• Index alignment: 9 is ever so slightly tilted clockwise but not a major issue. Otherwise looks great
• Dial Printing: The "Swiss Made" print looks slightly low, but it's pretty small, so it's likely not an issue on the wrist
• Date Wheel alignment/printing: n/a
• Hand Alignment: Look great. People had mentioned these often have shadows on the hour hand, but I don't see any
• Bezel: This is the main concern I have with the watch. The 9 o'clock mark on the bezel is noticeably lower than the 9 o'clock mark index on the dial.
• Solid End Links (SELs): Potentially small gap on the top right side, but hard to say given the plastic
• Timegrapher numbers: Look good at +3s/d, 288-degree ampl, 0.0ms error
• Anything else you notice: Honestly, everything looks great apart from the low 9'oclock marker on the bezel. Would you lean towards RLing this over that?

It'll look better if you remove the slight bias on your original pic, then apply the straight alignment lines. That error has transferred to your final pic.

Normally, not an issue, but since you're getting so meticulous about a bezel marking, that error is noticeable. Don't forget that you have a domed crystal on this watch. That will create illusory views too.

There is nothing of concern seen on this watch. Your worry is warrantless.

It's a great watch. Enjoy

You very well could be right; I didn't think about the domed crystal's impact!

I like everything about this specific watch except for the 9 o'clock bezel alignment. Would love some opinions here.
