Reason to RL?

Hi guys,

So i’m getting a Rolex GMT rootbeer 126711 from ARF.
I have already RL the first QC i got and this is the second one. Thinking if i should RL this because of the “swiss made” portion, it seems really know but everything else kinda seems fine. Is that a good enough reason to RL? I’m afraid the next one I get would be even worse. Based on my first QC the “swiss made” seems fairly low also and on another recent post of the same watch it seems low as well (not sure if lower than mine or same)

Should I RL this or this is already considered good and should GL it? Need some help here 😭

ARF Rolex Rootbeer 126711 QC HELP PLS

Hi guys this is my first time buying a rep so i’m not really good at this. If anyone is able to give any input it would be much appreciated :)

This is the second batch as for the first batch i have RL it.

  1. ⁠Dealer name: ArcStudios
  2. ⁠Factory name: ARF
  3. ⁠Model name (& version number): Rolex GMT Master II Rootbeer 126711
  4. ⁠Price Paid: $492 + $30 shipping
  5. ⁠Album Links: https://www.arcstudio.top/weshop/goods/A201908221821111150168760/I202605250734145472002784
  6. ⁠Index alignment: Tried my best with the alignment tool. Looks fine though not exactly straight but could be just because of the picture orientation.
  7. ⁠Dial Printing: Is it just me or does the "swiss made" look too close to the bottom ? It looks like its touching the bottom. Based on GEN pics i've seen the GEN doesn't seem that close to the bottom. Should i RL because of that ? Feel free to ask for more pics.
  8. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: For the pictures with date "10" it looks too left but from the video in the link it looks kinda okay ? but TD says overall date seems a little to the left.
  9. ⁠Hand Alignment: Looks good.
  10. ⁠Bezel: Looks fine to me
  11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): Seems good.
  12. ⁠Timegrapher numbers: Timegrapher numbers: 0s/d – 301° – 0.0ms
  13. ⁠Anything else you notice: From my newbie naked eye overall it looks good. Only the swiss made part is concerning me.

so far this one looks fine to me, can’t seem to spot anything that is wrong with it. But as mentioned i’m a newbie so any help would be great, thanks !
