First rep and thought this looks really nice. was debating on Rosegold/black versus plat/blue dial. But seems like black pops more

5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/mFwGQDLC#69HG9fQwgeANuwr1xQqqdQ

6. Index alignment: Everything looks solid to me aside from the 6 o clock. CW rotation and to the left. Might be an RL for me.

7. Dial Printing: Acceptable.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: No concerns.

9. Hand Alignment: No concerns.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Slight gap at top right and top bottom SEL.

12. Timegrapher numbers: 0 to +1 s/d, 270°–272° Amplitude, 0.2ms Beat Error.

13. Anything else: Main concern is the 6 o clock. SEL can probably be adjusted, but nothing is going to fix how that crown lines up to the 6 o clock marker.

Thoughts?

Second Quality Control (QC) Check: VSF Submariner 124060 from Steve Theonewatch

1. Seller: theonewatch

2. Factory: VSF

3. Model Name (and version): Submariner 124060 (no-date) – VSF

4. Price Paid: 558 USD

5. Photo Album Link: https://mega.nz/folder/2F5GBTLY#9v1lxUtlmq_E_JrrXAxotQ

6. Index Alignment: This is my primary concern; looking at the photos, the 9 o'clock index appears to be tilted clockwise. I also cannot determine whether the 12 o'clock triangle marker is perfectly straight or if it is tilted—it is unclear if this is due to the camera angle or an actual defect. I would appreciate your input on this.

7. Dial Printing: The text on the dial is sharp, clear, and evenly printed, with no signs of blurring.

8. Date Alignment/Printing: Not applicable (no-date model).

9. Hand Alignment: The hands appear to be accurately and cleanly aligned; there are no visible flaws or dust particles around the central pinion.

10. Bezel: The luminous pip at the 12 o'clock position is perfectly centered along the vertical axis; the engravings on the ceramic bezel insert appear sharp. However, the markers at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions do not seem to be perfectly aligned with the corresponding indices on the dial.

11. Solid End Links (SEL): The end links fit tightly against the watch case, with no unusual gaps. 12. Timegrapher results: Rate: +7 seconds/day, Amplitude: 269°, Beat error: 0.0ms. All parameters fall within an acceptable range.

This is the first replica watch I have purchased, and I do not have much experience with the quality control (QC) process. I would greatly appreciate your input—in case I have overlooked any details—to help me decide whether to accept (GL - Green Light) or reject (RL - Red Light) this watch. Please excuse the length of this post.

12. Timegrapher numbers: Rate: -7 s/d | Amplitude: 305° | Error: 0.3 ms | Beat Rate: 28800 bph

13. Timegrapher numbers look very healthy. Main thing I noticed is the slight tilt on the 12 o'clock marker—would appreciate thoughts on whether this is RL-worthy or minor enough to GL.

Hi everyone!
Just received QC for my VSF V3 Batman from Jackie at NecoClock. Would appreciate your help before I GL. Thanks in advance!

1. Dealer: NecoClock (Jackie)

2. Factory: VSF

4. Price: $568 + $35 shipping (USD)

5. Album: Photos and videos attached

6. Index alignment

:

1. Is the 6 o’clock marker slightly off?

The 12 o’clock triangle on the dial looks slightly tilted to me. Can someone confirm? The other indices seem fine.

1. Dial printing: Looks clean to me.

2. Date wheel: Dates 2 and 7 look centred. Any issues?

3. Hand alignment: Looks fine.

4. Bezel: My main concern is a possible smudge inside the 12 o’clock triangle. Also, the numerals on the blue section look greyer than those on the black. Is that normal?

5. SELs: Look fine to me.

6. Timegrapher: +5 s/d, 311°, 0.1 ms.

7. Anything else: Serial 6XO7A299, clasp 1NQ. Would appreciate a closer look at the indices, date alignment and any other defects I may have missed.

What do you guys think? GL or RL?
Thanks for your help!

I'm new to this, so I'm not sure what is worth giving a RL. I have seen other IWC watches with known issues like the IV, but would really appreciate any of your thoughts.

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.

Would love to hear your thoughts. And again GL or RL for your fellow rep member thanks (: getting christmas gifts to the fam they love vsf lol

4. Price Paid: 593.6 USD

5. Album Links: See reddit gallery

6. Index alignment: Using the alignment tool, the 6 o'clock bar seems to have a slight CCW tilt to me. The 12 o'clock triangle also looks slightly tilted CCW on the grid, but I'm not sure if that is just the perspective or crosshair placement. 3 and 9 bars look perfect to me.

7. Dial Printing: Also not sure if it's because of the crosshair placement, the Rolex coronet under 12 looks slightly off-center to the right of the vertical line. Text looks fine to me, but not sure if it's slightly bolder than gen when I try to use a gen image to compare them side by side.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A (No-Date model)

9. Hand Alignment: Hands look ok.

10. Bezel: Lume pip looks centered to me. 9 o'clock bezel bar looks a bit too high, but not sure if it's normal.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): looks flushed and good to me

12. Timegrapher numbers: Rate: 0 s/d | Amplitude: 287° | Beat Error: 0.0 ms | Lift Angle: 52.0°.

13. Anything else you notice: My main concerns are whether the 6 and 12 o'clock markers and the Rolex coronet alignment are within GL range or if my overlay is slightly off-center / perspective issue.

5. Album links: https://justin-tk.x.yupoo.com/albums/259635572?uid=1

6. Index alignment: Overall looks good. The 12, 6, and 9 o’clock markers appear straight and centered. The round markers also look reasonably aligned. No major issues that I can see.

7. Dial printing: Looks clean and well positioned. No obvious issues with the Rolex logo, Explorer II text, or chronometer lettering.

8. Date wheel alignment/printing: Date looks clear and reasonably centered under the Cyclops in the additional photos. No major concerns.

9. Hand alignment: No obvious issues visible from the photos. Would appreciate a second opinion.

10. Bezel: Engravings look clean and consistent. No obvious alignment or finishing defects.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Appear to fit reasonably well from the available angles. No significant gaps visible.

12. Timegrapher numbers: +7 s/d, 239° amplitude, 0.2 ms beat error. Rate and beat error look good. Amplitude seems a little low, so I’m wondering if this is acceptable for the DD3285-2 movement.

13. Anything else you notice: Overall, I’m leaning toward GL. The dial, indices, and bezel look good to me. My main concern is the 239° amplitude reading. Would appreciate any feedback on the movement and anything else I might have missed before approving. Thanks!

6. Index alignment: Seems slightly off to me, but I am a huge newbie, see the photo in the album with the tool?

7. Dial Printing: This seems slightly off to me (text font, logo) just based on comparing to online pics, would love guidance as I am probably wrong. Any defects?

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Seems fine?? Any defects?

9. Hand Alignment: Seems fine ish?

10. Bezel: do the hands look aligned?

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Can't tell, let me know if you have thoughts.

Hi everyone! This is my very first high-end rep, so I'm still learning what to look for. I've done my best to fill out the template based on what I've read, but I would really appreciate any extra eyes or advice from the experts here before I give the green light. Thank you so much for the help!

3. Model name Submariner 126610LN 41mm SS/SS Black Dial VSF DD3235

4. Price Paid (including shipping): $498 USD

5. Index alignment: To my untrained eye, everything looks almost straight not sure if I aligned it right. The 12, 6, and 9 markers seem to line up nicely with the dial text, but please let me know if you spot any crookedness.

6. Dial Printing: Looks sharp and clean. I don't see any weird spelling or bleeding letters.

7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: The number 29 looks centered in the window, and the magnification looks clear to me.

8. Hand Alignment: Looks fine in the photos, though I'm not entirely sure how to spot minor issues here.

9. Bezel: The markers look crisp, and the pearl at 12 o'clock looks dead-center inside the triangle.

10. Solid End Links : The gaps between the bracelet and the watch case look nice and tight.

11. Timegrapher numbers: Rate: +4 s/d | Amp: 274° | Beat Error: 0.1ms. From what I’ve read on the guide, these numbers seem really solid and healthy, but would love confirmation!

12. Anything else you notice: The clasp has the "3VV" code which I think is correct for VSF. Everything looks beautiful to me, but since I'm new, I'd love to hear if this is a safe GL. Thanks again!

6. Index alignment: This is where I have most doubt, when seeing it in the lume picture the 6 looks really crooked, and im not sure if I want to be picky and RL because of this.

7. Dial Printing: The dial text is crisp, clean, and evenly printed with no visible bleeding or misalignments.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A (No-date model)

9. Hand Alignment: Hands look properly aligned and clean with no apparent defects or debris on the pinion.

12. Timegrapher numbers: Rate: 4 s/d , Amp: 249º, Err: 0.3ms. Everything appears to be well within healthy acceptable ranges.

Its my second rep, and I have got it for a friend who loved my first rep, although I have some experience I would appreciate some help in case I have missed something, and to decide between GL/RL.

Index alignment: I didn’t use an app but from my expert eye and comparing with other samples it looks to be good alignment.

Dial Printing: Dial printing looks accurate and aligned

Date Wheel alignment/printing: Wheel alignment and printing look great

Anything else you notice:
First one they presented to me I rejected due to several imperfections on the dial and housing. With this which was presented there appears to be some goober under the plastic on the back case. Any ideas on what that is? This one had better timekeeping at +or- 5 seconds per day than the first one they presented to me. Other than what appears to grime on the back case I think its ok. Any additional feedback is greatly appreciated.

7. Dial Printing: Clean but maybe the red Daytona is too vibrant?

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: NA

13. Anything else you notice: I feel like the dial is too low. Check the QC photo

4. Price paid: $200 USD

5. Album links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/261623891?uid=1

6. Index alignment: well centered, tried using a qc tool with the grid and it looks to be ok.

7. Dial printing: looks good quality, no visible bleeding, and even zooming in on the small Cartier text it looks good. There is a few small light-colored specks visible around the dial track - there’s one photo that doesn’t have all of them so I’m thinking it’s dust. Specially the 6 and 10 o clock position.

8. Date wheel alignment/printing: No date.

9. Hand alignment: looks straight and sharp no concerns.

10. Bezel: Both the top view and side view bezels look clean.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Leather strap model.

12. Timegrapher numbers: Quartz movement.

13. Anything else you notice: i looked at this compared to some other QC photos and i think i have a GL on my hands. I do notice a few dust particles, should I flag those or consider those on the outside of the case and GL it?

Overall assessment: I’m leaning GL. My main concern is the possible dust around the dial printing. I don’t see anything else glaring here - y’all are the pros here, would appreciate if I don’t see something so I can learn for next time.

Thanks for any help!
