This day in history: 1957 Sputnik, 1988 I’m born, 2026 Bulova joins the collection.

(US based) I’ve had my new BVF 35mm for a week and it’s amazing. One slight hiccup though is my wrist size. I’m 1-2 links short of comfort. Especially on a hot day.

So, shooting my shot to see if anyone with links to spare would help a fellow rep fan out. Ordering more overseas seems like quite the hassle.

1. Index alignment: Alignment looks solid. The 12 markers are parallel and straight. The 6 marker doesn't show any conspicuous lean.
2. Dial Printing: The logo text is crisp. Here's the biggest piece I'm looking for help from the community on. My eye is seeing the applied "P" in Piguet has a bit of an angled shadow against the Tapisserie squares in some lighting, and looks to be leaning down toward the left vs. straight, but AI and visual lines contradict that so help is appreciated.
3. Date Wheel alignment/printing: The "12" is upright and legible.
4. Hand Alignment: Looks good in photos and sweeps cleanly in the videos.
5. Bezel: Hex screws are seated normally and none are deeply sunken. Nothing that jumps out.
6. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A (Integrated bracelet)
7. Timegrapher numbers: +1 s/d, 268°, 0.2ms. Very strong, healthy numbers.
8. Anything else you notice: This is my very first time doing a high-tier QC, so I'm leaning toward a Green Light (GL) because the timegrapher is great and nothing screams out as flawed. However, since it's my first go, I would love some extra community eyes specifically on the "P" logo reflection and if there is anything else on the fringe I might have missed!
