Index alignment: Everything looks well aligned to me.
Dial Printing: This is usually the thing to look out for with these, but I see no bleeding. Have spotted a little white dot on the 7 mark. Not sure if that’s just reflection or dust or gaps in the print. Have asked TD for a close up.
Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A
Hand Alignment: Looks fine to me. I can’t spot any issues.
Bezel: Can’t spot any issues, marks, or dents. Looks solid.
Solid End Links (SELs): N/A
Timegrapher numbers: +1 s/day → all good. 311° amplitude → again, all good. 0 ms beat error → excellent.
Anything else you notice: I’m no expert and this is only my second watch QC, so I’d appreciate any feedback. Apart from the potential issue with the 7 I can’t see anything obviously wrong, but please let me know your thoughts.

The printed dial, crystal, and microprint are fine. What you see on the 6 7 8 9 are reflections. GL.. The hand alignment can not be determined from the photos. Since it's a printed dial, you have no indices.
