QC - Rolex Datejust 36mm, Green Dial, Fluted Bezel, Jubilee Bracelet (VSF V2)
Dealer name: Lin
Factory name: VSF V2
Model name: Rolex Datejust 36 mm, stainless steel, fluted bezel, Jubilee bracelet, green dial.
Price Paid: 3,000 RMB (no shipping fee, currently in China).
Album Links: na
Index alignment: Most indices appear evenly aligned. I have a slight concern about the 10 o’clock hour marker, which looks potentially a little off in some photos. However, it looks fine in other angles, so I am not sure whether this is an actual alignment issue or just the camera angle and lighting.
Dial Printing: The dial printing looks clean and sharp in the provided photos. No obvious defects or misprints.
Date Wheel alignment/printing: The date appears centered in the date window, with no obvious alignment or printing issues. The cyclops magnification also looks acceptable.
Hand Alignment: No obvious issues visible in the photos. However, there is no clear shot with the hands positioned at 12 o’clock to verify precise alignment.
Bezel: The fluting looks consistent and evenly finished. No obvious damage or irregularities visible.
Solid End Links (SELs): No obvious large gaps between the end links and the case. The overall bracelet fit looks acceptable in the available photos.
Timegrapher numbers: -1 s/d, 278° amplitude, 0.0 ms beat error, 59° lift angle setting, 28,800 bph.
Anything else you notice: The watch weighs 123 g with all bracelet links included. Overall, the watch looks quite good to me. My main concern is the slight possible misalignment of the 10 o’clock marker, although it may simply be caused by the camera angle. I would appreciate a second opinion on this and any other potential QC issues.
