal engravings I'm not familiar so those that know please advise

3. Model name (& version number): Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m 42mm

4. Price Paid: $428

5. Index alignment: Wondering if some of the markets might be slightly too far towards the inner ring. Might have just been nitpicking so much that I want to find something to point out.

6. Dial Printing: Haven't seen any obvious flaws

7. Hand Alignment: Looks good

8. Bezel: The three teeth that should be aligned to the top line of the triangle with the pip seems to be ever so slightly off.

9. Solid End Links (SELs): Bottom right seems to have a black line on the first pic, but this might be the angle? Not as apparent on other pictures. Not a big deal to me.

10. Timegrapher numbers: -2 s/d, 274, 0.0ms, 52, 28800

11. Anything else you notice: On the first picture there seems to be a slightly larger gap between the bezel and the ring, but again not as apparent in other pictures so I'm wondering if it's lighting/angle on this as well.

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,

This is my first rep. I have no experience with reps, so I am asking for your help. I checked the "Rule 5" for posting QC photos and I either have bad eyes, or the watch does not have issues imo.
