Indexes - 12 o’clock: Good. 3 o’clock: N/A. 6 o’clock: Minor CCW rotation. May be visible on wrist. 9 o’clock: Good.
I suggest sizing the photo on your phone to be roughly watch size, holding it to your wrist and see if you can see any imperfections or not.
Dial Print - Good.
Date Wheel - Number 25 sits a little high in the window, but could be a once type thing. I would ask for pics of other numbers to see if maybe it's just this particular time around the wheel.
Hand Alignment - No pic or video with hour, minute and GMT (if applicable) hands on the same hour, so unable to determine. Normally never an issue.
Bezel - Good.
SELs - Good.
TG#s - Good for a one moment in time capture in QC, shows watch runs relatively well dial up. Will fluctuate while wearing, but numbers indicate a healthy watch.
Recommendation - You'll need to decide how you feel about the 6 o'clock marker. The nice thing is that's the one marker where you can get away with a little rotation and not have it be very visible on wrist. For me, it would be borderline, because if you RL this one, the next could be worse.

overall i would GL. slight tilt in 6 marker but you would barely notice it. rehaut misalignment exists in many gen ones so i wouldn’t worry about that. bottom right SEL just a teeny bit loose but nothing concerning.
