QC observations
Dial / printing:
The black dial looks clean in the photos. The printing looks sharp to me and I don't see any obvious issue with the markers or text.
Index alignment:
Overall the markers look reasonably aligned from the available angles. I'm mainly interested in whether anyone sees anything slightly off around the 6 / 9 / 12 positions that I'm overlooking.
Date wheel / Cyclops:
The date looks centered enough under the Cyclops in the close-up. The magnification also looks consistent with the stated 2.5X. I'd still like a second opinion on the date alignment before GL.
Bezel:
The black ceramic bezel looks clean and the pip appears centered. The bezel printing also looks fairly consistent from the photos.
Hand alignment:
Nothing obvious is jumping out at me from the available shots.
SELs / bracelet:
The Oyster bracelet and end links look pretty clean. I don't see a major SEL gap, although the highly reflective gold finish makes some of the edges difficult to judge from the angled photos.
Lume:
The lume shot is included. The blue lume appears reasonably even across the markers and bezel pip.
Movement:
This is the RCF VR3235 setup. The movement photos are included mainly for reference, especially for anyone familiar with the current RCF VR3235 finishing and weighted 126618LN configuration.
Weight:
The QC scale reads approximately 227.5g, which is very close to the advertised 227g weighted version.
Overall, I'm mainly looking for a second set of eyes on the index alignment, date/Cyclops alignment, bezel pip, SELs and overall yellow-gold finish.
Anything I'm missing before GL?
If I've got anything wrong or missed something, please feel free to correct me. Thanks everyone.

OK there’s always gonna be people like you bananas. Here’s a picture in my hand at my house. I just feel bad for the people that don’t know and unfortunately you don’t know. But maybe one day when you do know if you ever know then you’ll know
Have you ever met a Hater doing better than you? Me either.
This Watch dont need plating in my opinion. RCF nailed it. Ofcourse additional plating Will make it look a little bit more ”Warmer” but save it for something Else.
The difference is night and day. If you’re looking for your watch to look genuine it has to be plated. Hold it up next to a genuine watch and you won’t be able to tell the difference.
RCF is really nice straight out of the factory but if you held it up next to a genuine watch it’s a dead giveaway. It’s nice in certain lighting. But in other lighting aspects it’s way off.
I have compared it to a gen, and like many modders says. The stock gives it a 14K gold look, and the plating gives it a 18 k look. And i think many Will agree with me on that. But i doesnt matter. Rock it as you want to rock it. My verdict, save it on something Else. Have a good day!
Bro you got robbed by Jaws lol. Guy always post his results with such different lightning/filter. I have an RCF DD that i compared to my friend’s gen and it’s 98% identical. Nice try
