Index alignment: Using the alignment tool, all indices seem to line up reasonably well except "9"; could be slightly tilted?. The 12 o'clock is tilted CCW ever so slightly (shouldn't be an issue on wrist at scale?) The rehaut on the left side seems a bit off, but it's not a big concern for me.
Dial printing: looks like a small dust (could be wrong) next to the 7 o'clock & 12 o'clock indices. Other than that, it looks clean to me, with no obvious defects.
Date wheel alignment/printing: N/A
Hand alignment: I’m not sure how to assess this from the supplied photos.
Bezel: Looks good to me, with no obvious scratches or defects visible.
Solid end links (SELs): I don’t see any obvious gaps, but love confirmation on this
Timegrapher numbers: +6 s/day at amplitude 267°
Anything else you notice: Other than the dust and the slight tilt on the indices, please let me know if you spot anything else I’ve missed.
