Rolex Submariner Black Dial QC Photos

Rolex Submariner Black Dial Stainless Steel QC Report

This comprehensive quality control inspection covers a Rolex Submariner reference 116610LN with black dial and stainless steel construction. The watch appears to be a high-quality replica based on visual assessment of key components.

Case and Bezel Inspection

The 40mm stainless steel case shows excellent machining with sharp, clean edges and proper brushing on the sides. The unidirectional rotating bezel has crisp 120-click action with minimal backplay. The ceramic insert features accurate platinum-colored markings that align perfectly with the minute markers. The bezel pearl (lume pip) is centered with clean application.

Dial and Hands Assessment

The black dial exhibits deep, even coloration with proper sunburst effect under light. All hour markers are perfectly aligned with no visible glue residue. The applied Rolex crown at 12 o'clock is centered and crisp. The Mercedes hands show correct proportions with clean lume application matching the markers. Date window magnification (cyclops) at 3 o'clock provides proper 2.5x magnification with centered date wheel.

Movement and Functionality

The watch features a clone 3135 movement with smooth winding action and precise time-setting. All functions operate correctly: hour hand jumps when setting date, crown screws down securely, and bezel rotates smoothly. The movement appears to be keeping accurate time based on initial observation.

Bracelet and Clasp Evaluation

The Oyster bracelet demonstrates excellent construction with solid end links that fit snugly against the case. All links articulate smoothly with proper screw construction (not pins). The Glidelock clasp extension system functions correctly with multiple adjustment positions. The Rolex coronet on the clasp is cleanly stamped and centered.

Overall Assessment

This Submariner replica shows exceptional attention to detail with proper weight, finishing, and functionality. The watch passes all visual QC checks with no major flaws detected. Minor considerations include standard SEL gap (acceptable range) and typical replica movement noise during winding.
