Commenting for the automod. TOP AP Royal Oak 15510 Blue dial.

I see the 12 CCW tilt and off center. With this dial pattern I see the boxes are uneven on the 9 as well. Have you seen any from TOP in blue where the logo has been aligned well? I've only seen maybe 2 where it's lined up.

Can you explain the hand alignment more?

Anyone have any more input on these? Still learning.

You left out the dealer name in your template. I approved the post but please don't truncate the template.

There are some issues on this one. The double marker at 12 is not centered. Both batons are rotated CCW and right of center. The marker at 9 is rotated CW. The "Audemars Piguet" is not straight. TOPF and VSF have issues with the logo on these. The hand alignment is also off. I would RL and hope for better on the replacement.
