There are three things that give me pause concerning the watch head. One is the pearl looks wrong. Second, the rehaut looks "wokky" and, third, the gasket on the crown tube looks anemic.

Otherwise, I guess it looks good.

Clasp looks off, pearl seems wrong size, the crown looks like it is not centered between the crown guards.
