Icon7 Amusing RØLEX pic.

I snapped this pic of the 116710BLNR and then realised the perfect placement of the round counterweight of the seconds hand over the O in the ROLEX print on the dial. I've never seen such an amusing moment captured like this either intentionally or coincidentally.

The seconds hand is also pretty much perfectly aligned with the 24 hour hand.

That's quite a coincidence.

Out of curiosity, what is your GMT hand set to? Assuming you're in London it's not UTC.

Great pic, incidentally.

You're quite right! The probability of everything working out so nicely together is rare especially with my shaky hands.

It's usually set to Melbourne time but the watch had a long slumber and I didn't get around to resetting it. :-/ Thanks for your appreciation!
