I could not find the QC forum.... Any idea?

There is no QC forum. It’s for YOU to QC your own watch and make sure you got the watch you ordered…that’s it. Unless you have a specific issue with it?

 

[talkingshadow]

OK. I was not aware of this being new member.

 

[talkingshadow]

So after guidance from the Senior Members (Which is very appreciated), I noticed few rehaut issues on both on my 116610 and 126610. Also I noted a gap on the lower side of the Crown for 126610.
Next expert eyes to confirm and if this is a common issue with VSF

Not only an issue with VSF but an issue on any genuine Rolex as well. Lucky you. Accept it.

 

[talkingshadow]

Agree on Rehaut issue.... But the crown gap is irritating me.

 

[Anonray]

Can you zoom in more on the crown guard? Also, i’ve heard that drawing red lines can help identify if the gap is big enough.

 

[talkingshadow]

Thanks Buddy, I have zoomed in more and can see the gap is there from two diferent angles Am I correct?

Heartfelt thanks must go out to those diligent “senior members” who have saved another soul from the horror of buying a Sub with flaws that are utterly indiscernible to the naked eye.

it is impossible to determine if there is a defect, unless you are sure that the photographic lens is perfectly planar with the watch, even a slight inclination could deceive the reality, imho

to be sure, you have to see a side photo, like this

 

[Davne25]

To summarize it, mate this is a replica watch, dont nitpick on such things, especially not if you have only qc pictures which are maybe not taken in a straight 90 degree angle and have different lighting to it… replicas are far from perfect, thats part of the hobby. This is not an issue but rather tolerable construction preciseness. Buy a watch, wait till you have it in your hands and then modify it with gen or rep parts that suit your preferences, thats part and imo the most fun of this hobby. Building YOUR perfect watch.

You don’t see that the picture is not perfectly centered and unless it is, you can’t determine if there’s CG gap? I’m 99% sure watch is fine.

I feel sorry for the TDs…

Are you for real?

 

[mercurio007]

even with side photo is difficult if it is not planar,

look at this, the crown seems moved to the left this because the photo is slightly tilted to the left

Yeah, damn rehaut, it's a flaw mainly seen with newbies strangely. You need a RAT (Rehaut Attachment Tool) for this.
p0pperini is the RAT expert around here, he'll help !

You had to draw red lines, blue lines don't show faults. Also while your senior members are checking the QC's, ask them to see if the rehaut's attached properly. If not, don't worry,p0pperini has a patented rehaut attachment tool, you can buy one from him.

Honestly, the rep factories seem incapable of sending out a Sub these days with it's rehaut attached correctly. But luckily Rolex supplies a tool. See this diagram which shows the tool and model number you should quote when you contact a Rolex AD to order yours:
