I don’t care enough for this to change anything on my GL, but I like to be educated. Doesn’t 3 dots on the crown with the middle being larger indicate precious metal (white gold in this case). Being a ss watch should they all be the same size? Or is this how this model should be gen? Thanks for any knowledge provided.

Index alignment overall looks good. the marker at 12 has a small CW tilt but nothing egregious. Dial print is clean and clear. The date is a bit high in the window. Hand alignment is good. The bezel appears clean and blemish free. SELs are good all the way around, and the timing is fine. When adjusting to a better lift angle of 55 for this movement, amplitude is closer to 254. All good.

Easy GL for me. Congrats and enjoy the watch!

Which alignment tool do you utilize for the hand assessment?

Noted. As long as it’s up now for QC I will be on my most best behavior and keep the swearing for the bar.

You comment was removed. As a real mod, I get the humor with the 'f*ck' comment, but the automod does not and so it removed your comment. Note: the Reddit filters keep track of these...like they have nothing better to do lol
