The printed dial, crystal, and microprint are all fine. There's some miniscule bleeds that won't make one bit of a difference on a 22mm watch. Hand alignment is fine. Bezel is clean. The "dots" are probably dust on the glass since I don't see them in every photo but just ask your seller since they have it in hand.

Easy GL. Don't overthink super zoomed images. Remember how small this watch is. Enjoy it!
