Larger and larger photos. My advice, don't look so close and Listen to Padi..

You have a good point. If it was off a bit more, I would address it probably.

In my 14060M, there is an imperfection in the sapphire crystal that is only noticed at a certain light. It's quite substantial being 15-20% dial surface... I don't even notice it anymore. If anything, there isn't another like it.

Are you able to capture that in a photo? I’m having difficulty picturing it.

It's nothing. Tiny tolerances in assembly. It's just random continuous etchings all around the rehaut to deter counterfeiters. They made a mistake by putting a crown in there, so people expect it to be spot-bollock in the middle. If there was no crown it would all just be lettering and the serial number at 6, and no-one would care. It's the same with the crown on the winding crown. Ridiculous. When these were tool watches no-one even looked at stuff like this because the rehaut was just brushed, and the crown on the crown is just like the logo in the middle of the wheels on any car - let's make sure they all line up together and that we stop so that all four are horizontal!
