First thing I want to state - I am NOT asking for a opinion on these pictures for QC purposes. Just if they appear to be the same watch, or two watches of the same model with the same problems. Specifically the 6 and 9 oclock markers are misaligned.

Those do not look like the same watch to me. Both 6 and 9 markers are clearly crooked on the left one. On the right one the 9 marker is less crooked and the 6 marker is not appreciably crooked at all. Compare the closest short marker edge to the adjacent minute tic and look for symmetry of the perpendicular positioning. Also hold the phone neatly flat and view the markers like you were using one as a runway to land on. Easy to see crookedness in a marker that way.

When it comes to spotting flaws in rep Rolex's and Tudor's you are like a gynecologist looking for flaws in black holes.

The 3 marker is slightly crooked on the left one also and it's straight on the right one.
