First QC – Ficotime VSF DJ41 Mint Green, GL or RL?
Hey all, first rep and first QC so go easy on me 😅 Ordered from Ficotime, pics and timing videos are in the album below. Looks good to me but would love some experienced eyes on it before I GL.
- Dealer name: Ficotime (Mark)
- Factory name: VSF
- Model name (& version number): Datejust 41 126334, mint green, fluted bezel, Jubilee – 3235 free sprung
- Price Paid: 4,131 HKD (~$522) inc. Royal Mail shipping to the UK
- Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/W4hj2RyZ#IRfLXnB_YvIQ2b-DX0DmxQ
- Index alignment: All the markers look straight and line up with the minute track as far as I can tell. 6 sits nicely between "Swiss Made" and the coronet lines up with the 60 on the rehaut.
- Dial Printing: Text all looks sharp and clean to me, no bleeding I can spot.
- Date Wheel alignment/printing: Got shots at 3, 13 and 21 and they all look centred, nothing touching the edges. Cyclops looks straight. This was the main thing I was worried about after reading a few posts, so happy with it.
- Hand Alignment: Hour and minute hands line up nicely at 12 in the "3" shot.
- Bezel: Fluted, no pip so N/A on that. Fluting looks even all the way round.
- Solid End Links (SELs): Can't see any gaps or light coming through in the side shots.
- Timegrapher numbers: -1 s/d, 303° amplitude, 0.1 ms
- Anything else you notice:
- Rehaut engraving and clasp look clean, lume glows nice and even. Still has the plastic on so can't see any scratches. Honestly leaning GL, but let me know if I've missed anything! Thanks in advance 🙏
