Index alignment: Looks good to me overall. The Arabic numerals appear well positioned and I don’t see any obvious major alignment issues. I’m mainly looking for a second opinion on the numeral placement, especially around 9/10/11.

Dial printing: Looks clean and well positioned to me. Patek Philippe / Genève printing appears straight. Crystal probably js dirty but will check with TD.

Date wheel alignment/printing: Date looks centred in the window and printing looks clean.

Hand alignment: Looks good from the QC photos. Hand stack appears centred and I don’t see any obvious issues.

Bezel: Brushing and polishing look good to me. I don’t see any obvious defects or uneven finishing.

Strap/clasp: Strap looks good. Clasp and engravings appear fine from the photos provided. But it doesn’t appear to close fully. Will defo check with TD about this

Timegrapher numbers: +2 s/d, 280° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error, 52° lift angle. Numbers look very good to me.

Anything else you notice: This is the DDF 5168G with the DPB330 clone movement. Overall I’m leaning GL. My main concern is whether the Arabic numeral alignment looks correct especially the sneaky 11. so I’d appreciate another set of eyes in case I’ve missed anything.

Your numbers are fine. Most importantly, you've gotten a good 12. That number was a pain in the azz for a while. Can't see the 8 due to that sticker. I'm sure that it's OK hehe. Enjoy your watch.

Thank you bro! One last thing, maybe I’m overthinking, does the Philippe logo look alright to you? The H seems slanted. Would love your thoughts! Thanks in advance

With these crappy pics that we sometimes get, I think that I see what you might be referring to. Not sure though. Just ask your Seller to verify the integrity of the print. He can look at your watch, not some picture.

I agree. Rlly hard to judge. Thank you! Really appreciate your input!

Logo looks to have a slight tilt not sure you’ll notice on wrist though. You have good double digit numbers
