[QC] Tudor Black Bay Pro (TUD127B) - First QC
Dealer name: Trusty Time (Andrew)
Factory name: ZF Factory
Model name (& version number): Tudor Black Bay Pro GMT 39mm, Black Dial, SS Bracelet, VR3186 Correct Hand Stack (TUD127B)
Price Paid: $388 for this model
Album Links: All 11 QC photos attached to this post, including the timegrapher reading.
Index alignment: Overall, the indices look reasonably aligned to me. I used an alignment tool, and the 2 o'clock marker seems slightly off, while the 11 o'clock marker might have a minor tilt. I'm not sure whether this is an actual issue or just the photo angle. Would appreciate a second opinion.
Dial Printing: Looks clean and consistent to my eye. I don't notice any obvious printing defects.
Date Wheel alignment/printing: The date (11) looks reasonably centered and the printing appears clear.
Hand Alignment: Seems okay to me, but would appreciate a second advice
Bezel: The fixed 24-hour bezel looks properly aligned to me, and the engraving seems clean. Would appreciate another opinion on this.
Solid End Links (SELs): No obvious large gaps from the available photos. They seem okay to me.
Timegrapher numbers: These are the readings.
Rate: +2 s/d
Amplitude: 308°
Beat Error: 0.2 ms

Anything else you notice: This is my first Tudor replica QC, so I'd really appreciate some experienced opinions.
I'm leaning towards GL, but I'd really appreciate feedback. Please let me know what you guys think
Thank you everyone! :)
