Guys, I got my qc pics. As you might notice, the DW has a little misalignment at 26/25/24 and 31/30/29. However, everything else is just perfect, so I am going to accept. :)

Wellwellwell, I have been so much focused on the DW that I almost overlooked the crooked 11, i.e. the markers are not parallel. My special thanks therefore go to ianm whose hawk eyes noticed that. Look at this:

if you use a 500x zoom you also notice that the 2 F from Schaffhausen are not identical ......

Lets say you want to buy an audi, theres many dicferent dealers selling the same car at around the same price. One has slightly better customer service but charges you a bit more. The other just takes your money and gives no service or other deals but delivers the car for a low price. Wich dealer would you choose? This applies for rep watches as well :D the watches come from the same factory.

Dial slightly tilted to the left.
It might be the angle of the picture but it's worth double checking with the dealer.

That 6 o'clock marker would always bug me. Slightly left justified DW, but not too bad.

The problem of the marker was only the angle of the pictures. There is anyway the shade on the dial but I think it is very small I think it is acceptable.
