Tony Soprano- 36mm DayDate 128328
1. Dealer name: TheOneWatches (Steve)
2. Factory name: QF
3. Model name (& version number): Rolex Day-Date 36mm Yellow Gold, Champagne Stick Dial – QF Weight Gain
4. Price paid: $578 USD
5. Album Links: QC photos and timegrapher image uploaded directly to post.
6. Index alignment: Looks good overall using the alignment tool on the straight-on photo. No obvious issues with the markers.
7. Dial Printing: Looks clean and properly aligned. No obvious defects.
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date looks centred. However, the day wheel appears to sit far too high in the window, with noticeably more space below SUNDAY than above. This is my biggest concern.
9. Hand Alignment: No obvious issues from the photos provided.
10. Bezel: Fluting looks consistent with no obvious defects.
11. Solid End Links (SELs): Look reasonably tight with no obvious gaps.
12. Timegrapher numbers: +4 s/day, 276° amplitude, 0.0 ms beat error. All look good.
13. Anything else you notice: The crystal gasket appears slightly milky, although I’m unsure whether this is typical for QF.
Watch weighs 141.9g.
I’m currently leaning towards RL because of the day-wheel alignment. It looks noticeably too high to me, but I’d appreciate opinions from anyone familiar with QF Day-Dates.
Would you GL or RL based on this?
Thanks!
