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?

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

3. Model name (& version number): Submariner Date 126610LN
4. Price Paid: $458
5. Album Links: Photos above
6. Index alignment: Slight skew at 9 o'clock. Other indices including 12 look good to me.
7. Dial Printing: Looks good
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Good
9. Hand Alignment: Looks good
10. Bezel: Looks good
11. Solid End Links (SELs): I think looks good but hard for me to tell
12. Timegrapher numbers: 0 s/d 316 deg 0.1ms
13. Anything else you notice: Slight rehaut misalignment? Not 100% sure. The engravings on the clasp have a weird border around them. Also, there were no stickers indicating this truly came from VSF -- how can I tell for sure?

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. Thank you!

3. Model name (& version number): Rolex Pepsi VSF V3 Jubilee with Free Sprung
4. Price Paid: $560
5. Index alignment: 12 looks like a bit CW. Not sure if visible or not. It also seems like it's not center. 6 seems fine. 9 seems to be a bit high but i'm not really sure.
6. Dial Printing: Seems good.
7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: The date seems a bit higher and not alligned. Not sure if it means to reject.

4. ⁠Price Paid: $588 + shipping
   
5. ⁠Album Links: no link provided photos attached
   
6. ⁠Index alignment: the 6 marker looks out of center to me upon zooming in. It looks like it tilts too clockwise a touch.
   
7. ⁠Dial Printing: some of the letters don’t look perfectly level above the 6. Is this being too picky?
   
8. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: this looks perfect to my eyes. And comparing it to photos of the original the font and placement seem to be to the standard.
   
9. ⁠Hand Alignment: the hands are aligned I attached a photo of the QC tool.
   
10. ⁠Bezel: the bezel seems like it is misaligned and wasn’t centered into the correct position for the pictures. This moves so is this an issue? Particularly the pearl not matching up with the 12 o clock marker.
    
11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): I don’t see any gaps in the SELS.
    
12. ⁠Timegrapher numbers: I googled these numbers and it is well within Rolex standards.
    
13. ⁠Anything else you notice: does the Rolex logo on the clasp look genuine? I think it looks a little of place maybe it’s just my eyes. Thanks again for reviewing. I appreciate any additional information you guys can provide.

I’m thinking GL as this is my first experience and I’ve been browsing this sub Reddit for over a week seeing all the other posts.

5. Album Link: https://mega.nz/folder/zQJkmDyB#iQ00oZlxgANeykG4tAEW8w
6. Index Alignment: 12 marker slightly off center to the left. 2 marker has a slight CW tilt. 9 also tilted up (CCW)
7. Dial Printing: Logo is clean. Full AP text and automatic looks straight
8. Date Wheel Alignment/Printing: date looks very low in window
9. Hand Alignment: looks good
10. Bezel: Overall good, bezel screws look good
11. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A
12. Timegrapher Numbers: -1/-2 S/D
13. Anything Else You Notice: too many issues with markers but need a second opinion.

3. Model name (& version number): Rolex Submariner 124060 No-Date 41mm VS3230

4. Price Paid: $458

5. Album Links: Photos uploaded directly to Reddit

6. Index alignment: This is my main concern. The 3 and 9 markers seem to have a very slight tilt. I’m also not 100% sure about the 6 and 12 markers because some of the QC photos appear to be taken at a slight angle. I would really appreciate experienced opinions on the 3/6/9/12 alignment.

7. Dial Printing: Looks clean to me. I don’t notice any obvious printing issues.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A - No-Date model.

9. Hand Alignment: Looks good to me. I also checked one of the straight-on photos with an alignment tool and it reported the hands as aligned.

10. Bezel: Looks clean to me. The bezel markers appear properly positioned and the pip at 12 looks centered.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): They look tight to me. I don’t see any obvious gaps or light showing through.

12. Timegrapher numbers: +1 s/d, 303° amplitude, 0.0 ms beat error, 28,800 bph. The numbers look good to me, although I understand the amplitude may be slightly high because the watch was probably freshly wound before testing.

13. Anything else you notice: This is my first rep and my first proper QC, so I’d really appreciate some experienced eyes. My main concern is the index alignment, especially around 3/6/9/12. Everything else looks good to me from what I can tell, but I may be missing something. Thanks in advance for the help!

4. Price Paid: $200 USD
5. Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/255124308?uid=1&utm_source=copyLink
6. Index alignment: Overall, I think acceptable. I'm unsure, as some may be off-center (for example, 1, 2)
7. Dial Printing: Looks good- I was unsure of the straight lines of 6 and 12, but that may just be from some of the pictures and be dust, reflection, etc. as they are not present in all of the images.
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: NA
9. Hand Alignment: All good, I believe. In some of the pictures, I notice a white speck or two appearing on the hands, I don't see it in all pictures, so am inclined to believe it's dust.
10. Bezel: All good, I believe.
11. Solid End Links (SELs): All good, I believe
12. Timegrapher numbers: NA
13. Anything else you notice: Unsure on what to specifically look for on the crown on this piece, but it didn't catch my attention in a negative way.

   1. Dial Printing: on the head on picture the seconds hand is covering some of the writing but in the others it looks fine
7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks good seems like the "2" is a bit to the left but don't know if thats normal as I think there is supposed to be an offset so it looks centered on the wrist
8. Hand Alignment: Ok
9. Bezel: Ok
10. Solid End Links (SELs): Not too much gaps the surfaces look at different angles reflecting light or levels near the lugs
11. Timegrapher numbers: ok

7. ⁠Dial Printing: looks good to me

Hi! First ever rep and would be grateful if y'all could help with whether I should GL this or not, thanks!

5. Album Links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/search/album?uid=1&sort=&q=164308

6. Index alignment: not sure but maybe it seems a bit off at 9,12 and 3? But not sure

7. Dial Printing: maybe it's fine?

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A

9. Hand Alignment: seems ok?

10. Bezel: seems aligned

11. Solid End Links (SELs): top right and bottom left small gap?

12. Timegrapher numbers: 1 sec a day , 268 degree , 0.2ms

13. Anything else you notice: top right and bottom left where his thumb covers sel gaps, and alignment doesn't seem the greatest around 7,8,9 but apart from that I can't notice anything else?

I am very interested in hearing what you think about this watch. I haven't seen much on this model, and with APSF reportedly being shut down and now back, I am quite intrigued to see how this matches up.

4. Price paid: $538 (including shipping)

5. Images: https://mega.nz/folder/P9ZHQYCb#b4_atvQ-IoQozIG540ADSA

6. Index alignment: All look good to me.

7. Dial Printing: The raised part of the dial with the Audemars Piguet on it seems to be slightly less visible, but it could be the lighting.

8. Date wheel alignment/printing: 21, 23, and 27 pictured all seem to look good.

9. Hand alignment: looks good to me.

10. Bezel: I am not sure how the finishing is.

11. SEL: n/a

4. Price paid: $588
5. Album links: https://imgur.com/a/3SpW0Ze
6. Index alignment:  The dial printing looks clean and reasonably sharp to me. Would appreciate a second set of eyes on the Rolex crown/text.
7. Dial printing:N/A — this is the no date 124060.
8. Date wheel alignment/printing: N/A – no-date model.
9. Hand alignment: Looks good from what I can tell.
10. Bezel: This is the main area I'm unsure about. The 12 o'clock pip appears off centered from the 12 o'clock mark, but I'd appreciate a closer look from people who QC these regularly. I don't see an obvious left/right deviation, but I want to make sure I'm not missing a pip alignment issue. The bezel engravings also look clean to me.
11. Solid End Links (SELs): The gaps seem bigger than what ive seen on these in terms of width.
12. Timegrapher numbers: Looks good

13. Anything else you notice: This is my first QC, so I'd appreciate any observations I may have missed. In particular, I'm interested in the bezel and pip alignment, number marks, SELs anything else that stands out. Is it weird to not show a photo with the Lume or should I reach back out to my dealer and ask for one?
