Factory intelligence
QF
Limitations
- This is free factory intelligence, not authentication, certification, or a guarantee of what a seller will deliver.
- Canonical identity is factual identity only. It is not a quality ranking.
- FactoryCoverage is research/coverage metadata. It is not a quality ranking.
- Community ranking is dated guide evidence, not ground truth.
- Historical factory information and historical ranking rows are history. They are not current recommendations.
- Comparison does not inspect a specimen and does not establish factory origin of a listing.
- NWBIG and Super Rep labels are source-guide cell annotations for an exact ranked watch or configuration. They are not a factory-wide quality score and are omitted when the 2026-05-29 workbook fill is not available for that ranked cell.

Identity, aliases, and notes
Identity
Limitations
- Identity research cutoff 2026-08-23.
- Ranking source 2026-05-29.
- Technical release 2026-08-30.
- QF remains an active factory identity. RepTime in-hand reports treat Oyster Perpetual 36 reference 126000 as current QF production with a marketed JH3230 free-sprung claim. That wording is a source claim, not architecture proof. One QC sample showed a possible short minute hand. Keep that as a medium-confidence version concern, not a high-confidence permanent defect. QF stays an alternative, not a VSF replacement and not a factory rank.
- Treat current QF 126000 listings as an observed market label. No current winner is recorded.

Known caveats
Minute hand length
126000 (Celebration)Limitations
- Whether later pieces share the same hand length, or how the hands will look after delivery.
On QF Oyster Perpetual 36 126000, compare minute-hand length to the minute track in even light. One QC sample showed a possible short minute hand. That stays a medium-confidence version concern, not a compiled reject.
Movement label
126000 (Celebration)Limitations
- Whether the installed movement matches a true free-sprung architecture, or how it will keep time after delivery.
On QF 126000, treat JH3230 or free-sprung wording as a marketed claim. Installed architecture is not established from the cited in-hand reports.
Community ranking appearances
Dated community-guide evidence for scoped watches. Placement is not a factory-wide quality score. Source-guide labels stay on the exact ranked appearance.
