Thank you to those who take the time to share their knowledge and offer assistance! Much appreciated and I'm grateful for subs like this.
I cant see any QC posts for this specific watch/model so would be very interested to see what people think.
Previous posts for the YM37 268622 are for the ARF model which I have surmised is discontinued.
Cannot see any past posts for the CVSF model.
Dealer name: Andiot
Factory name: CVSF
Model name (& version number): Yacht-Master 37mm 268622 CVSF 1:1 Best Edition Gray Dial 316L SS Case and Bracelet A2824
Price Paid: $310 USD + 45 USD postage

Index alignment: Looks good - Rehaut alignment good
Dial Printing: Not perfect but decent enough - Oyster text / Font seems off, O seems tall? Minor
Date wheel alignment/printing: Date wheel appears to be low (10 closer to lower position of window) - Cyclops angle is not aligned (could be camera angle). See image. Not good
Hand Alignment: Looks ok - Minute hand is smaller then gen, gen appears to reach and cover minute indices, this does not. Not a significant issue. See image
Bezel: Looks good. Appears aligned
Solid End Links (SELs): Gap in bottom left lug - See image. Able to see table/light through gap. Not good.
Timegrapher numbers: A2824 +1s/d, BE 0.1ms - Good amplitude. Lift angle is 52 - ETA 2824 is 50, but 52 appears correct/ok based on other QC posts for a A2824.
Anything else you notice:
- Clean sticker on case back. Initially this seems odd (as its listed as CVSF) but I do see this sticker on the initial posts of the CVSF release. Hard to determine if the whole watch is clean as I cant find any good information on CVSF.
- Andiot QC posts often appear to have odd angles showing the cyclops in non front on ways making it hard to tell if its aligned or not.
- Serial Number etching appears poor in comparison to VSF Sub for example - not a deal breaker.
Summary: Based on bottom left SEL gap and cyclops/date alignment I am concerned.
