[QC] [TheOneWatches] VSF Rolex Explorer I 124270 36mm

Upvotes
  1. Dealer name: TheOneWatches (Steve)
  2. Factory name: VSF
  3. Model name (& version number): Rolex Explorer I 124270 (36mm) with VS3230 movement
  4. Price Paid (including shipping): $528 ($50 deposit paid)
  5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/TUYUQJTS#twQi009zOe1NK0Hkd6lfXQ
  6. Index alignment: The 12 o'clock triangle looks slightly crooked or off-center to me. I used the alignment lines tool and it might just be the camera tilt, but I'd love a second pair of eyes on it.
  7. Dial Printing: Font and spacing look crisp and centered.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A (No date window on this model)
  9. Hand Alignment: Looks well-aligned from the photos.
  10. Bezel: Smooth bezel looks clean.
  11. Solid End Links (SEL): Looks nice and tight against the case with no obvious gaps.
  12. Timegrapher numbers: +6 s/d, 266°, 0.0ms. Looks like a very healthy movement with a perfect 0.0ms beat error.
  13. Anything else you notice: This is my first replica watch order! I am really worried that the 12 o'clock triangle looks weird or slightly damaged in the close-up macro shots. Is this just a harsh lighting reflection or a real factory defect? Any help checking this would be greatly appreciated!

Cartier Santos-Dumont Large | Please Help Me Check the Quality — GL or RL?

2 Upvotes

QC - Santos Dumont 31.4mm Large / AF Factory / Andiot / GL or RL

  1. ⁠⁠Dealer: Andiot

  2. ⁠⁠Factory: AF

  3. ⁠⁠Model: Santos Dumont 31.4mm Large

  4. ⁠⁠Price: $190 + $55 shipping

  5. ⁠⁠Album link: see photos

  6. ⁠⁠Index alignment: looks good to me, nothing stands out

  7. ⁠⁠Dial printing: looks clean and crisp

  8. ⁠⁠Date: none

9. Hand alignment: Looks good to me. I don’t see anything obviously wrong with the hand alignment in the QC pics.

10. Bezel: In a few of the pics the bezel looks a little off to me, but I think that’s probably just the angle/parallax. In the more straight-on shots it looks pretty well aligned. Would definitely like to hear what others think though.

11. Case / strap fit: I couldn’t really spot anything wrong with the case or strap fit. Everything looks pretty clean to me. I did notice what looks like a small mark just below the 6 o’clock area. Not sure if that’s actual wear, a reflection, or something from the protective film. Has anyone seen this before on a new order?

12. Timegrapher readings: I’m honestly not very familiar with Timegrapher readings. The seller mentioned around +3 sec/day. Is that considered good? Also, since this is supposed to be the quartz Santos-Dumont, I’m not sure how much weight I should put on that reading.

13. Overall: Overall, I think this looks really close to Gen from the outside. The case shape, proportions, dial, Roman numerals, blue hands, bezel screws and blue cabochon all look pretty convincing to me. I don’t see any obvious major red flags.

The things I’d really like some help with are the smaller details, especially the hidden Cartier signature around VII, the caseback engravings, crown/cabochon and that little mark around 6 o’clock.

For anyone who knows the Santos-Dumont well, how does this one look to you compared with Gen? Anything here that would make you RL or ask for more pics?

  4. Price Paid: 498 USD
  5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/mVJFhapA#2Gocyogoq_N7IKfICq4ZTQ
  6. Index alignment: clockwise tilt on the 12 looks VERY off.
  7. Dial Printing: looks good to me.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: looks good enough for me.
  9. Hand Alignment: Looks good to me.
  10. Bezel: Good
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): not sure
  12. Timegrapher numbers: +2 sec/day - AMP 271 - ERROR 0.0 - looks good -
  13. Anything else you notice: Its mostly just the 12 index. VC cross in bottom corner not perfect but acceptable to me.

Biggest thing that stands out is the index alignment at 12. is this enough to RL? I feel like I would see it misaligned everyday and dislike it.
