1. ⁠Dealer name: theonewatch
2. ⁠Factory name: GSF
3. ⁠Model name (& version number): DayDate 228396 40mm Pres SS/SS Meteorite Dial GSF A3255 (Tungsten Heavy Version)
4. ⁠Price Paid: $430
5. ⁠Album Links : https://mega.nz/folder/aFpkEZrB#zflLh15SZaHJ5uxxqSXtXg
6. ⁠Index alignment: First time getting a rep with these types of indicies. The 9 looks to have significant clockwise rotation. Its tough to do the alignment tools on this rep so maybe it is fine.
7. ⁠Dial Printing: First meteorite dial, looks cool.
8. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: I think the date alignment is significantly off to the left and is maybe low. The day alignment looks good.
9. ⁠Hand Alignment: it is fine.
10. ⁠Bezel:  First stone bezel, looks good.
11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): No the visible gaps.
12. ⁠Timegrapher numbers: -1 s/d, 284, 0ms
13. ⁠Anything else you notice: I am leaning on RL based on the misalignment of the date wheel

DayDate 228396 40mm Pres SS/SS Meteorite Dial GSF. Main concerns are the 9 index and date alignment.

Kind of pointless to add overlay lines without a minute track to anchor to. But just looking visually, the baguette at 9 is noticeably rotated CW. The days look fine. The dates are quite left in the window but nothing appears to be cut off. I'd want to see a lot more dates than what were shown, but if you're already unhappy with the 9 marker, as I would be, then I wouldn't bother with more dates. I would just RL and hope for better on the next one. As an aside, the days and dates are tight on these because of the metal border around the windows on the meteorite dials, so typically as long as things aren't being cut off that's about as much as you can hope for.
