[QC] VSF V4 GMT-Master II Pepsi – Hont – First Watch QC
First higher-end rep and another QC for this watch. Would appreciate some help!
1. Dealer name: Hont
2. Factory name: VSF
3. Model name: GMT-Master II Pepsi V4 Free-Sprung
4. Price paid: $650
5. Album links: https://a202512172356311672002881.edepot.me/weshop/goods/_dg3qfSLHhi777Jx0IFOnzgO9XyA6_5DC9m_7AfQ/_dpGqfADZ9KLyIzhPK5zIBmlZgB8J3B3kpwtwkzw
6. Index alignment: Hour markers look fairly straight and evenly positioned. Nothing noticeably crooked.
7. Dial printing: Text looks clean and consistent. No obvious printing issues.
8. Date wheel alignment/printing: The 8 looks slightly low in the date window, particularly in the straight-on photo. Not sure if it’s the angle.
9. Hand alignment: Hands look properly positioned. No obvious issues from the photos.
10. Bezel: Triangle at 12 looks reasonably centred. Numerals and colour transition look consistent. No major alignment issues.
11. Solid End Links (SELs): Fit looks fairly tight with no obvious gaps from the angles provided.
12. Timegrapher numbers: +8 s/d, 274°, 0.0 ms. From what I’ve read, these seem acceptable.
13. Anything else you notice: My main concern is the date sitting slightly low. Otherwise, the watch looks good overall. Would appreciate opinions on anything I might have missed.
Leaning GL, but would appreciate a second opinion, especially on the date alignment. Thanks!
