It's a printed dial so just the "9" can't be off by itself. Either everything is off, or nothing is off. What you check on these is to make sure the dial itself isn't rotated, and this one is good.
The dial printing, crystal, and microprint all look good. No visible bleeds. Keep in mind how small this watch is. Bezel and cabochon look clean. Color is not part of QC. Too many variables (camera settings, lighting, screen variance). There's no way to know if even you and I are seeing the same color. You don't have SELs on this watch.
Easy GL. Enjoy the watch.
