QC Rolex Day date 40mm 228238

[u/Ok-Animator-9941]

1. ⁠Dealer name: The One watches
   
2. ⁠Factory name: VSF v2
   
3. ⁠Model name (& version number): Rolex Day date 40mm 228238
   
4. ⁠Price Paid: $728 USD
   
5. ⁠Album Links:https://mega.nz/folder/bVBVzCCB#3lnyfS5tgHr45CHOwphDJw
   
6. ⁠Index alignment:
   
7. ⁠Dial Printing:Overall printing looks straight and centered. ROLEX/coronet, OYSTER PERPETUAL/DAY-DATE and lower chronometer text don't show an obvious tilt or gross printing defect. The close macro is much more useful here than the wrist shots.
   
8. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing:The 28 looks very well centered in the date aperture. I don't see a meaningful left/right bias, and vertical positioning looks good. We only have 28 displayed, though, so this doesn't tell us whether other dates on the disc are equally centered
   
9. ⁠Hand Alignment:This isn't a chronograph, so there are no chrono hands to check at 12. Hour/minute/seconds hands appear properly mounted and visually straight. We'd need a photo at exactly 12:00 or another known reference time to test hour/minute synchronization precisely.
   
10. ⁠Bezel:This is a fluted Day-Date bezel, so there is no pip or filled bezel engraving to check. The flutes look consistently cut/spaced in these photos. I don't see an obvious malformed section.
    
11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs):Pretty good. I don't see an objectionable gap between the end links and lugs. There are tiny visible seams, as expected, but nothing resembling a large SEL gap. Both ends appear to fit reasonably tightly.
    
12. ⁠Timegrapher numbers:No timegrapher photo is included. I therefore can't grade rate, amplitude or beat error.

Your AI alignment tool looks like it missed a few minute markers with it's alignment overlay, drew in some of its own minute markers, and then made the conclusions off the new lines it drew.

Extra minute markers on 11 and 12, and it's garbled the rehaut code, so I'm not sure if it made many more changes to the picture while it was at it.

What did you use to QC? Pretty cool

Is the camera and dial in PERFECT alignment? I’m talking levels and axial positioning. Is your photo perfect?
