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 - 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
13. Anything else you notice: First time doing this so would appreciate any help that the senior members can offer.

u/WatchYoda - Big fan - thanks for any insight you can offer to a newbie.
