I honestly feel like I would have GL’d it!🫣I’m gonna go and check mine now
I don’t want to be one of them guys that’s RL a piece because the second hand is 0.001mm shorter than gen, but it has made think that I do need to pay closer attention to my QC pics.
PS - to the holder. She’s still a great watch and no one would notice that on the wrist

You should ask for other reading IMHO, seller maybe adjusted angle to get better result.Can someone please explain me why is the lift angle 59 instead of the usual 52 degrees at this VS3235 reading? Should I ask for another reading?

Well, not gonna post pictures here EVER again.
Just wanted to show my piece with a nice picture. Now it is a QC topic all of the sudden.

Look at the Gen above. Pip also misaligned?
Foh
Below is my 2010 gen which has the early thin hour marker surrounds dial which I would avoid as fat surrounds look much better.
Although I recently received a Hulk, this is my daily for the last week:
@KacperK and you need to stop

Check this out
Two brand new Q66 serial VSFs, both date wheels are misaligned, I can live with that, I'm going Gen on mine and the one I bought for a friend isn't as badly aligned. He said he can live with it.
But check this shit out: as I went to take off the bracelets to give them a nice oil bath I found neither case having the serial engraved. Can anybody confirm this for any other 12 subs?

You will be call out for not having engraved 126619 between lugs , misaligned date wheel it’s different story
I'm not worried about being called out Bro. That's the least of my concerns lol.
What I'm worried about is the engraving missing. It's just my OCD. Nothing about "omg totally not Gen like" it's a replica from china lol
126619LB and Rolex Design is there.
6 o'clock is missing engraving.
Or is that cause it's a gold model?
On my Daytona and datejust it says both stainless steel and serial number.
As per misaligned Date, wasn't visible on QCs. not the dealers fault.

Everyone got different expectations but how often you will take off bracelet to check engravings ? Not sure about serial number you need different angle photoI'm not worried about being called out Bro. That's the least of my concerns lol.

It usually has it.
And as I said, it's not about me not seeing it, rather about it not being there at all which is just in my head now. That's just me.
But it's interesting to know the newest batch doesn't have it and I thought I'd share.
Back to them missing:
On intime they always show pics of bracelets off
No stainless steel, of course, but it had the serial there.

I have a Q66 126610LN. It doesn't have the serial number engraved.It usually has it.
And as I said, it's not about me not seeing it, rather about it not being there at all which is just in my head now. That's just me.

Sounds like it might be time for the no date option
I see this a lot, and it’s interesting because things which are obvious visual tells annoy me, but the non-visual ghost date I could live with quite easily!
I guess that’s the ultimate goal - find the rep you love with flaws that won’t keep you up at night!
