Now I know this is bordering on "sad" but I was recently on holiday sunbathing and lovingly admiring my new SS/WG Turnograph when horror of horrors.....I noticed that the cyclops lens wasn't QUITE straight. (I now pause while I envisage all TRF members studiously studying said lens!) If I look at the watch head on and gently rotate my arm away from body...the bottom horizontal of the cyclops doesn't quite line up with the horizontal of the date window! My question is...should I take it back to my AD....or will they think that they have come accross someone that re-defines the word "obsessive"! ??

If it bothers you take it back.
Now you know about - it will bug you like hell, till you do something about it.

i'd have it fixed

Can you post a picture so we can see it?

If it's something you can't live with, get it fixed. Spending all that money on a watch, you want it as perfect as possible....I think we all here on TRF understand that.

I haven't got the hang of sending photos....everytime I click on attachment....it comes up with "error on page"...help anyone?

same here...
i have the 16610 and my cyclop doesn't align either.

Would this mean that the cyclop is actually glued by hand at the factory?

Do what makes you happy. After all, you didn't spend a lot of money for a flawed piece.
