lume ticks too short
numbers on the 'KM' scale sloppy
numbers on the 1:10 , 1:20 , 1:30 scale sloppy
numbers in the subdials sloppy
tick marks in the subdials sloppy
tuck marks on the seconds scale unevenly spread
2 plane logo not aligned
'Breitling Geneve' font is 'off'

basically everything thats printed on the dial is 'off'
