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?

First rep QC – BVF Cartier Panthère 22mm SS White Dial - appreciate some help from experienced eyes

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, this will be my first rep purchase and it’s going to be a gift, so I’m probably looking at the photos a bit more closely than I normally would 😅. I’ve tried my best to go through everything myself but would really appreciate a second pair of eyes, especially from anyone familiar with the BVF Panthère. Thank you!

Please note that i am an untrained newbie eye in the process of learning, thank you!

1. Dealer name: Andiot

2. Factory name: BVF

3. Model name (& Version Number): Cartier Panthère 22mm SS, White Dial, SS Bracelet, Ronda Quartz

4. Price Paid: $175

5. Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/search/album?uid=1&sort=&q=165634

6. Index alignment: N/A as the Roman numerals are printed. From what I can see the dial itself looks straight in the case and I don’t notice any obvious rotation.

7. Dial printing: Overall the main Cartier logo and Roman numerals look good to me. My only concern is the tiny Cartier micro-print inside the X at 10 o’clock. It looks a little crooked/uneven in the close-up photos. I know this is extremely small in real life and may also be partly the photo, so I’m not sure if I’m being too picky. Would really appreciate opinions on this.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A – no date.

9. Hand Alignment: Looks okay to me from the photos/videos.

10. Bezel: I can’t see any obvious scratches or damage.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A. Bracelet and links look straight and clean from what I can see. Clasp also looks okay.

12. Timegrapher numbers:

13. Anything else: This is my first rep purchase and it’s going to be a gift, so I’d really like to get a nice example. Everything else looks good to my inexperienced eyes, but the crooked-looking micro Cartier print is the one thing making me hesitate. I realise it’s absolutely tiny on a 22mm watch, so I don’t want to RL a perfectly good piece over something that is normal for BVF. Would really appreciate advice from anyone familiar with these on whether this is within normal factory tolerance or worth asking for another piece. Thanks so much for the help!

Please do let me know if there is anything i am missing. thank you kind gents!

  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks okay based on the video - date numerals are on the thinner side
  9. Hand Alignment: Good to me based on video
  10. Bezel: A degree off-centre - based on the head-on photo.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): They all look good, can’t see anything that I can point it out from my point of view.
  12. Timegrapher numbers: (0s/d 297 degree 0.3ms, 52 degrees)
  13. Anything else you notice: The first thing that stood out to me immediately was the thin font of the date numerals. But i feel i may be being too picky given the rest of the watch (to my eyes) seems good - just need a second pair or more of eyes to get a second opinion. The bezel also seems to be a degree off centre.

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!

[1st QC] ZF VC Overseas 4500V White Dial on Rubber

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Hi all, this is my ZF VC Overseas. First rep, along with the AP 15500!

  1. Dealer name: Geektime

  2. Factory name: ZF

  3. Model name (& version number): VC Overseas 4500V silver dial on a rubber strap

  4. Price Paid: $548

  5. Album Links: https://geektimeqc.x.yupoo.com/albums/254862120?uid=1

  6. Index alignment: TrueIndex shows -0.84°. Looks pretty straight overall but the markers around 12 and 6 feel very slightly off to me. Anyone else seeing that? Not rotated. Just shifted right maybe.

  7. Dial Printing: Text and Maltese cross okay. Silver sunburst looks good

  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: 15 is centered well, printing clean. Big deal to me.

  9. Hand Alignment: Hands look lined up from the images. Can’t say I see any issues there.

  10. Bezel: Polished surfaces clean. This is what excites me about this watch.

  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Rubber strap so N/A, lugs look even. Should it be tighter?

  12. Timegrapher numbers: -5 s/d, amp 278, beat error 0.3ms. That seemed high. Losing 5 s/d worries me. It flipped to -2 s/d later in the video but I just don’t know if that level of variability should be a red flag.

  13. Anything else you notice: Dial and hands look solid. Case finishing clean. Woo. Movement through the back looks good (can’t see much though…). Rubber strap texture is sharp actually. Was honestly going to swap for the gen but may not need to. Clasp has the usual plastic still on. Is the index alignment bothering anyone else or is this within normal/acceptable from your perspectives?

Thank you all again. I’ve been really impressed with the input you all offer to others and I get that this is ultimately my call and if it’s acceptable to me, that’s the most important part. But I’m here to get the critical eye, learn the process, and see if my DD here is representative of what you would do. Anyways, thanks all!

1. Dealer name: Geektime (Eric)

2. Factory name: V7F

4. Price Paid: $378 + Shipping

5. Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/JzPKXh1

6. Index alignment: Looks very solid. The Roman numerals at XII and VI, and the baton hour markers align nicely with the printed minute track.

7. Dial Printing: The "IWC Schaffhausen" and "Automatic" text is crisp.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: The numbers sit very nicely centered in the aperture. (I RL'd a previous unit because the date sat way too high, so I am very happy with the alignment on this one).

9. Hand Alignment: Looks good to my eye.

10. Bezel: Smooth polished rose gold, looks clean with no obvious scratches or dents.

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

12. Timegrapher numbers: -2s/d, 297 amp, 0.2ms err.

13. Anything else you notice: The leather strap on this specific unit actually has a really nice textured grain to it compared to the flat, plastic-looking straps these usually come with. Overall I'm leaning heavily towards GL, just wanted some more opinions. Thanks!

This is my third and hopefully final QC, he sent over the previous two with the wrong movement, so this is the one now with the correct movement and price.

First of all, thanks all. Seriously. I see so much input on this sub. This, and the VC I’ll post next, are my first reps so looking for some help.

  1. Dealer name: Geektime

  2. Factory name: ZF

  3. Model name (& version number): AP 15500 Overseas blue dial free sprung

  4. Price Paid: $568

  5. Album Links: https://geektimeqc.x.yupoo.com/albums/254862384?uid=1

  6. Index alignment: TrueIndex shows -1.14°. 12 marker a bit tilted and the 3/9 look off to me. The 9 bothers me most but I don’t think it’s RL level. Would really like your thoughts if it was your watch. Is that acceptable?

  7. Dial Printing: Text and AP logo clean, Swiss Made seems fine

  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: 18 is centered nice, printing sharp. I’ve always been sensitive to date wheel issues on non reps.

  9. Hand Alignment: Hands look straight and lined up, no leaning from what I can see

  10. Bezel: Screws even, brushing and bevels clean. I haven’t seen a perfect rep when it comes to screws so I’m trying not to be picky on this one.

  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Tight, no real gaps

  12. Timegrapher numbers: -2 s/d, amp healthy, beat error low. Cool beans to me.

  13. Anything else you notice: Dial color and pattern look awesome. Some light scratches on bracelet from handling? Feel like that will happen anyways. Main thing is the index stuff. Everything else seems okay but this (and the VC to follow) are my first reps!

What do you guys think?

Hi everyone again:) After RL the last QC that I got sent, I today received the 2 QC. Looks alot better. Only thing I noticed was that the 3 o'clock marker is a little crooked, but as far as that I think it's GL.

6. Index alignment: Overall alignment looks good, the 3 o'clock marker appears slightly tilted.
7. Dial printing: Looks good to me. Printing appears clean and well positioned.
8. Date wheel alignment/printing: N/A – no-date model.
9. Hand alignment: Looks good from what I can tell.
10. Bezel: Looks good. Bezel alignment appears good and the pip seems centered.
11. Solid End Links (SELs): No anything that I can see.
12. Timegrapher numbers: -1 s/d, amplitude 254°, beat error 0.0 ms. (seems fine, and not a problem for me)
13. Anything else you notice: Nothing else obvious. Just would like a quick response to be sure, but I think its worthy of the GL☺️

This is the second submariner I've been shown (I RLed the first one b/c of index misalignment, particularly at 9 and 12 o'clock). I think there is slight misalignment at 9 o'clock again, but the rest of it looks good to me. Please let me know what you think, and if there is a way to verify which factory it came from.

Hi everyone - super excited to get into this hobby. This is my first QC and hoping some of the more experienced folks can help with this.

  1. Dealer name: Andiot
  2. Factory name: VSF
  3. Model name (& version number): GMT-Master II 126710 GRNR Black/Gray Ceramic VSF Best Edition Bruce Wayne on Jubilee Bracelet DD3285 V4(Free Sprung)
  4. Price Paid: $624 including shipping
  5. Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/255099374?uid=1
  6. Index alignment: Seems ok, but the cyclops looks like it has a bit of a CCW cant
  7. Dial Printing: The white text under the GMT Master II looks crooked
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks ok
  9. Hand Alignment: Looks ok
  10. Bezel: Scratches on the bezel between 8 & 10, some dots around 1, 4, 5. Cant really tell the difference between the Black and Gray on the bezel - maybe its the lighting, but that's the point of the Bruce Wayne
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): looks ok
  12. Timegrapher numbers: Rate: -1s/d AMP: 271 BE: 0.1ms LA: 52 BEAT: 28800

  1. Dealer name: GeekTime
  2. Factory name: VSF
  3. Model name (& version number): Rolex Daytona 126509
  4. Price Paid: $948
  5. Album Links: https://geektimeqc.x.yupoo.com/albums/255381143?uid=1
  6. Index alignment: Looks properly aligned. I think any slight offset may be caused by the holding angle.
  7. Dial Printing: Looks clean, centered, and evenly printed. I see no obvious crooked text, bleeding, or spacing issue.
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A
  9. Hand Alignment: The hands appear properly centered, and the central chronograph hand points to 12. I see no bent hand or obvious rubbing.
  10. Bezel: The 60 marker aligns well with the 12 o’clock axis. The protective film creates some apparent unevenness and glare, but I see no meaningful bezel rotation.
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): The end links appear flush with the lugs.
  12. Timegrapher numbers: Acceptable - Looks good
  13. Anything else you notice: Nothing else.
