Misaligned bezel?

Everything looks fine, truly. The point of all of this is that, you are in for a long(or short) unpleasant time with this hobby if THAT watch gives you the heebee jeebees. There is usually something wrong with just about every watch, it only matters if it matters to you. Learn to not care so much, the hobby is much more fun that way. And you can always MOD whatever you want. Rejecting that over the bezel alighlnment, of which you cannot accurately tell from the picture alone, would be silly.
In fact rejecting almost any watch would be silly since in over 10 years and many, many watches I've never rejected one or rather I have never seen a reason to reject one in QC pics fully knowing these are replicas. If youre using using a TD they're typically not going to bring you dog shit.

lol 'PTSD'! That made me chuckle!
When you receive the watch, there is actually a little bit of play in the bezel on these usually. Because of all the grease the factory uses, the bezel doesn't click very nicely like gen - a common 'fault' in the rep. Which is a nice little bonus in a way because you can kind of rock the bezel to be in the perfect spot to line everything up. I hope that makes sense. Because it doesn't rely on a place to click into place, you just move it straight. Job done.

if that makes you feel better, take a sample of 10 gens of the same model on Chrono24. "QC" them and you will find thingsThank you for this I appreciate it.
I shall try and learn to let the small things go
Didn’t know/realise that but thanks for the tip.
And yeah when things are clearly wonky/crooked it’s all my eyes can see now when I look at that last two which is annoying. I don’t want it to be perfect just straight lol

@Helpbeinganoob It's gonna be gorgeous! I'm excited for you to feel the quality if you're new to this!
Thank you mate. I’m super excited. I’m overly impressed with my CF no date sub the quality for the price is outstanding so would t expect less from clean on this new version!
From my experience with handling several genuine pieces, every single watch has something wrong with it. My biggest annoyance is when the minute hand doesn't sync up exactly with the hour hand, which happens more often than it should in my opinion. Your bezel looks within tolerance of even gen to me.
I will only say that GEN are also out of the factory with a misaligned bezel/rehaut !

You are buying a rep, and no rep is 100% gen, no matter what you want to believe. Otherwise, the rep should sell at the gen price. Nothing wrong with the watch. Wear it happily. If you are still unhappy, go down the franken route. Get a gen bezel, gen crystal, etc.... You are blessed to be a high earner so that route is available. I would suggest getting a gen, but paying inflated prices from the grey market is just not me.
