Icon1 Seiko Prospex LX chapter ring misaligned

Take a look at this video and stop it at 15 seconds. It clearly shows that the minute ring is out of alignment.

For $5500. This is totally unacceptable at $500.

I’d say it’s just a parallax isssue that you’re seeing, but in the event it is actually misaligned, then just bear in mind that these are only pre-production pieces.

And the oblique angle provides a refraction of one edge vs the other edge of the chapter ring by the crystal bending light.

...and you realize, that these are non-working prototypes in that video?
