Hi all,

I would like to know if it is abnormal for the 12 o clock side lugs to sit slightly higher than the case as the opposite side is not like that.

thanks

Is the ulna bone under the top end of your watch causing it to happen?

It looks the same when it is off my wrist. Some say the upper part of the case was polished massively to cause that. But comparing the bevels and the distance between the lug holes and the case edges I do not think that is the case.

If it isn't symmetrical or even on both directions, it might happened from polished massively.

If you look at the picture you will see it hasn't been polished massively

Doubt the lugs are over polished so just buy the RG bracelet and hopefully problem solved.

You could also try swapping the strap 180* and see if the plots still sit like that on the bottom lugs. Then its a plot thickness issue and not a lug issue.

Or wearing the watch upside down (not face down)?

Where did you buy the watch? Doesn't sound right to me

From this photo I think the two sides look quite equal. Maybe those plots are just thicker?

Hi, the plots at the 12'o clock could be inverted, have a service centre look at it and suggest them to check if the plots are inverted.
Should be a very quick fix.

Cheers

I inverted it but they still sit higher than the lugs...
