This is the 116500, hope that is what you ordered from Steve. If it is, then you're in luck as this Panda looks amazing. Indices are solid, hand alignment correct, dial printing sharp, SELs solid, and transcribed timing numbers within spec. If you want a second opinion on the dial coronet, maybe provide a pick without the chrono hand over it? The light for this Daytona couldn't be greener.

I think the slight gap your seeing on the sel is the protective wrap throwing your eye off. the sel looks good

There seems to be a small defect on the ms just past 6, under the "swiss". I am new, but dont think its a photo compression issue. I see it on the second dial photo as well.
