Yes.
Take your time to watch it the first time..
make notes.
Then look again after 4-5 hours or so, just to make sure you don’t see any funny stuff
No missing paint
SEL’s
Everything aligned (date, dial, insert)
Dust
The basics ????

This is the no date? Stock is not available yet. 126610 is apparently available.
Will let you know when I have QC pics. As will GMT no doubt.
Many thanks for the QC tips gents.
Yeah, sorry, I wasn't clear. Was more a general comment about VSF stock following the raids. Cheers.
Just Received by VSF 126610LN, all good except date wheel alignment issues for the vast majority of dates.
Only fix is a competent watchmaker needs to make some adjustments? I understand its not the date wheel itself, but the gears correct?

DW alignments on the VSF is getting worse. They started off nearly all perfect upon release. Looks like they are rushing to meet demand.

It's been discussed a good few times. Let the date change by itself at midnight and see where it sets before jumping to conclusions. I bet you will find it centres perfectly. It's only when setting by hand it doesnt centre. Try and come back..
The guy above rejected 4x watches.. jeez..

You are right. I read that too before I approved my QC's. The date was crooked on those too. Anyway, I didn't complain either.
This is true, and it is because of the movement, 2 different mechanism wheels with other amount of tooth

Jeez ... the guy quoted didn't read the whole story before to talk.
I have already wrote here, that i have asked my TD to do a video of the date changing by itself at midnight before to reject it, and you know what ? still badly misaligned !
so stop to spread this kind of information because it's not always true.

I have a better strategy in mind... instead of cursing my soul to find a rep with the date aligned, I'll wait for the "no date" release, so I won't have the problem of the disallied DW.
yup, i have rejected 4 watch with bad 2X alignement, but gladly the 5th watch was perfect !
(there is the same problem on some VSF Panerai)
that's really need some attention at the QC level
Which td?
This is with the date changing by itself, no better. From about 7 - 28 it gets progressively worse and then looks centered 29 - 6
Of course the QC photo was only of 29 and looked fine

The way I am, I would have gone mad every time I looked at that DW!
I couldn't live with that problem.
This reinforces my idea of waiting for a "no date", I want to avoid making an enemy of my TD by discarding all the clocks it shows me in the QC until I find a clock with the DW aligned.

sr_design : Thanks to also highlight the same problem even if the date change by itself, this false information about that should be stopped ... for the QC, i always ask for some other date pics in every range (like 6 / 8 / 12 / 18 / 21 / 28 / 31) , we pay like an extra of 50/100 $ by watch to goes with an TD , i think we can ask for it.
Manuel.b : same , dw aligment is a nightmare for me also , and even more with this cyclop that magnify it right in your face ... i'm a bit (a lot ?) ocd ? surely... but i think my TD was pretty patient and the problem of alignment is very clear (is not like a tiny little details ...) ! (and i think this can be avoided if the TD take a little more attention to this but that's another subject) at least, they still want my orders , but i can look the date whitout losing my hair

Your watch is very nice and everything is well aligned.
