Yes i think it got seized in China.
My DHL got seized in HK But I got my next watch (DHL) in 3 days.

I would accept this for sure. Not a single of these reps are 100% faultless. This one has a good logo, reasonably straight hourmarkers a good centered date window, centered printed text. Centered tapissery... Most of the minute markers are actually very crisp. not getting much better than this...

Guys, is it normal for the minute markers on the dial to be so faded? Honestly it looks like half of them are faded and the ones from 12 to 1 are really bad. Is this something that wouldn't be seen by the naked eye?
Would you accept this ?

Yes i would accept it ... besides the markers would look faded away in certain angles only .. or under some lights conditions ... but in the end : they look sharp in person.
I just noticed that with my blue rep.
Go for it

Yes accept it good one you will not see in real life trust me. Because the dial is pretty little compared to a hublot.

JF 15400,the "new" batch.
Happy the faults don't scream out, but since you ask:
Upon close inspection it seems that my minutemarkers are worse, my hourmarkers, especially 1 and 7 o clock, are more crooked. The AP logo is slightly crooked. Tapissery slightly displaced to the right.
Most of these things should be barely visible from a distance, plus I've seen many far worse examples, so I find this acceptable...

That is just the Angel trust me. And the ap Logo is not really crooked because the logo is crooked itself, i saw the same issue on Gens its because the "A" is crooked and the "P" not. I have the same issue on mine. Chris fixxed it but you can only allign one of the two. So when you allign the "A" the "P" looked croocked, when you allign the "P" the "A" look missaligned. Thats the reason why its looked so on your watch (and most of the watches). Its just a middle way. You can not 100? fix that because the logo is fuxxed up by the factory. Check the picture above you will see that "A" is missaligned.

I guess there's truth to that.
But anyway, I think we can't expect the same level of attention to detail as the real thing for a watch which is just under 400 dollars (1/40th of the price of a gen). I mean, for that money we already get incredible value for money. Being picky over two or three minute markers or a crooked hour marker just isn't fair IMHO...

Yep and trust me you will not see that issue in real life. My Logo was heavy crooked and now its "good" when you allign it at "P" the "A" looked terrible at Mine. So maybe a batch thing because at the picture above it looked way better. But yeah who cares. Here is an example on mine:
Crooked:
Fixxed:
So you see now its a way better.
Edit: sorry wrong picture uploaded. But now you can see the problem with the "A" its just bad from the factory. Maybe they fixxed it in one batch because at the picture above it looks alot better but yeah its just a replica and not a 15k watch but I saw the problems on gens too so when you buy a gen they fixxed it for you but at reps you must accept it to a point because it does not get better.

Here:
Its not "perfect" but yeah it does not get better because when you allign the "P" the "A" looked totally bad. When you look at the thread here you will see always the same "A" issue but who cares anyway. In real life noone sees issues like that.

Here is mine QC pic (accepted over a week ago)
As you can see minute markers between 1 and 2 and also 9 and 10 are not perfect but in my opinion they are pretty good in JF v2 when to comes to this issue.
Like I already said all JF 15400 v2 have this issue, you won't find one with perfect minute markers.
If I get bored I will try to refinish them with thinny line stamp to make them sharp and crisp.
