It does look like the top of the marker is tilted to the left. Does it look like this in your other QC pics?
I'm waiting for QC pics for one of these. It's good to see other people's concerns with their QC pics. Helps me to know what to look out for.

Yeah it does look tilted slightly towards the left. I wouldn’t take. This rep is so good ootb so no point getting one that requires you to make amendments to it, be it yourself or a professional. They can do better. Don’t settle for an error that rarely happens with their watches man.
Unless you intend to swap out the dial for a gen.

Guys...Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is the 6 marker not straight and tilted to the left? Thanks for the feedback
Take it. the six hour marker is a bit off, but you wont notice this on the wrist. the number 11 on this DW is so perfect aligned, i would definitely. GL this.

Most of the people saying to GL prob. wouldn’t accept it if it was theirs...OP if it bothers you in QC it will probably bother you in real life so go with what you’ll be happy with.

Who knows, they may have updated lugs as well. Even if they didn't, shape of lug is not a deal breaker for me anyways so I don't care. They all look fine to me.

It's more tilted than the Leaning tower of Pisa, Italy. But not in the same charming way.. I would ask for a new one.

I've got my gen hands from misiekped , shoot him a pm.
Here's mine with gen hands, dial, crystal, dw and crown. (hands, dw and crown are all from Mike)
Awesome build, wear in good health!! Have been speaking to Mike about this build (and the Blue vs Rhodium discussions). Also this VSF 3235 movement is an work of art. AFAIK, this is the only rep Rolex movement that can take a balance plug-n-play - I guess the tolerances are that good. Even 4130 needs a slight bit a tweak depending on how good/bad is your base plate build. Regarding your build - I am curious what movement fortification (gen parts) have you done?
Robi01 - Look at the bottom left lugs, looks sharp to me.

I recall reading somewhere that the manual wind will screw up after a while for the 3235, they need to fix this to make it a more reliable movement.

Thanks mate. I haven't done any mod on movement. I don't think it's needed.
For that matter, none of the parts swap is "needed" but we still do it
Changing the autowind (and barrel + ratchet wheel) always contributes to power reserve reliability and longevity. Anyways, enjoy in good health!! The blue dial is lovely.
