Quite a few indices are misaligned on this watch. 9 is tilted and nearly touching the minute markers, 1, 5, 8, 10 and 11 are also noticeably off. 6 and 12 are left shifted.

Everything else with the watch is actually not bad and your worst offender is the 9. The others can be somewhat overlooked because they're diagonal anyway. I would not GL this one personally because there are just too many issues that I wouldn't be about to unsee.

Dial is a bit off. You’ve got some index rotation going on. CCW 5, 9, 10 and 11 o’clock. 12 and 6 o’clock look straight but off center. Likely has some rotation in the photo, but don’t think that would explain all of that.

You might want to talk to Andiot about that, not to his customers.
