Isn't Rolex usually a positive impression?

Isn't Rolex usually a positive impression on the bracelet. I was looking at this watch and it looks like it's a negative impression. I think the negative impression usually displays Rolex backwards, not forwards:

I kind of like this watch, but the case looks a little too good to be true.

I think that’s a positive (raised) impression in the first link photos, and the light is coming from the left. Compare with the raised ribs, and see the marks in the “valley” above the upper rib, where buffing couldn’t reach.

It looks raised (positive) for sure. Maybe your eyes are playing tricks on you.

What does bother me is that the hands have a more tan patina on them compared to the more yellow patina of the markers. That would drive me crazy.

Look where the lighting is coming from and you'll see the logo matches the reinforcement ribs. It's embossed and correct.

Embossed = raised
Debossed = relieved
