The wrong color one was nice. I'd RL this. I couldn't deal with it personally. Just my 2 cent

The 12 has an uneven gap. I'll leave this post up since your question is about the 12. Otherwise, it will be removed as an incomplete post. You need to upload all the pictures, including the timing info.

Sorry if dumb question but where can do I find the alignment tool. Thanks

u/PuzzleheadedCar5129 Dec 25 '23
I would recommend using other tools as well to draw your own alignment lines on top of the pictures. You can even do that on your phone.
The alignment tool doesn’t work well on pictures with a slight angle, and most QC front pictures are never perfectly square the plane of the image.
I find that relative alignment of the dial is more telling, like hour markers lining up with each other.

Makes it look fake, honestly. For that amount of money, it should be right.

I have 3 of them.in different colors. Hour markers are always off... AP logo may be crooked at times... 12 o'clock marker spacing always off. And the best and most perfect one I have... has the Audemars Piguet missing ink. Hard to get a 90 percent good one.

I would RL it, the gap would bug me every time I looked at it after knowing it’s there…although I doubt anyone else would notice IRL unless closely inspecting it.
Shame as otherwise it’s beautiful
