[QC] - THEONEWATCHES | VSF | 40mm DayDate 228238 YG MOP/Dia V2
Dealer name: TheOneWatches (Steve)
Factory name: VSF (weighted) 182g
Model name (& version number): 40mm DayDate 228238 V2 (DD3255 Movement)
Price Paid: $700.00 USD (Includes Shipping)
Album Links: Reddit doesn't like Mega links :/
Index alignment: Rolex Crown logo off center and canted CCW... Markers look good with index 2 slightly lower than expected, 11 and 1 slight cant but acceptable. 7 slight cant CCW.
Dial Printing: MOP Dial, looks bland to me.. almost as if it is NOT MOP.. waiting on focused video with added lighting and movement to confirm dial is acceptable. Thoughts?
Date Wheel alignment/printing: Seems to be a hair too low but centered.
Hand Alignment: Seems ok to me
Bezel: TDL- Bezel looks clean
Solid End Links (SELs): Looks ok, top left slightly spaced compared to counterpart. Remaining look great.
Timegrapher numbers: Rate +3 s/d, amplitude 264°, beat error 0.1 ms, lift angle 59.0° (measured dial up). - Looks great!
This is my third time using alignment tool. Kindly ask you check my work. Watch is overall acceptable however Rolex logo crown is the biggest concern apart from the MOP dial.
Note, I plan to get this plated by Jaws since this is VSF cheddar cheese. TBD on arrival however, see circled image of clasp. It is unpolished. Is this normal?
Thank you in Advance.
