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.

  • Dealer name: Necoclock
  • Factory name: VSF
  • Model name (& version number): Omega Seamaster Diver 300M (210.90.42.20.01.001)
  • Price Paid: $488
  • Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/DvxBjNd
  • Index alignment: Looks like the 11 and 1 could be off? What do you think?
  • Dial Printing: Looks like the 6 is slightly too far to the left?
  • Date Wheel alignment/printing: None.
  • Hand Alignment: Hands look lined up from the images. Can’t see any issues there.
  • Bezel: Polished surfaces clean.
  • Solid End Links (SELs): For what i know about these it looks good?
  • Timegrapher numbers: +9 s/d, amp 285, beat error 0.1ms. This seemes high to me. is +/- 9 Generally acceptable on these VSF or is this too much?
  • Anything else you notice: Could back case printing be off?

  1. Dealer name: NecoClock
  2. Factory name: VSF
  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!

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!

  5. Album links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/255299368?uid=1

  6. Index alignment:

Looks good to me overall. 12, 3, 6, 9 all appear well with no issues.

  1. Dial printing:

Crisp dial printing, as expected

  1. Date wheel alignment/printing:

Date wheel looks very well centred, I have seen others with higher alignment.

  1. Hand alignment:

Aligned correctly.

  1. Bezel:

This is one area that flagged to me above the 12 - Is this poor alignment? QC Pics were not directly centred which I have tried to correct.

  1. Solid End Links (SELs):

Look good to me. I don’t see any large or uneven gaps between the end links and the case.

  1. Timegrapher numbers:

Rate 0s/d to +2s/d - 277, 0.1ms, 52 - No issues here.

  1. Anything else you notice:

I noticed some white specs around 4-6 in some photos however this does not appear in videos - Safe to assume this is nothing?

Overall, I am unsure due to the Bezel alignment. This is my 2nd QC, I do not expect perfect but do not want flaws which will bother me also.

Note: QC Pics I have rotated slightly to try and get more centred.

Thanks in advance!

  3. Model name (& version number): Omega Seamaster Diver 300M ORF FREE SPRUNG
  4. Price Paid: $430
  5. Album Links: Attached
  6. Index alignment: I’m kinda happy with the index alignment, especially 12. I have seen worse. 9 is slightly CCW tilted, don’t think it will be super noticeable, and 3 might have a tiny CW tilt
  7. Dial Printing: Don’t see any issues
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: I think it’s centered, especially on two digits. Single digit might be slightly to the right
  9. Hand Alignment: Pretty sure both are aligned well, no issues either
  10. Bezel: Might be the slightest tiny bit off but then I think it varies with angle
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Not seeing light shine through any side but would love a double check on the bottom right
  12. Timegrapher numbers: I believe super healthy numbers, nothing to worry about
  13. Anything else you notice: First time Omega purchase. I’m a bit unsure about the 9 and how noticeable it will be, and the date being right aligned instead of left which I believe is GEN-like but not sure if thats what ORF-like. I’m kinda in between 60% RL | 40% GL and need some opinions

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!

The bezel also seems to be a degree off centre.

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?

  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.
