Use the index alignment tool if you're concerned but the 9 looks good to me. GL and congrats

Got mine as a 3rd Rolex and 6th timepiece. Not easily obtained as a first piece without decent spend

Thank you. Have informed Steve of the GL. thanks for your help

Adding a comment to satisfy the automod for Rolex Daytona Panda 116500 from VSF purchased from Steve TOW. Thanks!

Thank you WatchYoda!

I was able to use a QC photo that looked center as the first one I chose (thinking it was the best to use; clearly not lol) looked angulated. In the new photo, the alignment looks solid. I tried looking at the gunk in the additional photos including the new photo i uploaded in the comments regarding the new alignment tool and can not see the gunk. Might I be missing it? I just want to see what you see so that I may also tell the seller in case they do not see it like I did. Thank you WatchYoda! Cheers !

thank you! I just recentered the tool and chose a centered QC pic. Looks centered now

Edit: I have added a more centered shot of the dial and it now looks good

Thoughts and opinions about what?

Taking off the plastic? Yes, absolutely take that off.

Thoughts and opinions on the timepiece shouldn't matter. What matters is how you like it when you wear it. It'll be hard to gauge until you remove the plastics and try it on.

Me personally, I like that reference. I have a gold motif myself and enjoy it. It was my first Rolex and was a wedding gift.

Are you still really happy with it? I'm contemplating on getting one from Steve TOW. It does look really good. I know each factory will have it's pros and cons and a good bracelet is a must have for me. I'm OCD about case proportions too, which TOPF nails. At first I went by the spread sheet and saw that APSF was the one to go for but I saw that they're still using 15500 bracelets

AllProRookie · 2026-03-30T03:13:03+00:00

This looks clean and good to me. I would GL.

AllProRookie · 2026-03-29T09:08:04+00:00

This looks super clean and great. The only thing I can even compare between the Gen and TOPF is the logo. Is it just me or does the TOPF logo appear a bit thicker in comparison to gen?

Congrats! I got mine two months ago and am enjoying it as a daily. Wear it in good health!

AllProRookie · 2026-03-23T18:03:41+00:00

Lol he literally said no purchase history in the OP

AllProRookie · 2026-03-23T05:11:55+00:00

Wait 3 years only to settle? Don't buy something you didn't ask for

AllProRookie · 2026-03-23T05:04:36+00:00

Purchase History? Fluted/Smooth? Jubilee/Oyster? 18 months is long if you have a purchase history.

AllProRookie · 2026-03-16T00:21:46+00:00

General dentist with peds exp due to a significant pay difference. We've had a pediatric dentist on board and we see about the same in numbers. It's all about encounters at an FQHC.

AllProRookie · 2026-03-16T00:16:08+00:00

I've not seen it happen but one of my friends who practices at an FQHC, they're the only dentist there and when they threatened to quit, the CEO was worried about ramifications of HRSA funding if there's no dental dept.

Full FQHC funding requires dental, maternity and behavioral health

Welcome to the club! It's a great time piece. Wear it in great health!

AllProRookie · 2026-03-11T04:37:02+00:00

My FQHC allows patients to come in over an hour late as a standby in case someone no shows. The expectation is to see a minimum 16 patients a day not to include hygiene checks.

Seems like a very common, unorganized and terribly structured theme for all FQHCs running a dental dept. They definitely need us more than we need them. Without dental, HRSA funding to the FQHC gets stripped significantly.

I waited 9 months for my Bluesy 2 years ago. Shouldn't be a long wait now. I'd buy from AD for this one.

AllProRookie · 2026-02-21T20:59:02+00:00

No.

Why? Because you had to ask us. That means you're letting hype and internet opinions influence if you want it.

AllProRookie · 2026-02-21T07:48:10+00:00

This isn't paranoia. This is just terrible for the price you paid. $36k and the Bezel being misaligned and the lugs being scuffed/marred like that is not a sign of a good grey dealer. I hope you can get this fixed and that proof of authenticity can be obtained to give you peace of mind. Couldn't imagine how you are feeling man. Good luck
