Look...it's one thing to have a misaligned letter that gets printed on every dial of a lot of 5k, but if a letter gets scratched on one dial they should toss it out in QC. The exceptional TD's know this and make allowances for the benefit of the buyer and the TD's continued business on the forum...THAT's why they're 'trusted dealers'.
Toss it out? Do you think that they will just toss out a dial (after having put in labour and resources) because it has a tiny scractch on it?
If you don't buy it, somebody else will, even at a "reduced" price.
We are not talking about a giant Rolex company here that makes 900%+ and therefore HAS to make sure everything is perfect in order to justify and keep their reputation. These guys have to sell anything they have.
OP If the H bothers you THAT much, ask for another one, you might find another tiny flaw, or, if you're unlucky a bigger one... and when you finally accept the QC picture and receive the watch... you might see a flaw you hadn't initially noticed and it might bug you so much you'll wish you'd accepted the first one!
In a way it's good that we are anal about things like this, as it might force the factory to up standards. But we've got to be realistic about what we are dealing with here.
This is an underground game, and we need to adjust expectations accordingly!
It's up to you, a bit of a gamble really, but if I were in your shoes I'd accept it.
That H is really NOT going to make the watch look less expensive or amazing on your wrist.
Just my opinion though.
Good luck!
