Shoddy work. If I saw that watch on someone's wrist, not knowing better, I might think it a fake.

I was about to post something in favor of Rolex in this thread, but I think dsio made a point.
Its actually even more than that, the dial is printed with two colours, orange and black, each is stamped separately rather than all at once. The orange is lined up perfectly, from the chapter ring to the word Milgauss.

The black however is completely wrong, not only is the wording Rolex Oyster Perpetual wrong, but the words "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" are also offset the same amount, and even the "SWISS MADE" at the bottom of the dial is shifted to the left.
