Deepsea JC 126660 imperfections

Hi Guys, i have a question, i am the owner of a '22 deepsea 126660 which i bought from a reputable grey dealer. While wearing the Deepsea for a while i noticed some minor imperfections and i am just wondering if this is normal for a Rolex nowadays? They are not huge imperfections and after seeing some of them i also investigated the watch with a 5x juweler loupe, i think i should not have done that because i noticed even more imperfections . Anyway, i still enjoy the watch but i would like to hear some opinions of experienced Rolex users here what to expect and if this is normal. Below are the imperfections i noticed and I also added some pictures.

The imperfections are:

- I find the bezel quite easy to rotate, this causes the dial to sometimes turn by accident. It has also some minor play between clicks.
- The lume on the bezel is not centered with the triangular lume on the dial.
- The white Rolex crown on top of the dial is not centered with the Triangular lume.
- There is some debris on the dial next to the first E of DEEPSEA. This is not visible with the naked eye, only on a zoomed in picture or with 5x loupe.
- There is some debris on the dial between and above the 8 and 0 of the text 128000. This is not visible with the naked eye, only on a zoomed in picture or with 5x loupe.
- The date is not properly aligned top/bottom. There is less white on top than below.

The pictures i made are not perfect pictures but it gives an idea what I mean. I look forward to hear your opinions. Note that i still enjoy the watch, i am just curious of others opinions and experiences.

Pictures:

Picture1 (I put a thin vertical red line through the axis so aligment is visible)
Picture2 (Debris on dial circled in red, rest is dust on glass)
Picture3 (Date window)
