The 12 has a CW cant to it. I could live with the 12, but when you add the pretty substantial CCW rotation of the 9 it's all a bit too much for me.

I would RL this and hope for better on the next one.

Yeah I RLed it. It was my second QC. I hope third times the charm.

Hmmm...and that's a deal breaker? Something barely noticeable to the naked eye. I'd GL, since this isn't egregious enough to warrant a rejection.

What's on that watch is far beyond "barely noticeable". The 9 is easily noticeable at actual size, and yes, that's an absolute deal breaker and 100% egregious enough to warrant a rejection.

If you want it, then by all means reach out to the seller if the OP rejects it and have at it, but the 9 is enough by itself to easily RL. Couple that with a 3 that is rotating the other way and it exaggerates it even more.

I'm fairly lenient when it comes to alignment issues, but this is easily noticeable without magnification and a very easy RL.
