Guys, while we are on the topic of YM from CF may I humbly ask for your opinion related to my first QC
Dealer name: GeekTime
Factory name: Clean
Model name (& version number): Yacht-Master 126622 904L Gray Dial VR3235
Price paid: $518
Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/oYLFqbO
Index alignment: looks good
Dial Printing: looks good
Date Wheel alignment/printing: looks good
Hand Alignment: looks good
Bezel: Does the bottom left corner of the 0 by "20" look like it was scratched? Also, mark over the 1 of "10" or is my OCD calling again?
Solid End Links (SELs): n/a
Timegrapher numbers: looks good, I guess
Anything else you notice: Rehaut Crown alignment (above the inverted 12:00 triangle) is slightly a hair off to the left

Maybe I did something wrong...
I apologize if I was wrong and ask the moderators to delete my post because I don't see how to do it myself.

It's ok, you're a new member and many of us like to take a little laugh at your expense.
Please read the rules about QC, they are quite specific, we cannot GL a watch for you.
Plus, posting the pictures with the grid/radials to check for alignment is looked at as a bit exaggerated, ridiculous in some cases. There's members who won't hestate flaming you thoroughly for this. The thing is, what can we do for your OCD? You'll find 50% of members who'll be fine with the watch, the remaining finding another 3 or 4 flaws.
For any alignment issues, you're on your own, we don't know if you can live with that or not.
For the scratches, ask for additional pics if you feel they're real, tell the TD your specific concerns and you'll get a response.
But first, read the QC rules/threads.
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...

So if anyone is interested, I´m selling 2 brand new CF YM´s in EU. I will post the comparison in a few days
@CaptainRep I meant this transition from case to bracelet. The gap is big. Bad work. Sorry for the bad picture quality.
Oh man, that gap looks crazy. I need to look back at my BPF to see if the gap is the same.
YM release from Clean seems to be decent. Like other reps, it is not perfect. I'll go into that with the case shortly. I guess you just have to choose your poison.
Clean as the factory is not one of my favorite. They have pulled some shady practices in the past.
Definitely very interested to see a comparison between TomRep and stock. Do post up when you have the pictures.
Congratulation mate. That VR movement will last for a while.
Very nice mate. Congrat. I have to say that every time I look at the Clean YM, I am just amazed at how nice the hour and minute hands look. When I put them under the scope, they are just spotless, no marks or patches like other rep hands.My QC from Trusty. I'm checking the tracking every five minutes
I mean just look at them in your pic. Crazy nice.
TC still eating the cake… at least to me.
Had two, wish I never sold them and now struggling to find one
TC probably made the best OOTB 5-digit. But, being that the case was made for 2824, there will be challenges if you want to frankenize with a gen dial, hands and a rep 3135 movement.
TC 16610 and TC YM
No worries, bro. Your sample looks perfect, keep in mind that my take/acceptance of the imperfections will be totally different than yours.
There are some good guys in this reddit group that can also help you with your QC. Good luck!

CROWN GUARDS
All three stacked-up side view. Noob's crown guards are relatively thinnest and CF are thickest.
