First Rep, AP Royal Oak 15500

Thanks in advance, everyone. I’ve probably stared at the photos too long already.

1.⁠Dealer name: The One Watches - Steve

2.⁠Factory name: APSF 4302 (free sprung)

3.⁠Model name (& version number): AP Royal Oak 15500 SS blue

4.⁠Price Paid: $558

5.⁠Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/fBgGSSCL#ciKOz7NmUSrHoVA9HpzBHQ

6.⁠Index alignment: Looks good to me

7.⁠Dial Printing: seems good, within tolerances

8.⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: This is my concern, as the date appears to touch the right border of the date box. But the full number appears, and numbers other than 8 look better on the right side in the video.

9.⁠Hand Alignment: looks good to me

10.⁠Bezel: the screws are not well fitted on the front and seem a bit off in the back, but I’m not bothered by this at life size.

11.⁠Solid End Links (SELs): N/A, I believe

12.⁠Timegrapher numbers: -2s/d, amp 278°, err 0.1ms. All good.

13.⁠Anything else you notice: so my (only) concern has to do with the date being shifted to the right, causing the 8 to look like it might be touching the border of the box. Is this concerning? Thanks for your input!
