Keep us posted.

Man, I wish there was a button to ignore all that picky fools on RWI, who act like they buying a 100k+ gen watches and giving so much headache to TDs, and extending TD timelines for other buyers too.

Shame on them

Would you mind sharing a pic from the side, showing the bracelet hanging? Someone reported/speculated that the bracelet might not drape from the end of the case, but instead extend out from the case more than the PPF.

I think the watch is fine. Better than the PPF V4 IMO. No reason to reject whatsoever. I had a gen 5270/1R and it had a dial with misaligned 12 o clock baguette markers and a slightly misaligned chrono subdial hand. Once you see it you can’t unsee it. I brought it back to my AD, the watch then went to Geneva for six months and came back with a brand new dial and they replaced a Chrono gear that caused the misalignment on the Chrono subdial hand. Moral of the story, this $200,000 GRAND COMPLICATION gen watch went through the most rigorous PATEK PHILIPPE QC process in Geneva before coming to me in the US - and they clearly failed. So to expect these small things from a Chinese factory with the occasional pube and a microscopically misaligned 12 o clock marker on a watch that costs under 500 bucks is totally acceptable. If it bothers you that much, then still ACCEPT the watch in QC and pay a premium to send it to a first class modder to be modded, polished, thinned, have the markers aligned, etc. to your liking.
