First purchase with Andiot Tudor Black Pelagos ZF 1:1 Best Edition On Titanium Bracelet A2824 V5

[watchwhatch]

Ordered my first rep with Elliot (Andiot) contacted him on whatsapp 25/10 he responded immediately and asked me to take a loot at his website and place order from there. I initially went with the new rep pelagos 39mm and made full payment on same day via wise inculding shipping to UK. He confirmed the payment receipt immediately got the order confirmation email.

But, after some research on this forum and reddit I saw people complaining about yellow hands in the newly released 39mm version so I immediatley contacted Elliot on Whatsapp (same day) and asked him to change my order to 42mm pelgos from ZF, he was happy to change the model for me.

I was told QC would take a week so waiting game starts

Received QC pictures today: https://imgur.com/a/tudor-pelagos-42mm-zf-andiot-qc-06-11-24-1Nf7jZK
Initial observations: 1. I'm concerned with the date wheel alignment that is slighlty to left partially hiding two digit numbers.
2. 4 and 5 o clock index markers are slightly to left.
3. The bezel doesn't align with 12 o clock marker.

Anything else obvious i'm missing here?
What do experts suggest this is my first rep, any advice is appreciated.

QC pictures are for you. Not for everyone to chime in their 2 cents.

How did you get on?
I’ve read a lot about the XF version though to my eyes the ZF has the more accurate bezel digits and I’m leaning in this direction too.

I guess it is a bit of gamble, I have heard the XF does the best version of Pelagos 42mm and I did regret ordering from ZF.

The index markers are bit wonky on the watch I have received (a common problem with this particular model).
