Hi all,

Was looking at my OP in the sun and I noticed a couple lines— does this look like a scratch to you all, or is it just the sunburst nature? There is also another one at 35 but I couldn’t capture it in photo. Thanks!

Short answer no.

I have same on a silver dial. Effect of the sunburst dial.

Btw, that’s a great looking watch!

RupertP · 10 July 2020, 09:05 PM

It's not.

Not sure but that black hair would bug me more!

This comes up from time to time ... I believe there was a thread specific to LVC sunburst dials some time again, citing the same “scratch”. I can’t seem to find that thread.

As I recall it was inconclusive, but some members felt that the “scratch” was unacceptable to them. I can’t recall if any went the route of RSC or warranty claims.

I have seen those sort of marks on sunburst dials before.
Do a search on the forum.

Lol. In seriousness though, I don’t think it is. Sunburst dials have that affect where it may seem like there is but it’s just the way the dial is made.

The black Circle lines look really bad

Checking1234 · 11 July 2020, 04:33 AM

Yes that looks like a scratch

djyolky · 11 July 2020, 04:53 AM

Is that a sticker on your 5k watch? Lol

Can’t spot it ?

Frank McKay · 11 July 2020, 11:11 AM

Looks like a deep scratch.

peterpl · 11 July 2020, 02:34 PM

Unfortunately for you - yes that IS a scratch.

I started a thread about this because I saw way way too many dial imperfections and I personally have had RSC replace numerous dials under warranty for me because of this EXACT same issue

Thanks for this. I guess I’ll figure out if I want to do anything, I might just leave it. Not as noticeable as some of the others, but I do have warranty so will see. Very interesting nonetheless for it to be so common
