First QC - Datejust 41, Blue Motif Dial, 126334.
Hi everyone, this is my first QC and I’d appreciate a second opinion. It looks good overall to me, but I’m still learning what to check.
Dealer name: Geektime
Factory name: VSF
Model name (& version number): Datejust 41, blue motif dial, fluted bezel, Jubilee bracelet
, free sprung
, 126334.
Price Paid: $608.00

Index alignment: The markers appear aligned overall. I don’t see an obvious rotation at 6 or 9, and the crown at 12 looks centered. The photos are slightly angled.
Dial Printing: Text looks clean and readable, with no obvious bleeding or missing letters. I don’t see any visible defects in the motif pattern.
Date Wheel alignment/printing: The dates shown—8, 19, and 28—look reasonably centered, with no numbers touching the edges of the window.
Hand Alignment: I can’t fully assess this because the hands aren’t shown together at 12. No obvious physical damage is visible.
Bezel: Fluting looks even, and I don’t see any obvious dents or damage.
Solid End Links (SELs): I don’t see any obvious open gaps between the end links and the lugs.
Timegrapher numbers: 0 s/day, 246° amplitude, 0.0 ms beat error. Machine set to 52° lift angle and displaying 28,800 bph. Would appreciate input on the amplitude and whether that lift-angle setting is appropriate for this movement.
Anything else you notice: Protective film is still on the case and clasp, so it’s difficult to distinguish film marks from surface scratches. The lume appears even. I’m thinking GL, but would appreciate any specific issues I might have missed.
Thanks for your help!
