Yes the alignment bis usually not perfect. It was like with with mine but on the wrist it's invisible. So it depends how bad yours is

Glad you don't notice much Tobel . I saw a recent post, trying to find it, where it was comparing the pff white dial 5711 from two different TD's a month apart. And the more recent one showing aligned markers, more clear font in date wheel, etc.. So was thinking, maybe the misaligned 12's isn't common. Here are a couple qc photos I was provided, which I think makes it tough to tell. To me..looks like the 12' aren't alligned and maybe cockeyed too. Some others have mentioned something about the 9' marker...but not sure what that issue is.

the 9 it quite good, the 12 is what you should concern but can hardly see and care in real life so don't worry much, here is mine quite perfect I think
P/S: How about date wheel, is it center?

Look at the bezels and the crown, it's gen Vs rep
Now they probably purchased a faulty dial which would have been cheaper but still allow them to study and replicate it, which explains your dot

Yes it's way out, but don't be surprised. We all tend to think gen watches will have perfect QC because of the eye watering prices, but I think we need to get our heads around the fact that they are also assembled by humans. I remember I met a serious and extremely wealthy Patek collector over 10 yrs ago; he brought out 3-4 watch boxes containing 10 Pateks each. He showed us a particular one where the a "5" was in place of the "4" marker, or something like that. I cannot remember the exact details and I didn't know enough about Pateks then, but it was an obvious flaw.
There's also the infamous Air King with a "9" in place of the "3" marker www.gq.com/story/unusual-rolex-air-king-value

There's a new blue V2 that looks super close to gen. Check the other thread PPF blue v2
Hey guys super new here but is it just me or does it seem like the PPF has slightly smaller proportions than GEN (except for the thickness) besides that the bezel seems to be just a tad larger than GEN is that just the angle?
