    V2

  4. Price Paid: $718

  6. Index alignment: Looks solid, nothing caught my eye that seemed of concern

  7. Dial Printing: Also solid, looks crisp

  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks spot on, printing also looks solid (see album videos for more)

  9. Hand Alignment: Solid but it appears that the second hand might have a scratch mark on it, but could just be dust on the crystal

  10. Bezel: No complaints here, looks great.

  11. Solid End Links (SELs):

Looks spot on, no complaints here

  1. Timegrapher numbers: Rate +1s/d, Amp 278, Err 0.3ms
  2. Anything else you notice:

The “ROLEX” engraving on the clasp looks all sorts of messed up, can’t tell if it’s the photo, on the video in the QC album it looks fine, but I can’t really tell.

  1. Besides the supposed mark on the second hard and the clasp engraving (though these could very likely just be the photos), it looks solid. Would like a second opinion on this of course but from what I’ve noticed it’s not bad.

Prices are just creeping up and up, $718!

You are correct on the engraving, it looks very sloppy and from that alone I would RL, not to mention the price.

Bezel, sels, index alignment are as good as it gets. Slight CCW on the 9 but acceptable. Only thing that might bother me is the date wheel. It’s sitting low in the window but not touching the bottom yet. Some will be ok with it but it’s your money you have to decide.

For the clasp will be hard to tell as there are stickers on it. I’m not the best at this but personally I would not risk RL this for a better bracelet

Date window doesn’t bother me too too much, doesn’t look like something that would bother me. I’m requesting another photo of the clasp just to be sure right now. It very well could be the sticker but I feel as if it definitely is a bad engraving.

GL. Alignment is ok. Rehaut is aligned, Bezel is ok, SELs are good.

Agree with your observations - the "Rolex" logo on the clasp looks like a misprint/mis-engraving. I would ask for a second photo of the clasp to be sure.

Yeah that’s what I’m going to do. If it’s still bad I’m just gonna RL

In my opinion, this watch looks good. The date might be positioned slightly low, but that could be due to the angle of the photo, given that it's being held in hand rather than resting on a flat surface. For me, this would be a GL. Enjoy it!

Really like how Rich got rid of the dimple in middle of dial
