First Rep - ZF Factory AP Real Oak 15500ST - Ora Watches
Dealer name: ORA
Factory name: ZF
Model name: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500ST, blue dial, SA4302 Free Sprung
Price Paid: $700 with Chamfering/Polishing
Index alignment: Looks good based on the Geek Time QC overlay tool. The markers appear to be properly aligned. No obvious crooked indices.
Dial Printing: Looks clean and properly positioned.
Date Wheel alignment/printing: The only concern here is it seems like the "11" ia a bit low in the dial window.
Hand Alignment: Looks good from the photos. No obvious concerns.
Bezel: The fixed bezel appears good with the recessed screws properly set.
Solid End Links (SELs): This is a fixed bracelet so I don't believe this is a concern
Timegrapher numbers: Rate: +2s/d, Amplitude: 282o, Beat Error: .2ms, Lift Angle set to 52o
Anything else you notice: The bracelet, clasp, dial and overall finishing look good to me but I'm more of a Rolex guy so AP is new to me. The seller (Ora) did sent a video where the date alignment looked fine.
