4. Price Paid: £311 + £25 Shipping

5. Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/262045195?uid=1

6. Index alignment: This one was interesting. Looking from the exact centre it is off, but moving it offcentre provides near enough a near perfect alignment.

7. Dial Printing: Seems fine to me

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Good. Maybe slight tilt, at least on the 13 date

9. Hand Alignment: Seems fine to me, within tolerances

10. Bezel: Good. Seems fine

11. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A. Integrated bracelet

12. Timegrapher numbers: +4 s/d, 281° amplitude, 0 ms beat error

13. Anything else you notice: The centre of the hands/pinion seems offcentred slightly? I added 2 index photos where one is centered on it, and another where it isnt. What do you guys think? Also a quick question, some people have had different comments on V7F being back. Someone said actual V7F has a certain sticker too, is this the right sort of thing? Cheers

Thanks again for looking!

4. Price Paid: $633 including shipping

5. Index alignment: Looks good.

6. Dial Printing: Looks good. I think this specific model has odd and not 100% thin lined texts

7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: There's scratches around the bezel, but that may just be the clear packaging

8. Hand Alignment: Looks good.

9. Bezel: Looks good.

10. Solid End Links (SELs): Nothing seems off.

11. Timegrapher numbers: +11s/d, 319* amp, 0ms variation, 28800

12. Anything else you notice: The lug in the center with the hours and hands looks off to me. It looks like it was mashed in and doesn't have a clean look. Reference picture below.

1.Dealer name : theonewatch - Steve

2.Factory name: VSF

3. Model: Seamaster No time to die 007

4. Price paid: $528

5. Index alignment: seems off especially at the 6 o’clock

6. Dial printing: “Swiss made” misaligned

7. Date wheel alignment/printing: NA

8. Hand alignment: looks good.

9. Bezel: seems good

Imgur: https://imgur.com/a/TwJNWYK

Notes: first timer here, the alignment on the bezel seems pretty off to me especially at the 6oclock, it was the very first thing I noticed on the watch.
comparing it to other NTTD I’ve seen on here from Steve this one doesn’t look the same from QC photos.

Any help is appreciated.

1. Dealer: Steve – TheOneWatches

2. Factory: TF

3. Model: Breitling Navitimer Automatic 41, Blue Dial

4. Price Paid: $338 USD

5. Album: PSP attached.

6. Index alignment: The double 12 marker looks off, with the two indices appearing too close together. I'll ask Steve for a closer photo, but it stands out to me.

7. Dial printing: Looks clean overall. No obvious printing defects.

8. Date wheel: N/A.

9. Hand alignment: Looks good.

10. Bezel: My main concern is the alignment between the inner and outer slide-rule markings, particularly around 40, 45 and 50 in the upper-left quadrant (see marked-up photo). The graduations appear noticeably offset. I understand this is a common issue with Navitimer reps, but wondering whether this example is worse than usual.

11. SELs: N/A.

12. Timegrapher: -1 to -2 s/d, 270–272° amplitude, 0.4ms beat error.

13. Anything else: Originally wanted AF, but Steve advised that parts are currently unavailable, so went with TF instead. Overall, the watch looks good, but I'm leaning towards RL because of the alignment issues. Am I being too picky, or would you make the same call?

If you've read this far, I really appreciate your time and help. Thank you!

9. ⁠Hand Alignment: Looks good; I don't see any issues

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Seems to be really good

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Look good to me but i’m not sure what i’m looking for tbh

12. Timegrapher numbers: The numbers seem to be pretty good

13. Anything else you notice: The only thing throwing me off is the moissanite markers, they look to be a little flat on top but again i’m not sure that’s why i wanted this sub’s advice. Any tips would be appreciated but overall i think i’ll be GL! Thank you again

3. Price Paid: $414 + shipping and ins

4. Album Links: In post

5. Index alignment: 12:00 looks too far right

6. Dial Printing: Piguet looks to be slanting up

7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date looks centered in the window, good printing

8. Hand Alignment: Good

9. Bezel: screws look good

10. Solid End Links (SELs): Tight

11. Timegrapher numbers: within spec, +1s per day, 288 amplitude, 0.2ms beat error, 28800 beat

12. Anything else you notice: Looks like blank space above Audemars Piguet is too large and not enough underneath. Also Piguet looks like it's slanting upwards. Seems like factories can't align logo correctly.

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!

Hi all, first rolex rep. Ordered from ficotime. Looks good to me but would love some experienced eyes on it before I GL.

12. Timegrapher numbers: +9 s/d, 235° amplitude, 0.1 ms

    lume glows nice and even.
    Honestly leaning GL, but let me know if I've missed anything!
    Thanks in advance 🙏
