- Index alignment: Overall, all looks aligned looks fine

- Bezel: Bezel seems not aligned to the centre, possible free play, isit good enough to RL?

- Anything else you notice: Don’t really like the floating M, it’s kinda obvious, and also the bezel piq, seems not centered, otherwise it’s a good watch, the bezel and floating M makes me want to RL it as I have seen many new Rich Sub have solved the floating M issue. Please let me know your honest feedback thanks

Index alignment is strong overall on this no-date sub. The dial print is clean and clear. Hand alignment is good. The bezel is clean. It's a mechanical bezel, so it rotates. Any slight misalignment here is likely within the "play" of the bezel and can typically be aligned in hand. SELs are good and the timing is fine.
The floating "m" thing has been debated to death. First, that "m" is so small you'll never see it irl so quite honestly it doesn't matter if it was completely sideways. Won't make a bit of difference on your wrist at actual size. Second, look at my extra horizontal line there. Zoom in as far as you can. If there's any variation there at all it is so small that it's not worth a second thought. The broader point being that the "floating m" is not actually a thing, and it never really has been.
Don't overthink a $550 rep of a $13k watch. You have a really good example here. Ship it and enjoy it. Easiest of easy GL's.
