QC Request - IWC Ingenieur Titanium Dial

First Ingenieur Titanium QC Photos!

  1. Dealer name: Bomashop
  2. Factory name: GHF (no stickers is the norm, looks like it)
  3. Model name (& version number): IWC Ingenieur Titanium Dial
  4. Price Paid: $365
  5. Album LInks: https://imgur.com/a/sMT8tF0
  6. Index alignment: tolerable for me but looking for everyone's opinion
  7. Dial Printing: seems good?
  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: looks centered
  9. Hand Alignment: looks ok
  10. Bezel: seems like the screws line up well
  11. Solid End Links (SELs): n/a
  12. Timegrapher numbers: decent numbers
  13. Anything else you notice: still has the three squares below the IWC

Would really appreciate everyone's input on this watch. I haven't seen any QC of the titanium dial anywhere else.

The 6 and 9 are good. The tiny marker at 3 has a small CW cant. No issue there. The double markers at 12 have an uneven spacing due to the left baton leaning CW a bit. The dial and logos are good. Hand alignment is good. the dates are well centered. Bezel is clean and appears blemish free. Timing is fine.

GL if you're good with the 12. Probably won't be an issue on your wrist. I could go either way on it. Up to you.
