WTB - Sub, YM, or Explorer II
Have a couple of watches on order from TDs but would like to grab one sooner if possible. Ideally VSF / ARF (or similar) superclones. Looking for something I can pick up while in SIN May 18 - 20

Index alignment: Overall alignment looks good, but the 9 marker does appear slightly tilted, with the right side sitting a touch lower. 12, 3, and 6 look good. Rehaut alignment appears acceptable. Main concern is the 9 index.
Dial Printing: Dial printing looks clean and crisp. Text appears sharp with no obvious bleeding or spacing issues.
Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A, no-date model.
Hand Alignment: Hands appear properly aligned and centered. No obvious issues from the available photos.
Bezel: Bezel alignment looks good. Pip at 12 appears centered and bezel engravings look clean.
Solid End Links (SELs): SELs look generally tight from the visible angles. No major gaps stand out.
Timegrapher numbers: +8s/day, 245° amplitude, 0.0ms beat error, 52° lift angle, 28800 bph. Beat error seems excellent, rate is acceptable, amplitude is a little on the lower side but still within acceptable range depending on winding/testing position.
Anything else you notice: Main thing I notice is the possible tilt on the 9 marker. Everything else looks solid to me. Would appreciate second opinions on whether the 9 index is enough to RL or if this is within normal VSF tolerance.
