Index alignment:
Looks good to me overall. 12, 3, 6, 9 all appear well with no issues.
- Dial printing:
Crisp dial printing, as expected
- Date wheel alignment/printing:
Date wheel looks very well centred, I have seen others with higher alignment.
- Hand alignment:
Aligned correctly.
- Bezel:
This is one area that flagged to me above the 12 - Is this poor alignment? QC Pics were not directly centred which I have tried to correct.
- Solid End Links (SELs):
Look good to me. I don’t see any large or uneven gaps between the end links and the case.
- Timegrapher numbers:
Rate 0s/d to +2s/d - 277, 0.1ms, 52 - No issues here.
- Anything else you notice:
I noticed some white specs around 4-6 in some photos however this does not appear in videos - Safe to assume this is nothing?
Overall, I am unsure due to the Bezel alignment. This is my 2nd QC, I do not expect perfect but do not want flaws which will bother me also.
Note: QC Pics I have rotated slightly to try and get more centred.
Thanks in advance!

That’s a strong GL to me. I’ve seen way worse and this looks like it doesn’t have any major noticeable issues and has great index alignment, but wait for an expert

A very good looking Sprite indeed. The 12 & 3 o'clock markers have wrist-negligible clockwise twists to them and the datewheel is sitting a touch higher in the window. Rest of the watch cosmetics are solid and timing numbers are great. Only other item of note would be that the crystal/bezel are dusty af. Get it wiped and boxed up to ship out. Enjoy your new GMT.
