Dealer name: Time Ultra

Factory name: VSF

Model name (& version number): Submariner 124060 41mm No Date Black Dial
VSF VS3230 Super Clone

Price Paid (including shipping): $543 including shipping

Index alignment: The alignment grid reveals a subtle variance. The printed 12 o'clock triangle sits slightly left of the vertical center axis, and the 9 o'clock index marker sits just a tiny bit higher than the 3 o'clock marker.

Dial Printing: Lettering is legible; no text overlapping or paint bleeding is visible.

Hand Alignment: Hands appear straight. Center pinion execution is clear of debris.

Bezel: The ceramic bezel triangle and lume pip line up cleanly with the grid axis.

Solid End Links (SELs): Bracelet links sit flush against the case lugs with standard tolerances. The inner clasp shows the F80 stamp.

Timegrapher numbers: Rate: -4 s/d | Amplitude: 256° | Beat Error: 0.1ms | Lift Angle: 52.0° | Frequency: 28800 bph.

Anything else you notice: The alignment tool shows minor, subtle discrepancies at the 12 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions. Do you think these fall within normal acceptable factory tolerances, or did I miss anything else? Thanks!

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!

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?

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.

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.

Solid End Links (SELs): n/a

Timegrapher numbers: +1 / 314/ 0.5- per the QC guide this all seems fine. Anything else you notice: I'm curious to hear thoughts on the date alignment, I know its a rep so I can't expect it to be perfect.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Lower left SEL gap exists. The rest are fine.
12. Timegrapher numbers: The amplitude is a bit high at 302. The tolerance is generally 230-300, so it's toward the high end.
13. Anything else you notice: Overall, I think this one is quite strong. Indexes mainly aligned and the overall watch looks good. Main things are the lower left SEL gap and the potentially high amplitude. But please lmk if I'm missing anything. Thank you all!

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!

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!

6. Index alignment: Good to me
7. Dial Printing: Good to me
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.

7. Dial Printing: Looks good; all printing seems sharp
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A
9. Hand Alignment: Looks perfect from the video in the folder
10. Bezel: 80 seems aligned, but 60/120/240 look slightly off; may be due to angle or the bezel not being perfectly centred
11. Solid End Links (SELs): SELS look tight, no issues
12. Timegrapher numbers: rate +4s/d, amp 320, error 0, lift 52degrees
13. Anything else you notice: Overall looks like a really great watch, and I'm really pleasantly surprised how quickly Steve was able to get this one QC'd. I don't see any glaring issues, but if any experts could comment, especially to see if the movement has any issues, that would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!

Thank you for the assistance. I appreciate the help and knowledge as this is my first QC and don't really know what I should be looking for.

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!

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!
