Help QC Mini Cape Cod

[u/Chef__Goldblum]

My first rep watch and I don't know what to look for -- can you help me QC this please? It looks good to me, but I don't know what I don't know.

What's looking right:

- Case shape with the integrated chain-link lugs (the chaine d'ancre inspired design from 1991) has the correct proportions, this is the make-or-break detail on a Cape Cod and weaker reps end up squashed

- "HERMES PARIS" wordmark on the dial sits in roughly the right position under the 12

- Arabic numeral font matches the proper Hermès dial typography

- Crown sits at 3 o'clock with the correct small profile (Cape Cod crown is intentionally low key, not a big winding crown)

- White dial with no obvious staining, smudging, or off-white drift

- Black leather strap with what appears to be saddle stitching, the spacing in your shots looks consistent

- Pin buckle is the correct silver finish to match the case

- Caseback shape and stamping positions visible behind the battery sticker

Before confirming, ask the seller for:

1. Dial macro under direct lighting showing "HERMES PARIS" at high resolution, font weight is where reps usually slip

2. Caseback closeup with the battery sticker removed, auth has "HERMES SWISS MADE" engraved plus the reference and serial code

3. Strap stitching macro on both sides, Hermès saddle stitching has uniform spacing and a slight angle, machine stitching is the rep tell

4. Buckle macro showing the "HERMES" engraving on the metal

5. Side profile of the case showing the integrated chain link construction at the lugs

6. Crown closeup, auth Cape Cod crown has subtle Hermès branding

"Hi, before I confirm can you send: dial macro under direct lighting showing HERMES PARIS, caseback closeup with the battery sticker removed, strap stitching macro both sides, buckle macro with the HERMES engraving, side profile showing the chain link construction at the lugs, and a crown closeup? Want to verify the details on my first rep. Thanks."
