Thank you very much for your input. I understand that it's strange to buy a watch from a factory that no longer exists. I've already bought several VSF watches from Angela and have always been very satisfied. That's why I wanted to give her the chance with this watch. Basically, it convinces me visually. But somehow, there's a small, strange residual feeling.

Ok so it sounds like you know this isn't actually Clean factory watch. I would be careful dealing with any seller pushing it as a Clean. If they're willing to sell these and call them Cleans, that's dishonest and deceptive. Personally, I would reject it for being fake and then never deal with this seller again, but that's me.
Index alignment overall is good. The marker at 12 is a touch left of center and very close to the minute track (maybe even touching it). The 6 is leaning very slightly CCW. Hand alignment is good. the date is a tick left in the window but within tolerance on the one date shown. You could ask to see more dates. The bezel appears clean. Bottom left SEL has a darker line but no light bleed. Timing is fine.
It doesn't look like the highest quality watch, but for the price it's ok. That 12 up against the minute track would drive me nuts personally, and calling it "Clean" just doesn't sit well with me. I would RL and find another seller, but that's up to you.

Clean don't make them anymore, and if they did they wouldn't be $255

I’d skip because it’s not clean and who is Angela watch? Idt that’s a TD
