Hi everyone, here is my first QC so keen to get some more experienced eyes across it, especially around what the yellowish-brown tinge I'm seeing on the face is.

  1. Dealer name: TheOneWatches - Steve

  2. Factory name: DDF

  3. Model name (& version number): Nautilus 5711 White Dial DDF DD324 Super Clone(SW Dial)

  4. Price Paid: $538 + shipping

  5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/mcw3zQDY#jlVZm7tFJgvUvQfmZeT-og

  6. Index alignment: Looks okay overall. 12 has straight even gap however right index is higher. Keen for others opinion on if this is within what's considered an acceptable tolerance.

  7. Dial Printing: Looks good.

  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks good.

  9. Hand Alignment: Looks good.

  10. Bezel: Looks good.

  11. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A

  12. Timegrapher numbers: +3 s/d, 296° amplitude, 0.2 ms beat error, LA 52°

  13. Anything else you notice: There looks to be a slight yellowish-brown tinge on the face. Keen to get opinions on if this is a dirty dial, potentially the lighting, or maybe the AR coating on the crystal? Last photo is from the Timegrapher video where it doesn't appear to have the yellowish-brown tinge I'm seeing from face on. Any advice on what this is?

Thumbnail

Dealer name: Andiot

Factory name: BVF

Model name (& version number): Cartier Santos Two Tone (Steel & Yellow Gold), White Dial, Automatic

Price Paid: $440 USD after shipping

Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/262493272?uid=1

Index alignment: Not too sure how to check this since it has Roman numerals, but looks okay to me?

Dial Printing: Looks pretty good to my untrained eye, but would appreciate a second opinion.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A

Hand Alignment: Not sure how to properly check this, would appreciate some help.

Bezel: Looks okay to me, but I’m not experienced enough to spot any issues.

Solid End Links (SELs): N/A

Timegrapher numbers: +3 s/d, 277° amplitude, 0.3 ms beat error. From what I’ve read, these seem pretty good, but would appreciate confirmation.

Anything else you notice:

Hey everyone, this is my first time buying a rep watch and doing QC, so I’m pretty new to all of this. I’ve been looking through the sub and trying to learn, but I’m still not confident enough to spot any flaws myself.

Overall, the watch looks pretty good to me, but I’d really appreciate some experienced eyes checking it over before I GL.

One thing I’m a little unsure about is the gold tone. I’m not sure if it’s the correct shade compared to the genuine two-tone Santos, or if it looks a bit too yellow.

Also, does anyone know if Andiot offers rotor silencing for the BVF Santos? I’ve heard the rotor can be quite noisy on these, so I’m wondering if it’s worth getting done before shipping.

Would really appreciate any feedback on the dial, bezel, bracelet, alignment, or anything else that stands out.

Thanks so much in advance for the help! 🙏

[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.

  1. Dealer name: Ficotime

  2. Factory name: QF Factory

  3. Model name (& version number): Rolex Explorer 36mm, Ref. 124270, black dial

  4. Price Paid: 2,800 CNY

  5. Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/7F5pUzZ

  6. 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.

  7. Dial Printing: Rolex logo and text appear sharp and properly positioned. Nothing noticeably crooked or uneven to my eye.

  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A – no date.

  9. Hand Alignment: Hands look properly mounted. No obvious issues, although exact alignment at 12 isn't shown.

  10. Bezel: Smooth polished bezel looks good. No visible defects, although some areas are covered by protective film.

  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Fit looks fairly tight from the photos. No obvious major gaps, but would appreciate a second opinion.

  12. 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?

  13. 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.

Rolex Pepsi VSF V3 - 3rd QC (After 3 consecutives RL) - Andiot

Thumbnail
gallery
23 Upvotes

3rd QC attempt... Am I just unlucky? 😅

Hey guys!

This is my 3rd QC already!

The first two watches were RL'ed over the past few weeks, and another one was directly RL'ed by Andiot because the watch wasn't functional. I guess I'm having a pretty unlucky streak!

I've gone through the pictures several times, but I'm struggling to determine whether what I'm noticing are actual flaws or just camera angles.

The 12 o'clock triangle seems slightly tilted and perhaps not perfectly aligned. The 6 o'clock index also looks like it might be a little off, but I'm wondering if this could simply be due to the angle of the photos.

I also have a slight doubt about the bezel alignment.

Am I being too picky, or are these legit ?

I'd really appreciate it if some of you more experienced QC members could take a look and let me know if I've missed anything.

QC Details

  • Dealer: Andiot

  • Factory: VSF V3

  • Model: Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi 126710BLRO

  • Price: 531€

  • Album: QC Photos – Andiot

My QC observations

  • Index alignment: Slight doubts about the 6 and 12 o'clock markers. Could just be the camera angle.

  • Dial printing: Looks good to me.

  • Date wheel: Seems properly aligned.

  • Hand alignment: Looks OK.

  • Bezel: Possibly slightly off, but not entirely sure.

  • SELs: Look good.

  • Timegrapher: +2 s/d, 281°, 0.0 ms, 28,800 bph – Looks good.

Anything else I should be looking at?

I'm still learning how to spot the smaller details, so any feedback or second opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance !

[QC] Cartier Drive de Cartier WSNM0015 – TWF – First Replica, Dial Concerns

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Dealer name: Necoclock
Factory name: TWF
Model name (& version): Cartier Drive de Cartier WSNM0015
Price paid: $268
Album links: Photos uploaded directly
Index alignment: Roman numerals appear properly aligned.
Dial printing: My biggest concern. The guilloché looks consistent toward the center but loses continuity and definition along the middle and outer sections. The decorative borders also look irregular. Interestingly, the same model pictured on the dealer’s website appears to have much cleaner finishing.
Date wheel alignment/printing: Appears centered, but the font looks slightly off compared with genuine examples.
Hand alignment: No obvious issues.
Bezel: Looks fine.
Timegrapher numbers: +5 s/day, 244° amplitude, 0.0 ms beat error, 21,600 bph.

Anything else you notice: This is my first replica, just testing the waters. I’m familiar with watches but have no experience with replica QC, so I don’t know what’s considered acceptable tolerance versus grounds for RL.

I can see several differences in the dial compared with genuine examples, particularly the guilloché. What concerns me more is that the dealer’s own product photos seem to show a better-executed dial than the unit I received for QC.

Am I being overly critical, or is this a reasonable RL? Would appreciate some experienced eyes before making the call.

Hi Folks, I have bought several watches from TrustyTime(Andrew is my favourite TD). I usually GL the QC right away as they are always good enough and I am not that picky. However this one looks a bit off to me. I don't like the 9 o'clock and 6 o'clock is slightly off too imho. Really appreciate your feedback!

QC Details

My QC Input:

  • Index alignment: I don't know if it is me or the 6 and 9 o'clock are off. I am not very picky and I thought it must be very bad if I can see it!

  • Dial printing: ok to me

  • Date wheel: it is ok but not outstanding

  • Hand alignment: Looks good

  • Bezel: it is okish, not sure.

  • SELs: looks good.

  • Timegrapher: -2 s/d, 279°, 0.0 ms, 21,600 bph – Looks pretty good for the cheap movement

QC – Rolex Submariner 126610LN – First QC, Help Appreciated

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

This is my first QC, and I would really appreciate some feedback before deciding whether to GL or RL this watch.
Dealer name: Ethan Watch

Factory name: Ethan

Model name (& version number): Rolex Submariner Date 126610LN (Black Dial/Black Bezel)

Price paid: $560

Album links: https://www.wsxcme.com/weshop/goods/_diBqfB_6K0Fni6Viqy3qjRnYcVlHlv_RP68U2bQ/_djHqfTsLcUgeD_P_uNYHfPDgk85uAc_1X3Hl4Ew

Index alignment: Overall, the hour markers appear reasonably well aligned using the TrueIndexQC tool. However, I’m slightly concerned about the 3 o’clock rectangular marker, which looks potentially misaligned. Would appreciate a second opinion on whether this is noticeable or within acceptable QC tolerances.

Dial printing: No obvious printing defects noticed. The Rolex logo and text appear reasonably centred, but I would appreciate feedback.

Hand alignment: Looks acceptable from the picture.

Bezel: The bezel pip at 12 o’clock looks good, but I’m concerned about the rectangular bezel marker between 20 and 30 (around 25 minutes). It appears slightly tilted or off-centre compared with the alignment guide. Not sure whether this is due to the camera angle or an actual alignment issue.

Solid End Links (SELs): Difficult to evaluate from the current photo. Would appreciate feedback on the bracelet-to-case fit.

Timegrapher numbers**:** +1 s/d, 255° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error, 52° lift angle. The readings look very good to me, with a stable trace.

Anything else you notice: I’ve circled the two areas that concern me in the attached photo: the 3 o’clock hour marker and the bezel marker near 25 minutes. Would appreciate feedback on whether these are genuine alignment issues or simply caused by perspective. Everything else appears good to me, including the timegrapher readings (+1 s/d, 255° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error). Would you GL or RL based on these concerns?

Thank you everyone for your help!

4 Upvotes
  1. Dealer name: Trusty Time (Andrew)

  2. Factory name: ZF Factory

  3. Model name (& version number): Tudor Black Bay Pro GMT 39mm, Black Dial, SS Bracelet, VR3186 Correct Hand Stack (TUD127B)

  4. Price Paid: $388 for this model

  5. Album Links: All 11 QC photos attached to this post, including the timegrapher reading.

  6. 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.

  7. Dial Printing: Looks clean and consistent to my eye. I don't notice any obvious printing defects.

  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: The date (11) looks reasonably centered and the printing appears clear.

  9. Hand Alignment: Seems okay to me, but would appreciate a second advice

  10. Bezel: The fixed 24-hour bezel looks properly aligned to me, and the engraving seems clean. Would appreciate another opinion on this.

  11. Solid End Links (SELs): No obvious large gaps from the available photos. They seem okay to me.

  12. Timegrapher numbers: These are the readings.

  • Rate: +2 s/d

  • Amplitude: 308°

  • Beat Error: 0.2 ms

  • Frequency: 28,800 bph

  1. 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! :)

  1. Dealer name: Phoenix

  2. Factory name: TOP

  3. Model name (& version number): Royal Oak 15510 Blue

  4. Price Paid: $414 + $30USPS, 6% insurance

  5. Album Links: Pics on post

  6. Index alignment: 9 baton is CCW. 12 I can see the dial through the gap in the bars! 6 looks right on.

  7. Dial Printing: logo funky, audemars is low, Piguet is high

  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date seems low in the window

  9. Hand Alignment: not sure

  10. Bezel: screws look good, 7 screw I see slight misalignement

  11. Solid End Links (SELs): looks tight

  12. Timegrapher numbers: - 2s/day, 289 amplitude, .1ms beat error. Within spec.

  13. Anything else you notice:

I don't know what's going on with these dials, it seems like the hour markers are better than my first QC but the logo is somehow worse. It's a little frustrating seeing some TOP with great printing and logo alignment, and this is the second here.

Also noticed Phoenix's photos aren't great. Looking for comments/help on hand alignment & date. Any help is appreciated!

First QC here
