QC should inspect the ceramic case and bezel for clean edges, verify the Liquidmetal numerals and blue accents, and confirm the GMT and date indications align correctly. Check the crown and helium valve seating, crystal fit, strap stitching, deployant clasp, and side profile from both lugs. The watch is purchased for its coherent black and blue treatment, so those transitions should remain consistent in every view.
Because the case is both broad and tall, side photography is as important as the dial view. It shows whether the ceramic profile, crown guards, helium valve, and strap curvature form a coherent line around the wrist. The blue stitching should support the dial accents rather than appear disconnected. This is a specialist selection for buyers who want the Planet Ocean identity at full scale, not a compact substitute for it.
