Just recieved my qc photos, besides the problem with the date wheel alignment on 25 that was discussed, is there anything else to watch out for?

I’m loving this REP and I pulled the trigger on one and this is the second one the TD has sent me after RL’ing the first one due to severely misaligned rehaut. This one seems misaligned as well and the (Rolex) lettering seems thinner on the dial. Also, the 12 position triangle looks misaligned from the Rolex symbol on crown. Looking at all the REPS in this thread this just seems off to me.

There are some EWF pictures in this thread. The take home is that they are good value but the CF has better colour matching on the hands and print and has a better bezel.

Rehaut alignment is so unimportant Tbh. However you should ask for better pictures of the 12 triangle, impossible to tell from that angle
Like I said previously in this thread, Rhodium is very close to my Gen!
The Franken Blue Dial Build is now complete - It’s incredible! I’m very happy with it.
Pics to follow soon!

I just placed an order for a Grey dial YM CF from my TD. I was planning to swap with Deep crystal. And need to look out for date 25 fonts.
Is there anything else I need to upgrade(not swapping with GEN parts)?
The above comparison of clean crystal vs GEN crystal is really good.

Received QC from my TD, it looks like the 12 and 6 indicators are off slightly to the left. Am I crazy?
I had the same issue with a VSF YM42 I got earlier this year.
Want to see the final product. With gen date disc and xtal I would have to think this would be pretty damn close to gen.

Bad date alignment. I had to reject.
Here is my QC photos, seems i have the same issue, perhaps not as bad as yours. Were you able to get a better one?
To my eyes, gen crystal is soooooo worth it for this model - very visually impressive to say the least.

Not sure what you're expecting but there's gen watches with worse date alignment. Yours is almost perfect
