Edit : ^ Beat me to it
Is it just me or is the minute hand slightly too long?
Either way this is a damn good release... 3235 clone, the bezel color looks 100% correct, no gaps on sides of SEL but I cant tell how good the recessing is from the pics. Absolutely insane that VSF can put out a release this good in 3 months

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the tube and crown on this watch are way off center right. Hard to imagine the stem even working in the movement with this much offset.

The minute hand is longer and the hour hand orb is larger in diameter on the 126610

I've rescinded a green light before upon discovering something significant I hadn't caught. I would ask for another dead straight on pic to rule put any possible angle off influence. But the extra gap to the left side of the crown is visible is almost all of the pics and in the video.

I’d ask for better pics but I don’t see the same issue other than perspective giving that appearance.

Not entirely sure what you mean, the picture is taken from a slight of angle. If you take that into consideration, it’s probably bang in the centre.

Length is exactly like GEN.
Your watch, mate, but I reckon take KJ2020's advice and ask the TD for some confirmation photos. Once you get the watch, it's a much bigger headache to deal/live with.

Can you expand? Surely if the tube and crown aren’t functional then surely changing the date wouldn’t happen?

Even at a more than a slight angle, the perspective wouldn't account for that much of a gap. You can see a noticeably larger gap on the left side of the crown in almost all of the QC pics.
I'm not referring to the functioning of the stem and movement, purely the question mark over the positioning, which can easily be confirmed by a photo taken square on. The member who suggested this is not one to overreact. It's possible the angle of the photo is all there is at play here, but if it's easy enough to confirm?...

My mistake. The other member suggested it not engaging which I couldn’t quite comprehend. I will certainly ask for a square on picture.

interesting observation though, i wouldn't have figured that out even in my dream man!! learning a lot here in the forum from others expertise.
