Panerai lettering on clockwork

Hello, I hope that upload the pictures works. Yesterday I got the QC pictures of the Pam111. Looks good, except for the Panerai lettering. The letters A and I in the word Panerai on the clockwork do not quite fit. The "A" is too far to the right and the "I" has slipped too far down.
Is that normal Chinese quality and I'm too strict? Or do you think that it is more feasible? If you say that's acceptable then I'll release it. Thanx

It’s the rear of the watch and it’s a copy of a far more expensive gen

No, I don't have the Pam111. Lucy has not written yet that she sent it. I asked today by email, when the clock will be shipped. Haven't received a reply.
How long does it take normally?

Well, it's the weekend and not only that it's the weekend following a national holiday in China. I would not expect any movement until tomorrow. And then after that, it would depend if you paid for airmail or express shipping.

I'm from Germany. It is sent via triangle. But I think it has not been sent yet. How long does it take with triangle shipping?

I have no idea. But maybe other members from Germany can chime in. It's dependent on the couriers used for the two legs of the trip, one going to the intermediary point, usually the UK, then the courier from there to Germany.

Yesterday I got the tracking number (12 digits). I don't know where to enter to see the stand. Or is that still too early?

I don't think that you are strict. It bothers me even on Gens...
I think that the "fault" began from Panerai itself. They don't give the right attention in the letter square and letters "NER" doesn't have the right amount
of area between that needed to balance the word..

i think that 5 to 7 weeks its common for triangle delivery in EU. I wish you have it sooner, it happens sometimes.

I'm from Germany. It took 3 to 6 weeks in my experience. But I've never ordered watches from Lucy so far, frankly speaking.

That's quote disappointing as it's a glaring flaw (to me). I know that this goes against the grain and I'll be criticized but I would (and will) reject that watch if my QC pictures look like that.

It's a pity, because on this unit the Swan neck, dagger and RS all touch each other (which is commonly not the case), but this being off would bother me less than the lettering.

Swan neck (SN) and Regulator Lever (RL) touch each other on the QC picture, or? You can not really see if the Micrometic Screw (MS) and the RL touch each other. I hope so.

Yes, they do touch - which is a good (accurate) thing.

I just got QC pics for mine where they don't touch at all and I'm not sure what to do.
