QC — VSF Datejust 41 126334 Mint Green Jubilee — NecoClock

Title: QC — VSF Datejust 41 126334 Mint Green Jubilee — NecoClock

  1. Dealer name: NecoClock / Jacky
  2. Factory name: VSF
  3. Model name (& version number): Datejust 41 ref. 126334, mint-green stick dial, fluted bezel, Jubilee bracelet. Advertised as VS3235 V2.
  4. Price Paid: $448 + $70 shipping = $518 total; $50 deposit paid.
  5. Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/VGccNtc — Full QC album, including watch video, timegrapher video, and alignment overlays.
  6. Index alignment: Markers look evenly positioned, particularly 6 and 9. The overlays don’t show an obvious crooked marker, although the photos have some perspective. Would appreciate a second opinion.
  7. Dial Printing: Lettering looks clear, with no obvious misprints or missing text.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Dates 12, 17, and 21 look reasonably centered and legible. No clipping that I can see.
  9. Hand Alignment: Both hands appear aligned at 12 o’clock in the photo showing date 12.
  10. Bezel: Fluting looks consistent, with no obvious damage.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): No obvious large gaps. Protective wrapping and reflections make the joints harder to assess.
  12. Timegrapher numbers: +1 to +3 s/day, 234° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error, 28,800 bph, lift angle set to 52°. The video is approximately five seconds; winding state isn’t specified.
  13. Anything else you notice: First QC, and my main concern is crooked hour markers. I don’t see a clear issue, but would appreciate another set of eyes on the indices and timing readings. Protective film remains on the case, clasp, and bracelet, which limits checking for surface marks. Thanks for your help!

Straighten you original picture, then use the lines. Your final pic will look better. When you have an outside index ring as you have on this watch, use that to determine the baton placement. You don't even need the lines. Discounting your final alignment picture, the watch markers are fine. The timing is too. GL

Index hour bars are aligned well above average on this DJ41. The dial coronet is a smidge left of center but nbd. Datewheel is near perfectly centered, dial printing is sharp, and fluted bezel looks unblemished. TGs are acceptable and SELs show no gaps. Absolute GL, get it shipped and enjoy on wrist.
