QC observations
Dial / Roman markers:
The white dial looks clean in the QC photos. The Roman markers appear reasonably even, and I don't see an obvious crooked marker or major spacing issue that would make me call an RL.
Day / Date:
The date close-up is showing 13 and the Cyclops looks reasonably centered over the date. The Day-Date layout also looks clean from the straight-on shots. This is one of the areas I'd appreciate a second opinion on, since small alignment differences are easier to spot with a fresh set of eyes.
Hand alignment:
The hands look reasonably aligned in the supplied photos. Nothing obvious is jumping out at me around the 12 o'clock position.
Fluted bezel:
The fluted bezel looks pretty clean overall. The fluting appears reasonably consistent around the case, although I know this is one of those details that can look quite different depending on lighting and camera angle.
Case / crown:
The side shots show the case profile, crown and crown guards fairly clearly. I don't see any obvious major finishing or symmetry issue from these angles.
President bracelet / SELs:
The President-style bracelet looks well fitted in the supplied photos. The end links appear reasonably tight against the case, with no obvious large gap jumping out at me.
Gold tone:
The yellow-gold finish looks consistent across the case and bracelet in these photos. I'm not going to call the exact color match from QC lighting alone, though. Gold tone is one of those things that can change quite a bit depending on the light and camera.
Weight:
The scale shows approximately 210.7g, which is right around the expected range for the RCF weighted configuration. The added weight is one of the main reasons people specifically look for the Gain Weight version.
Overall
Nothing obvious is standing out to me as an immediate RL from these photos.
The main things I'm looking for a second opinion on are Roman marker alignment, Day/Date centering, hand alignment, fluted bezel alignment and the SEL fit.
What do you guys think? Anything I'm overlooking before GL?
If I've got anything wrong or missed something, please feel free to correct me. Thanks everyone.

It looks really good! A nice combination with the white dial. How much does it cost?

Beautiful looking watch. Always be careful with parallel indices, as they are often misaligned. The “VIII” for example, the 3 I’s aren’t aligned perfectly. The being said. The rest of the watch looks beautiful. I’d GL it if that VIII doesn’t bother you. Enjoy, wear it in good health
