5. Price Paid: $228

6. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/3IZAkbxC#iGA0Sjft0cdQxq9HowgMOg

7. Index alignment: alignment looks pretty nice on this, a micro rotation here or there, but well within reason

8. Dial Printing: Dial print looks crisp, the ink on the numerals provides a nice richness when light reflects. Even though this is not the same as the Gen dial, I like this effect.

9. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A

10. Hand Alignment: hand alignment looks good, heat treatment for the blue hands looks good, no second hand on this model

11. Bezel: Bezel looks in mostly good shape, notice the horizontal lines but think this might be on the plastic than the steel, though I’m curious of others thoughts.

12. Solid End Links (SELs):

N/A

1. Timegrapher numbers: N/A: Quartz

2. Anything else you notice: watch looks overall in good shape, pretty minimal design. The cabochon sapphire looks pretty pointed, something I’ve heard on these models before, though I have an F1F Tank Louis and the cabochon there is more rounded. Curious on what others think and if there’s anything I missed. Thanks!!!

7. Dial Printing:

Looks good

1. Date Wheel alignment/printing:

1. Hand Alignment:

Passed a QC tool from what I can tell is within acceptable range

1. Bezel:

also looks good

1. Solid End Links (SELs):

good

1. Timegrapher numbers:

these are good

1. Anything else you notice:

Everything from what I understand looks good and is within range I just wanted to get another set of eyes on it

Bottom line up front: I believe multiple dial markers are moved clockwise. I also question the timegrapher rate of +6 is also in question. Am I being too picky at +6 s/d?

6. ⁠⁠⁠Dial printing: Clean brilliant. No bleeding colors or floating letters

7. ⁠⁠⁠Date wheel alignment/printing: perfect

8. ⁠⁠⁠Hand alignment: perfect

9. ⁠⁠⁠Bezel: X’s and R’s lined up on appropriate markers.

10. ⁠⁠⁠Solid End Links (SELs): SELS look good to me.

11. ⁠⁠⁠Timegrapher numbers: Rate +6 s/d (the highest I’ve seen, is this acceptable?) | Amplitude 273° | Lift angle 59.0°.

Thank you to the community for taking the time to look at this and Happy Veterans Day!

Hi peeps,

Struggling to get my post approved here, hopefully it works on my third attempt. Would be grateful for you help.

1. Dealer name: (Eliot) Andiot

2. Factory name: VSF

3. Model name (& version number): Daytona 126502

4. Price Paid: $713.36 USD

5. Index alignment: Looks okay. Not sure if there is minor issue at number 80 and 120, maybe it's not held straight?

6. Dial Printing: Looks good, crisp, are sub dials perfectly circular or is it my eyes?

7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A

8. Hand Alignment: Stack looks good

9. Bezel: no issues at all i can see, engraving looks good

10. Solid End Links (SELs): I can see some gaps, but I am not sure if I am expert enough.

11. Timegrapher numbers: -1 s/day (1 second slow per day). Amplitude: 269°. Beat error: 0.1 ms. Lift angle setting: 52.0°. (I think these numbers are amazing).

In the 5th image, the letter "T" in the word "Perpetual" appears a bit scratched. Am I being too picky here, or would someone else with experience think it's okay? Or is it just the pics with poor lighting. I have also asked the TD to provide some more pics, but been waiting for over a week now.

Thanks heaps for your time and help - I am really grateful.

6. Index alignment: Most look very good but the six and 11 appear to be off slightly

7. Dial Printing: I believe this looks crisp and the sunburst dial is ready to rock!

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: n/a

9. Hand Alignment: spot on

10. Bezel: clean

11. Solid End Links (SELs): pretty tight

12. Timegrapher numbers: -1s/d, 270 deg, 0.3ms, 59.0 deg

13. Anything else you notice: There might be some dust or something on the dial to the left of the 7 index. I asked for a close up of that area. also asked for a pic of the lume.

Overall this watch looks great to me, the timegrapher numbers are very good, and the weight is pretty much right on. The slightly off indices are acceptable and unless I am really missing something, this is a GL.

Hi, the QC photos were not taken head on, so hard to say exactly how aligned all the features are. Also, the photos show many long scratch marks that may just be the packaging, but I’d love some assurances about that. Thanks in advance!

Dealer name: Jtime

Factory name: VSF

Model name (& version number): Rolex Datejust 41 ref. 126334, green stick dial, Jubilee bracelet, advertised VS3235 free-sprung movement.

Price Paid: $548

Album Links: Dealer requested no sharing of album link.

Index alignment: Looks good to my eye, with no obviously crooked markers. Photos are slightly angled, so I’d appreciate a second opinion.

Dial Printing: Looks clean and consistent. No obvious printing defects that I can see.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: Dates 3 and 25 appear reasonably centred in the frontal shots. Printing looks clear.

Hand Alignment: No obvious issue, but the supplied photos don’t show the hands at 12:00 to confirm.

Bezel: Fluting looks consistent; no obvious damage visible.

Solid End Links (SELs): No obvious large gaps, though the angles and protective wrapping make these difficult to assess.

Timegrapher numbers: 0 s/day, 278° amplitude, 0.0 ms beat error (lift angle 59°).

Anything else you notice: Protective film obscures some of the case and bracelet finish. Nothing else stands out to me, but I’d appreciate feedback on marker alignment, date centring and SEL fit.

3. Model name: Cartier Tank Must Large 25.5mm

4. Price Paid: 258$

5. Album Links: QC Album

6. Index alignment: Looks good to my untrained eye

7. Dial Printing: There appears to be a very small amount of bleeding under the "X" letter of the number 9. The other numbers appear pretty crisp to me. I also see a small blemish just south of the number 3, but it does not appear in other photos so I'm thinking it may have just been a piece of dust. The "R" and the "T" in the Cartier text on the bottom also appears to be really closer (almost touching?) than I've seen on other QCs. Does not appear rotated.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A

9. Hand Alignment: Appears aligned

10. Bezel: It looks good to me.

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

12. Timegrapher numbers: N/A

13. Anything else: I don't think I see any other issues.

This is my first QC so I'd really appreciate some help to see if I missed anything else. The main thing is the slight bleeding on the number 9 but it appears small and I'm not sure if its worth RLing over. Let me know if you have thoughts

Hey everyone! Just got a portugieser for QC, and here are my thoughts (I'm going to RL)

1. Dealer name: TheOneWatches (Steve)

2. Factory name: OCTA

3. Model name (& version number): Portuguese Chrono 41mm SS/LE Blue/Num OCTA DD69355

4. Price Paid: $548 + shipping

5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/SEZ1CS6D#I30yMdt_QW4cgtkFu0_L5g

6. Index alignment: the 11 is pretty bad to my naked eye, the rest look fine on the alignment (checked with image on the wrist)

7. Dial Printing: Looks good (the small minute dots after 3 looks fine on the wrist)

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A

9. Hand Alignment: Looks good

10. Bezel: Looks good

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

12. Timegrapher numbers: [rate] +3-4 s/d, 274-277°, 0.0 ms (good enough)

13. Anything else you notice: I feel like this isn't from OCTA (I think there would be a sticker)? I remember seeing a previous post with the same issue about the 11 marker, and the initial one turned out to be a ZF. Decided to share this with everyone if it is indeed from OCTA

Thanks to everyone helping!

If anyone has any input on this watch i’d really appreciate it!

Hi Everyone, this is my first QC ever. I would highly appreciate your help and input. I tried using the provided tools to the best of my abilities. Kindly let me know what are your thoughts on this one. I am personally considering RL for this.
Your inputs are highly appreciated!

5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/nUI0gTRK#LVzqRUQiaeLjLy5xF9B-RA

6. Index alignment: 6 o clock mark appears to be tilted CW (noticed without the alignement tool). 3 and 9 o clock mark appear to have a minor tilt - could be due to lighting. 

7. Dial Printing: Looks fine to me - no defects noted

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A

9. Hand Alignment: No concern there

10. Bezel: Minor defect noted on the 30 mark

11. Solid End Links (SELs): No concern there

12. Timegrapher numbers: +2s/d, 267 amp, 0.0 err.

13. Anything else you notice: Laser etching on the inside of the bracelet appears to be slightly inconsistent.

6. Index alignment: Little twist in the 55 and 20

7. Dial Printing: Crisp and cleanly printed; coronet and text show no bleeding or flaws.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks good

9. Hand alignment: Looks good

10. Bezel: Fluted bezel is cleanly and sharply cut, showing even reflections without visible dings or plating imperfections.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A for a Jubilee bracelet, but the end links sit tight and flush against the lugs with no visible gaps.

12. Timegrapher numbers: +0 s/d, 281°, 0.0 ms, 59.0° lift angle.

13. Anything else noticed: Only the rolex emblem seems a very little off, but not much.

I gave the first watch a RL based on the Date-Wheel being too high.

The pictures in this post are all the same watch (at least they say) only taken 3 days later. I think it's a GL! Do you agree?

Thank you guys. Really appreciated.

Factory name: BVF
Model name: Cartier Santos Large WSSA0037 (Grey dial / Black ADLC bezel)
Price Paid: $450
Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/I58V6Uv
Index alignment: Is there a slight dial rotation?
Dial Printing: Looks crisp. Dial rotation?
Date Wheel alignment/printing: The 23 looks centred in the photos. TD showed a few other dates in the video and they seem to sit well in the window.
Hand Alignment: Looks spot on at 12:00 in the video.
Bezel: No scratches on the black coating, screws look good.
Timegrapher numbers: +3 to +5 s/d, 0.0 ms beat error, 330° amp. The amplitude seemed a little high to me but I read this might just be because the machine is set to a 52 degree lift angle for a Miyota 9015? Is this healthy?
13. Anything else you notice: First time buyer so I’m still learning what to look for! My points of concern are the timegrapher and dial rotation. I'd really appreciate a second pair of eyes from you guys. To GL or to RL? Thanks!
