No, this was the first QC, didn't have to RL any. I got new information through my reddit post that my dealer (Li Li from /r/1688time) is saying this model is trash, all based on the one she has now (mine). This worries me a bit for the feel of the watch, but i'll see when i eventually get it. I'll post a review and wrist shots when i receive it.

The original came in a "jumbo" size. This is the correct size for that

Miyota 9015, they say thickness is 8mm but need someone to confirm with calipers

I have a DWO for the 5402 that would likely fit into a dial for this so long as the spacing is correct, however it doesn't look correct because they made the DW only for the default font for the 9015 movement.
Sigh, yes
. Looks like images of Xing 222 are better for the dial though. Fingers crossed !

I agree. There probably only a few hundred people on the planet who know what a 222 looks like in detail
As a reminder, this is how it's supposed to look like
And this is the OG 1977
And if any of you wants to learn a bit more about the history of this unjustly underrated brand:

Received QC of the grey dial today, but unfortunately the cross stamp looks misaligned. Take a look.

Yeah, I did. I've seen others in here with proper alignment so I don't think I'm nitpicking.

Not nitpicking. Its wildly misaligned and its big enough to be noticeable on wrist.

Seems like a common issue, most of the ones that I’ve seen have a tilted cross
I wonder if it’s part of the case or if it’s stuck on
I guess for a rep manufacturer thinking only of his business it's difficult to grasp the fact that that cross is the most important aesthetic feature of the watch, for him it's just a tick in the box probably. I almost spilled my coffee when I saw the comment here saying "that cross is making the watch asymmetrical". That's the whole point, that's the magic touch, the USP, if you take away the Maltese cross there you might as well buy a PRX.
