My first rolex! Asking opinions

Hello everyone! I got my first rolex and am very excited. I just want others opinions on if everything looks correct. Particularly the cyclops. People talk about crooked ones and now im paranoid. Also has small hairlines right out of the box on top right lug. Is it abnormal for a new watch to have a couple hairlines on it? The rest of the watch is pristine. I figure nothing is perfect, should i have said something?

Looks great to me, and besides it’s a bit late now so I would just enjoy it and let RSC polish those and all the other ones you’ll have soon at your first servicing

I’d return and wait another two years for a virgin one.

Oh and I always bring 10x loupe to check inconsistencies.

Pretty impressive for a first Rolex. Did it come with an Oyster or Jubilee bracelet though?
