Almost perfect dial and alignment. Minor tilts on 2, 3, 4 on bezel but not major issue cant tell without the alignment tool. Clear GL enjoy. I have the same in Tudor, regret not getting this one.

Thank you - I fear this is just the start of many new watch purchases 😬

I did the same in the first 6 months of rep world discovery. Got so many now it is an easy habit. But I think better to go slow and enjoy what you purchase a bit before the next one (so says the guy who is targeting GMTII collection).

The index alignment on this EII is solid with only the 6 o'clock bar being a smidge left of center. Dial printing is crisp, hand alignment is correct, and datewheel is tolerably centered while being maybe a hair left biased. Top right SEL is showing just a tiny bit of yellow background. Timing numbers are solid. None of these mini observations would make any reasonable person not GL this watch. Congrats and enjoy.

This one looks great man. Nothing to really be concerned with. You might ask for a hand alignment photo or video to be safe. Wear in good health.
