+6 seems a lot or am I wrong? Did they provide movement pictures to verify the dd3285?
+6s/d is reasonable. The time grapher is more part of QC to show the health of the movement (the amplitude) than the regulation. The regulation will very likely shift during shipping as the watch gets bumped around. Also, when regulating a watch you want to look at the average of the rate across multiple positions (typically 5 positions) to get the average as close to zero as possible. Ultimately if you want to know the time, look at your phone, as long as you don’t need to reset your rep every few days, you’re doing well.

Great info! Thanks for that!

Does that mean this "1NQ" is random code or that its same bracelet producer that produced for Noob Submariners back in the days? They where very nice quality already then.

@CTime You got me with this batch, thanks for your QCs.
Very happy with it and GL, waiting for arrivement.

No idea bro - these all look like a new batch or batches of clasps, just with different codes. Someone screwed up the engraving machine template is all. I haven't seen any mention of the bracelet changing, just the clasps.

F6U is for jubilee bracelet with 3285 movement
1NQ is for oyster bracelet with 3285 movement
Y8C is for oyster bracelet with 3186 movement

The bracelets are different from 3168 old batches

I'm totaly brand new to all of this and have only been 100% happy with my service from CTime so far.

I'm at the quality control stage for my Pepsi and everything looks fantastic.

I'm not complaining at all, I know these are replicas, but other than the 'machining' effect missing on a few of the parts (randomly as far as I can tell) I really wonder why they haven't duplicated the font on the date properly?

Myrs noticed (and rightly so I think) the font is slightly 'bold' on the clean vs the gen.

This seems to be such a simple thing that Is so obvious when even just looking at the watch on the wrait that it amazes me they didn't get it right.

Again, I'm not comparing, it's a great watch for a great price and CTime have been fantastic... But why??

Such a simple thing to get perfect.

Just my opinion though and as I said, I'm the absolute opposite of an expert.

Paul.
