I just received my QC pictures from Li.
I think the date looks kinda off centered, or is that still tolerable?

You think the date is on centre and then include pictures that aren't the date? Caseback and bracelet? Why are these here?
There are 3 pictures of dates that look perfect (maybe a little down, but you won't get better), and 4 pictures of completely unrelated pictures. (ie, without the date even shown)

Personally, I think you're looking for a general QC advice. Which is against the rules.

The date is fine.

Sorry, removed the unrelated pictures.

Thanks for the opinion, then I'll accept it.

Date wheel isn't static so it's bound to have some play. It's hard to get good pictures as the angle make it look uncentered. It's the same for my grey 15500 but it's great while I wear ;)

Yes. And even if it's not perfect, I can still adjust it a litte.
The rest looks amazingly good. The Indices, AP Logo, Clasp etc. are spot on. Hope it doesn't take longer than 3 weeks to be delivered.

For the dw, it is very acceptable for a rep. I have seen gen 15500s with less than perfect date alignment too.
Don't be too fastidious about the watch, it will never be mistaken for a gen even if it has a perfect date alignment.

Well, "never" is a bit of overstatement - I would say 98% of the people won't even know what this should be mistaken for, and out of the last 2% 9/10 will indeed mistake it for gen ; )

Lol, yes in that context you are 100% correct.
It’s a good perspective to hold always. :hehehe:

How about on a diver? On mine you can the bottom of the previous date, but only on the 20’s.

Barely visible from straight on, but more visible from an angle:

My diver has the same alignment (slight low) as yours - especially in the 20’
