Daytona 116500 Clean Factory V3: Second order. Potentially RL due to off sub-dial printing?

Hi guys,

Second rep purchase in one month, very new to the hobby, eager to learn. Would appreciate any feedback on this Panda sub-dial printing please. First Hulk I got from Steve 10 days ago is great. Many thanks in advance guys.

1. Dealer name: Steve (Theonewatches)
2. Factory name: Clean
3. Model name (&version number): Daytona 116500 SA4130 V3
4. Price paid: $768 not including shipping. Cheaper cause of Christmas discount.
5. Index alignment: overall looks acceptable to me.
6. Dial printing: looks good to me. However, I think that there is an issue with the sub-dial at 3 o'clock. The 10 is too close to the center...on each pic. Looks very off, especially compared to the 20 next to it. Compared to other great Clean v3 reps, did not seem that off. Inconsistency in factory, hit and miss?
7. Date wheel alignment/printing: NA.
8. Hand alignment: looks ok to me.
9. Bezel: looks a bit off to me, not 100% centered.
10. Solid end links: Cannot see much. What I see seems ok. Not really sure how to QC based on pics provided.
11. Timegrapher numbers: I think that it is all good based on the guidelines I read in terms of acceptable ranges.
12. Anything else you noticed: No. Any feedback from experts would be great. Many thanks

Thanks!

Any insights to share please? Some people told me that it is ok. However, I did see several QC of Clean v3 daytona without sub-dial printing issues. Unsure if very obvious in real life.
Cheers

Agree, that the @3 subdial printing is not perfectly centered. Not sure if it would really bother you when seeing it in real life. It's up to you if you can accept it or not.
