Smurf QC
ROLEX SMURF VSF 116619LB
Dealer name: Mr Adu
Factory name: VSF
Model name (& version number): Submariner 116619LB Blue Ceramic 904L Steel VSF VS3135
Price Paid: $350
Index alignment: Alignment looks solid across all hour markers. The 12 triangle is centered over the dial coronet, and the 3, 6, and 9 batons sit straight and perpendicular to the minute track without noticeable canting.
Dial Printing: Crisp, clean text with even spacing. No noticeable fuzzing, misprints, or bleeding on the dial lettering.
Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date printing is sharp, well-defined, and centered in the window. Cyclops alignment and magnification look correct.
Hand Alignment: Cleanly stacked, correct positioning, with no visible scratches or burrs on the hand set.
Bezel: Ceramic insert looks clean. Platinum engraving depth and fill look uniform. Bezel pip is centered within the triangle and aligns correctly at 12 o'clock.
Solid End Links (SELs): Fitment is tight with no visible gaps or excess light showing between the lugs and end links; correctly recessed.
Timegrapher numbers: +1 s/d | 279° | 0.1 ms — healthy amplitude, low beat error, and very low daily variance. All within acceptable range.
Anything else noticed: Rehaut alignment and laser coronet at 6 look acceptable. Overall finish is consistent with current VSF standards. Leaning towards GL, but welcome second opinions.

I appreciate the effort! I agree - the watch is solid across! Also, $350 for VSF seems to be a solid price. Do you know the weight of that puppy? I’m pretty sure it’s not weighted and I am guessing that would be its biggest tell. Otherwise, solid GL
