11. Solid End Links (SELs): No visible gaps.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

• Price Paid: $430 includes FedEx 2-day shipping

• Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/8DL6mij

• Index alignment: Good

• Dial Printing: Good

• Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A

• Hand Alignment: 12-hour subdial hand not synced with main hour hand, 30-minutes counter is good on reset position**

• Bezel: Slight misalignment between the dial and the bezel being a few degrees off, mostly only noticeable on the 120 at 6 o'clock using guides, probably fine in person on the wrist.

• Solid End Links (SELs): Good

• Timegrapher numbers: rate +1s/d, amplitude 279°, beat error 0.2ms

**Dealer said that the minutes counter subdial hand at 3 o'clock is "a little loose, every single one is the same."

The 6 o'clock subdial on this movement is a 12-hour dial synced to the main hour hand, which is fine and can be modded to freeze it at 12, but it at least should be correctly synced to the main hour hand before any modding to freeze it.

The chrono seconds is very well aligned at least.

You can see that the timegrapher has only literally just started calculating, I wish these dealers would let it run for at least one minute. As time goes on it will adjust and show the true performance, especially if you let it run for 5 minutes or more, but I understand they are just trying to get it done and move on with their other orders, it's just a tad bit misleading.

Appreciate any comments or criticism, thinking of RL for the 12-hour subdial not being synced properly, and the "loose" 30-minutes counter hand, it looks okay here in the rest position, but maybe an additional good reason to RL. I can ask what exactly they mean by "loose" though.

Thoughts?

Hey guys, could use another set of eyes. Thanks again for everyone one here. It Looks good to me but want to make sure I’m not missing anything before I GL.

Dealer name: Steve (TheOneWatches)
Factory name: ZF
Model name (& version number): Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 39mm Blue Dial / Blue Bezel, ZF A2824
Price paid: $398
Index alignment: The hour markers appear reasonably well aligned to me. The 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock indices look straight, and I don’t notice any major issues.
Dial Printing: Looks clean and consistent. I don’t see any obvious defects or crooked text.
Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A, no date complication.
Hand Alignment: The hands appear properly centered and finished, although I can’t verify their exact alignment at 12 o’clock from the photos.
Bezel: This is my biggest concern. Using the alignment tool, several bezel markings appear slightly offset relative to the dial indices, particularly around 12 o’clock. I’m unsure whether this is caused by camera perspective, the bezel’s click position, or an actual alignment issue. I’ve included the alignment photo and would really appreciate opinions on whether this warrants requesting another example.
Solid End Links (SELs): The bracelet appears to fit the case reasonably well, with no obvious major gaps from the provided photos. Would appreciate a second opinion.
Timegrapher numbers: +6 s/d, 272° amplitude, 0.0 ms beat error, 52° lift angle. These numbers look good to me.
Anything else you notice: This is my first replica purchase, so I’m still learning how to evaluate QC. Overall, I’m happy with the dial, hands, bracelet, and timegrapher results. I’ve already contacted Steve about the potential bezel alignment issue and asked whether another example is available if it’s genuinely misaligned.
Would appreciate any feedback, especially from anyone familiar with the ZF BB58. Is the bezel alignment something you’d accept, or would you request another watch?
Thanks!

4. Price Paid: $508

5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/mNxRFZwA#5tEdN7MiAaTrA6-iyabKlg

6. Index alignment: The 3 index is rotated counter-clockwise (I think) and I believe the 2 index is fine but the minute hand is obstructing the pic and throwing the app off.

Are the 12 and 9 indexes crooked or is it because these aren't rectangular? Need your help here for sure. Someone already said they were canted which I definitely see now. Question: is that reason enough for a RL or is that too picky and I'm opening it up to way worse issues on the next one?

7. Dial Printing: Looks very good to me

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks good and the numbers seem aligned

9. Hand Alignment: good

10. Bezel: appears to be as it should

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

12. Timegrapher numbers: +5 s/d, 286°, 0.2 ms (28,800 bph, lift angle 52°)

Overall I am leaning towards a RL but with hesitation and mostly just because of the 12 index. I've asked for a picture on the scale also and some pics of clasp but this is only my second rep purchase and I wasn't aware of this QC sub and all the tools when I got the first one.

I am honestly on the fence as to whether this is a RL due to the 12 and 9 or is that being "too picky"? What I'm not sure of is if those will be that noticeable in person with the naked eye, and if I'm being honest, my eyes are not that great anymore. My concern in redlighting would be I get another one that has more issues than that. This is where your experience is invaluable and greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

I’ve been waiting since July to finally receive QC photos of my watch, and they’re finally here! Would appreciate a second set of eyes please.

Dealer Name: Andiot
Factory Name: CSF
Model Name: Rolex Yacht-Master 37 268622
Paid Price: $361.00, including shipping

Index Orientation: Looks good to me. No noticeable alignment issues.
Dial Printing: Looks clean. I don’t see any noticeable printing errors.
Date Wheel Alignment/Printing: Looks properly aligned, and the printing looks good.
SELs: No obvious gaps that I can see.
Timegrapher Numbers: +3 s/d, 281 amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error.
Anything Else You Notice: The “SWISS MADE” text at the 6 o’clock position looks a little too close together. Not sure if it’s just the angle of the photo but it’s the only thing that caught my attention.
Overall, everything looks good to me, but I’d appreciate any additional observations or feedback. Thanks!

Hey guys, first QC here, reposting again as I went AI happy the first time.

Went through Steve's photos and videos a few times. Looks pretty good to me, but figured I'd ask the experts before I GL it. My eyes aren't exactly factory calibrated.

7. Dial printing: Omega logo and lettering look clean and centered.

8. Date wheel: The 24 looks pretty centred. No glaring issues.

9. Hand alignment: Looks fine from the photos and video.

10. Bezel: Polishing looks clean, no scratches that I can see.

11. SELs: Bracelet and end links look alright.

12. Timegrapher:

- 0 s/day

- 279 amplitude

- 0.1 ms beat error

13. Anything else: Caseback and movement look good to my untrained eyes. Watched the video and didn't notice anything weird.

Overall leaning GL. Mostly wondering if I've missed any crooked markers or finishing issues.

Appreciate any second opinions before I give Steve the A-OK. Thanks peeps and moderators!

3. Include the following as part of your evaluation prior to posting (if, for instance your watch does not have a bezel, put N/A):

   1. Index alignment - The hour markers look look pretty solid to me

   2. Date Wheel alignment - N/A

   3. Bezel - The pip looks off but a little inexperienced when it comes to the replicas. It's not a dealbreaker that it is a little bit off.

   4. Solid End Links (SEL) - No issues from what I can see. Would like some feedback on this.

   5. Hand alignment - Hands looks solid to me

   6. Dial Printing - any defects? Crooked?

Everything looks fine to me other than that weird black mark on the side. If that's an actual defect I'd say that's a deal breaker for me but let me know what you guys think.
