I attached some pictures but my concerns are that the rehaut is not just misaligned but doesn’t seem to fit the full hour markers all the way around — at ~7 it is slightly to left of marker and at 5 it is slightly to off to the right of the marker. The crown at 12 is slightly to the right.
The etched crown at 6 is more like between 5:45-6.
The Rolex engraving on the clasp seems very shallow.
These are just the things I could describe because otherwise I just have this feeling like I’m not holding the real thing. It also fits differently on my wrist than expected, although my other Rolex is an early 2000s yacht master so I know things have changed a lot since then.
Any thoughts appreciated.

bought mine directly from boutique in August 2020...sometimes the rehauts dont always perfectly line up at the 12'oclock position (sorry for blurry picture).
