Wondering if there is a place on this forum where members discuss QC pics. Would love a second opinion when the pictures come in!

QC forum

QC pictures are provided by the TD for you . They are not meant to be paraded around for everyone to shoot darts at them. If there is a specific issue of concern (crooked marker, bent hand etc), you can post and ask.
Posting a full set of QC photos and asking "help me with QC" will most likely end with all photos deleted by a moderator, plus possible account sanctions for repeated offenses, as it is against RWI's forum rules.
What you can do though, is ask a specific question and post 1 or 2 appropriate photos to support your question, such as "Do you guys think my 6 hr marker is crooked" or "Does the printing on my bezel look too bright". That's allowed.
Short answer is No, they are for you.

Remembering at all times, details on a watch, magnified X-times on a computer screen, are normally next to impossible to see without a loupe in real life on your wrist. Plus at a fraction of the price, 1:1 replication can not, and should not, be expected.
As to why:
A little on QC pics.
QC pics are to satisfy YOU that the watch is OK to YOUR standards, that there are no crooked indices, missing lume, offset chrono hands etc. QC pics are not for picking tells or things that are present in every example of a model such as spelling errors, happy feet, wrong lume colour etc. These...

The purpose of QC pictures
At RWI, we're fortunate to have a few dealers who take the time to individually procure, inspect, and photograph watches for potential buyers. This has not always been the norm, and in fact, it's a recent development. Up until about two years ago, all of the dealers drop-shipped everything and...

He asked if there was a place on this forum regarding QCs, the responses he received were more than adequate. You recommended Reddit which many users will tell you is not the best source for information (putting it as nicely as much as possible).Sorry, heasked the question
If someone asks if there is a deli that sells sandwiches, assuming there is not, would you not point him towards a supermarket that does even though it is not a deli? Just because it does not exactly answer his question does not mean that relevant information couldn't be helpful to the post author.

Respectfully, the point is you are trying to send him to a supermarket that only sells dog food…..OP can go wherever he wants but what usually happens is after a visit to Reddit they are usually straight back here asking silly questions…..
Deli v dog food, love it 
I actually have this watch on order at the moment, but I believe there is a V3, hopefully with improved dial, guess we shall see. Are you ordering black dial or white dial?
My advice, if you really want it, is to look through the main RWI thread on this watch. See if you can see half of the stuff the guys there focus on, I know I don't. But, full disclosure, trust me when I say, you don't know what you don't know, and sometimes you can't unsee things when pointed out.
So if you want your watch dissected, by all means use some QC tool and the Reddit 'experts', but if you want to enjoy it, read the above re expectations and use your own eyes.

... So basically you're getting a better version than OP? You do realize you're going to make him reject it now regardless of how good it is....Deli v dog food, love it

Sorry to have kicked the hornets nest lol.
But seeing as I have some attention. For a Super Asia Clone 4130 Movement (Clean Daytona V2) is a 320 amp Timegrapher reading something to be concerned about? I've heard the range ends @ 320 on the high side and that the movement can damage itself if the amplitude is too high.
The watch LOOKS great ladies and gentleman.

The amplitude is acceptable. There's always a bit of anxiety making an expensive purchase like that for the first time. Once you get it in hand I'm pretty sure you'll be enthralled with it. Enjoy!

After some poking around, I've learned that Clean has only started making its V3 version for the Ceramic/Stainless steel panda and black dial. I ordered the Stainless/Stainless 116520 white dial V2.

I had the 116520 white v1 not long ago. It was awesome so I can only imagine what v2 is like. Personally I can’t tell the difference between different versions let alone next to Gen
For reference…..
Alas me and Daytonas don’t get on with one another, just ask @P..DR..D about it
Edit: Had a total of 5 different references up to now, won’t give up
