Hi guys,

This is going to be my second purchase of replica watch and first time purchase through CHAZINGTIME so I am still not experienced enough.

Can I please have your opinion on the QC photos?

I am not sure if my eyes are correct, but I think I noticed the dial is crooked and not straight.

How do we use the ruler alignment tool?

Also does +9 s/d considered normal or should I expect different figure?



Thanks
Dave

The dial looks good it's the bezel that needs to be moved one click for it to be centered at the 12 position. The alignment tool is not used on here as it is common on Reddit and it's @TESLA760 favorite. The timegrapher is to show you that the watch is working as it should. and they don't wind it up fully. The +9 is good and should be better when you receive the watch and wind it fully and remember these watches are not Swiss made and they are made in not the best conditions with no QC from the floor.

The dial is not 100% centered. The date is also too high. The factory values don't look bad. I don't find the double XX serial number that sexy either. Reminds me of the ZZF 116610.

The dial is centered, look at all the minute dashes/markers and the rehaut.

The date is certainly too high but could be the movement and maybe a cycle of the date function would align it. Sometimes the date "hangs".

The bezel is also not at 12:00. It's at 12:00:30. One click to the left would be centered.

Numbers are actually good and are certain to be better since it shouldn't be fully wound.

My life would not be complete without that alignment tool. The creator should be issued the Nobel Peace Prize for ingenuity

Should I have said it like this:

Datewheel is also fucked as on all new VSF 3235 batches.

Had four new VSFs all had this issue.

Get s gen Datewheel. Done.


Would that work better for you?

If that's your only problem! 😅Look closely!!! The dial is not 100% aligned! Crown and 12 o'clock are not centered! We'll look at the bezel later!
Well, not the only problem, sadly this is an English forum. You can only speak other languages in the International sections!

The oval sticker on the band is printed with the word CLEAR not CLEAN. Is this significant?

Dial is centered you say?



Thanks for this.
Yes that is exactly what I mean.
I noticed the dial is not 100% centered.
Anyway I have requested to replace for a new unit and CHAZINGTIME said will send new QC soon for the replacement new unit hopefully next week.

Thanks for this, I found it is very helpful.
Yes that is exactly what I mean.
I noticed the dial is not perfectly centered.
Anyway I have requested for a new replacement unit and CHAZINGTIME said will email QC for the new replacement unit soon hopefully by next week.
Cheers

Read what I wrote above my brother

Clean doesn't care, or maybe it's on purpose

So your biggest problem. 👍 One click further and it would be translated! 🤷‍♂️ But everything is fine! But it doesn't change the problem with the watch. Still has the non-centered dial and date.
