Hi,
It’s just me, or it should be different.
I noticed the misalignment. Between slide rule on 2nd photo is no space at all, but on 3rd photo there is a gap. Also deviation of 12s/d it's not too much?

Perspective causes the difference. Straight on picture is truest.

On first photo, the straight one looks like the dial goes under the slide rule at 11, and there is gap at 7.

It looks like the dial isn't perfectly centered in the case opening. This is usually adjustable to a slight degree by loosening the movement clamps, nudging the dial and movement holder in the needed direction and re-tightening the clamps. Sometimes the length of the stem can prevent the movement from being properly centered though.

The S/D is a tad high big not enough to reject the piece.

Thanks for info/ suggestions. QC Accepted. After receiving the watch i'll give it to my watch wizard to try to align it correctly.
