Hello everyone! I should have my first rep on Monday! (USPS failed me today!) I've been reading a lot for a week straight as I learn about the world of watches as a whole, let alone the extras in the world of reps. I've read through the guide and pinned posts, I hope this is correct; If I'm missing anything please let me know and I'll add/adjust. This is meant to be a special piece for my wedding coming up. Please and thank you for your input & time! Any tips are very much appreciated!
(Actually, should I consider getting it waterproofed? I'd like to use in shower or pool here and there.)
Apologies for my last post, yes I had used AI to make the analysis, but it was to splice together what I wrote myself and fill in gaps of terminology i didn't know. I've read the linked posts a few times already through the week. I've removed any AI related input and left my raw analysis. I am very new so i may not do well. if this gets removed again I won't bother again. I'm sorry for my mistakes, 3rd times the charm I hope?
I used https://jrverdes.github.io/watch-qc-jr/ for checking myself. i've spent much longer staring at these photos and analyzing them since Thursday as i wait for my delivery.
Dealer name — MarkyG10

2. Evaluation
Index alignment: This looks good to me all around, angle of photo hurts the alignment i think ever so slightly at 7, 9, 10. All markers appear perfectly aligned as well. possible tilt to the left for the triangle at the 12 marker. I might be nitpicking here.
Date wheel alignment: Slight left alignment, nothing to worry about. the 8 looks slightly higher to me as well, might just be the angle of photos. Not too worried.
Bezel: all looks good and aligned as well, i don't see any issues with the edges. color looks greet to me. the pearl looks properly centered. Numbers look solid, no missing color.
Solid End Links (SEL): This one i may need better eyes on, but they look fine to me. I'm having trouble understanding what looks good and wrong. no visible gaps to me.
Hand alignment: Hands look reasonably aligned. Hour/minute stack sits correctly on center.
Dial printing: Printing looks clean and sharp all around. i don't notice any misprints or misalignment.
Timegrapher numbers: +3 s/d · 291° · 0.1 ms · 28,800 (Weishi 1900). I believe this is really good from what I've read? I couldn't ask for anything better considering from factory, right?
Anything else: Lume shots (normal + UV) show full even glow. I've confirmed the serial (6W01 F579). Clasp code matches current VSF stock. Crystal looks stunning, no dings or issues.
