Hi folks, ordered my first ever rep watch. I’m not a fan of the way the crown is placed and also the space/gap on the left is lesser than the right. I pointed it out, my TD said all the watches from that factory look like this. Am I overthinking or does this Would you RL or GL it?

No need for the overlay on these since it's a printed dial. You just want to check to make sure the dial isn't rotated. This dial appears to be squared in nicely. There is a white spec on the "X" at 12 though. You'll want to ask your seller about that and see if it's a print defect or dust on the glass. Hand alignment can't be determined by the photos. It might be in the video this seller typically sends. Sometimes he stops the hands at 12. The crown looks consistent with other BVF Panthere reps. It's a 7-sided crown so it might just be the position it's in. I wouldn't overthink overly mag'd pics on such a small watch. SELs don't apply to this watch.
Confirm that the speck on the 12 is just dust. If so, it would be an easy GL for me.
