I'm usually very tolerant with misalignments, but to be honest, the 6 marker really does look crooked af. I'm saying this with a disclaimer, since to be 100% sure, you'd have to be a perfect image taken from the front, but again, even without one, it looks pretty darn crooked. If that's not an illusion due to perspectives, I personally would RL this one.

Maybe the experts with more experience than me can chime in?

I wouldn’t accept that. Ask them to send a couple more pics and if it still doesn’t look right, ask for a different one

I'm tolerant of small issues during QC, but that's too much. Ask for a new one.

Had the exact same on my ZFv2...apparently it's extremely common with these.

If you can't get a better replacement, I had my watchsmith re-align the markers for me

After RL'ing this watch and asking for another one, the seller sends message a day later asking if I checked the video, which I replied "yes". A day after that, he says he can change it if I like.

Definitely shifted too far to the left as well. I have a big GL tolerance and thats too much.

Honestly with comparison to the genuine, using the text as a reference, it looks fine. . Both have the right side of the indice lined up with roughly the middle of the c in certified. Here is one of a few references I looked at. Truthfully I think the watch was just on a little bit of an angle in the picture.
