Hey Rep Community, Let's Crack the Kakobuy QC Code Together!

We've all stared at those Kakobuy Spreadsheet QC photos, heart racing, wondering if that shiny piece is a win or a batch nightmare. As rep enthusiasts who've collectively QC'd thousands of items, our shared wisdom boils down to this guide. Focused on jewelry, watches, and fashion accessories, we'll break it down step-by-step. No more FOMO approvals—arm yourself with community-vetted tips!

First Things First: Navigating the Kakobuy Spreadsheet

Kakobuy's magic lies in their Google Sheets—request QC after partial payment, and boom, pics drop. Columns usually show: Item pic, angle views, close-ups (macros), scale refs, and seller notes. Pro tip from the forums: Zoom in on desktop browser (Chrome extensions like Super Zoom help). Compare to 1:1 retail pics from official sites or Trusty/T’or sources. Red flags? Blurry pics = walk away; demand reshoot.

• Essential Views: Front/back/side/45° angles, macro on logos/engravings, lightbox shots.
• Community Hack: Screenshot and upload to Discord QC channels for second opinions— we've saved each other tons!

Watches: From Dial Details to Bracelet Blues

Watches are the holy grail—reps can fool retail at 50m. But QC fails on tiny tells. We've all approved a 'perfect' Sub and gotten crystal haze; let's avoid that.

Dial & Bezel Check

• Print quality: Lume plots crisp? Text alignment perfect? Community fave: Submariner hour markers straight, no smudges.
• Bezel engraving: Teeth count, font depth—zoom 300%. Rolex reps shine here; AP rubberband bezels need fade-proof check.

Case & Crown

Rehaut engravings under glass: Match serial? Crown logo engraving sharp? Tap pics for cyclops magnify—distortion means bad AR coating, per repwiki wisdom.

Bracelet & Clasp

• Links: Endlinks flush? Solid backs vs hollow?
• Clasp engravings: Date code right? Our collective cry: Oysterflex cracks early—check for stretch marks.

Bonus: Light test—Swiss movement sweeps smooth? Video QC is gold if offered.

Jewelry: Sparkle vs Plating Pitfalls

Jewelry reps (Cartier Love bracelets, Van Cleef) tempt with low prices, but plating flakes kill the vibe. Community shares: 18K gold-plate claimed? Nah, often 14K flash.

Chains & Pendants

• Links: Uniform, no casting seams? Toggle clasps snug?
• Logos/Stamps: Cartier ball engravings deep? Heart pendants symmetric?

Screws & Stones

Love bracelet screws: Screwdriver test pic? Stones: Pavé diamonds uniform facets, no yellow tint? We've learned—overplated looks pinkish.

Scale shot crucial: Retail thickness match? Cubic zirconia vs moissanite—faceted edges tell.

Fashion Accessories: Belts, Wallets & More

From LV belts to Gucci wallets, accessories are sneaky. We've all gotten thickness errors hiding in plain sight.

Leather & Hardware

• Graining: Real LV mono pebbled? Buckles heavy, engravings crisp?
• Stitching: Even pitch? Hardware plating thick (no brass bleed).

Sunglasses & Bags Charms

Lenses polarized? Ray-Ban logos tilted? Charms: Hardware swing test pic—lightweight = fail.

Community golden rule: Thickness comparison to retail stock pics. Ask for bent views—creasy leather waves bye.

Common Batch Flaws & Approval Checklist

Shared nightmares: GF factory Cartier QC gold—but weak screws. PF for AP, clean dials. Checklist:

• Macros on all logos/stamps ✓
• Scale/weight ref ✓
• No glue residue ✓
• Matches Walks posts ✓
• Seller ate extra QC fee? Negotiate! ✓

Final vibe check: Gut + consensus. We've built trust through forums—approve with mods/bots linking QCs.
