Hi all!

Could I get some help checking this 15400 - Is it just me or is the 12 and 6 marker abit skewed?
Seems to be a small stain near crown as well but that seems to be all I can find. Understand that there will be flaws but alignment and stains out of factory should be a nono for me.


Used these two threads as reference. Particularly the bottom one for alignment checks. Please let me know your thoughts or if its just me being overly picky.

How do you do thoses blue lines? Could help for QCing my next stuff.

To me it's a GL, almost all APs have misaligned markers, you won't notify it at all on your wirst.

The AP logo is a little bit funky tho.

Where I need to be.
Did you seriously draw lines to determine if the markers are 100% aligned, on a $400 rep? Lol. You do realize that even if the markers are perfectly aligned, it still has a ton of flaws right? ;)

I think your markers are fine, but logo needs adjustment. Good news is that be it markers or logo, both can be easily realigned.

Haha yes! As mentioned, understand flaws but a lot of the posts here are also commenting on alignments so think it's rather valid. I appreciate the feedback
