Patek Phillippe 5711 hour Mark's misalignment

[rolexlover101]

Hi all
I am interested in getting a 5711 blue dial from PF but keep hearing that they have QC issue with their hour mark alignment. I'm not sure what this means. Can someone please explain? Perhaps a picture of the differences would be great. Thank you

Meaning the 12 o'clock doesn't aligned with the 6 o'clock etc?

meaning the two marker at 12 not aligned with one another...

Ohh...Thanks Keylog74. I ordered one so now I'll keep an eye out for that in the QC pics.

I bought the MKF v5 the dial is pretty good, no issue with the markers. I seen the gen under a loupe and the MKF IMHO is pretty amazing

Yeah I heard the Mk5 is okay. I ordered the PF though and it appears they are notorious for this problem

I had legend realign mine, silenced the rotor and thinned the case. Amazing

Is this acceptable? The "II" mark does look misaligned a bit. ?

 

[rolexlover101]

Keylog74 Do you think the watch above is "Acceptable"? It's a PF...
Thank you for your valuable opinion.

I am so unsure wether the 6 oclock marker is mis aligned on this patek, can someone confirm wether I am hallucinating?
