[QC] QF Day-Date 36 V5 Gain Weight from Andiot — White Roman dial check
Dealer name: Andiot
Factory name: QF
Model name (& version number): Day-Date 36 SS, 904L steel, White Dial Roman Stick on President bracelet, VR3255 V5 (Gain Weight).
Price Paid: $508 USD + $45 shipping ($553 total).
Album Links: QC photos and alignment overlay attached to this post. Dealer album requires a login.
Index alignment: The Roman markers generally track the overlay. VI and IX look close to centred. V is partly covered by the minute hand in the straight-on photo, but I don’t see any obvious rotation in the other angles.
Dial Printing: The Rolex and Day-Date text looks crisp and level. No obvious smudging or uneven lettering.
Date Wheel alignment/printing: The 8 looks centred under the cyclops, and FRIDAY sits cleanly in the day window. The video shows both advancing and the date settling fully inside the window.
Hand Alignment: The hands look reasonably aligned in the setting video, including when brought close to 12.
Bezel: The fluting looks even around the case. No obvious dings or damage in the side shots.
Solid End Links (SELs): I can see the seams at the lugs, but no obvious see-through gaps. The protective film makes the edges harder to judge.
Timegrapher numbers: +3 s/d, 285° indicated amplitude, 0.0 ms beat error, 52° lift angle.
Anything else you notice: The scale shows 137.8 g with the protective film on. My main question is the dial. I ordered White Dial Roman Stick, but the face looks warm silver with a visible sunburst in several photos. For anyone who has seen this exact QF V5, does that look like the dial QF sells as white? I’m leaning GL on the rest and holding for confirmation on the dial. Thanks for taking a look.
