I must admit that after reading this thread, I got out my trusty magnifying glass with the high magnification bubble. With my old (62 years) eyes, I couldn't tell, there seemed to be but it was only when the light caught it in a certain way. I was left unsure, looking with my naked eye from close, it looks perfect. I did go and blow up a photo I had taken and took a screen shot. I will say the hour and minute hands are perfect. Those that are worried, I would say, buy the watch, it's fabulous, you won't see the imperfections.
The quality is well above my threshold of complaint.
My photo isn't the best, but it gives an idea.
