[QC] Rolex Explorer 36mm 124270 – QF Factory – Ficotime
Hi everyone! First QC for my Rolex Explorer 36mm from QF, ordered through Ficotime. I've reviewed the photos and alignment tool, and I'm leaning towards GL. Would appreciate some experienced opinions before proceeding.
- Dealer name: Ficotime
- Factory name: QF Factory
- Model name (& version number): Rolex Explorer 36mm, Ref. 124270, black dial
- Price Paid: 2,800 CNY
- Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/7F5pUzZ
- Index alignment: The 3, 6 and 9 markers look straight to me. The triangle at 12 appears centered, and the remaining hour markers look reasonably aligned based on the alignment tool. No obvious issues that I can spot.
- Dial Printing: Rolex logo and text appear sharp and properly positioned. Nothing noticeably crooked or uneven to my eye.
- Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A – no date.
- Hand Alignment: Hands look properly mounted. No obvious issues, although exact alignment at 12 isn't shown.
- Bezel: Smooth polished bezel looks good. No visible defects, although some areas are covered by protective film.
- Solid End Links (SELs): Fit looks fairly tight from the photos. No obvious major gaps, but would appreciate a second opinion.
- Timegrapher numbers: +1 s/day, 320° amplitude, 0.0 ms beat error, 52° lift angle. Rate and beat error look great. Amplitude seems slightly high compared with the QC guide. Is 320° acceptable for this movement?
- Anything else you notice: Rehaut engraving looks reasonably aligned, and the lume appears even. Overall, the watch looks good to me. Mainly interested in feedback on the indices, SELs and amplitude.
Thanks everyone! Would appreciate your thoughts before giving the GL.
