AP 15202ST Dial Question

Hi, All. I recently purchased my first AP from from a forum member, a Royal Oak 15202ST (39mm jumbo). It arrived today, so I spent some time examining it. Owning Rolex, I've become accustomed to looking at perfect dials. Today while admiring the tapisserie dial, I felt that something was off. So, I picked up a 10x triplet and got a better look. This is what I saw. Notice the alignment of the Audemars Piguet text.





It looks like the Audemars Piguet text is crooked. You can see the recessed area for the printing isn't square with the tapisserie.

I've got a few questions.
  1. Is this fairly obvious imperfection something I should expect?
  2. Is this typical of AP?
  3. Should I be concerned about this watch? Does this call its authenticity (in whole or in part) in to question?
  4. I've see some pictures of other 15202STs and noticed that the date wheel font is different. Can anyone confirm that mine is the same or different as theirs?

Thanks for you input.
