Am I being too picky?

Recommended Posts

I can't decide whether the rehault alignment is just too far off-centre on this watch.

I know this pic is mega zoomed in, but I think if I buy it, I'll always notice the rehault and wonder why they couldnt just line the bloody crown symbol up properly. 

Am I being too picky? Could you live with it?

Yes, too picky for my standards.

But they are my standards, not yours :)

Are you using a Macro lens to tell the time?

The rehaut is fine, it's the dial that's slightly off-centre.

Yeah, probably. To me it depends on the rest of the watch. I am awaiting an Explorer II from Reg and from the pics I know it has a slightly misaligned rehaut crown but it also has incorrect handstack and a low beat movt. So it's already flawed and therefore I can live with it because it's not trying to be bang on. And not all gens have perfect alignment either.

Also, I used to have a Pelagos with some misaligned markers and once on the wrist they just weren't noticeable at all. I suspect the rehaut engraving will be even less obvious.

Maybe I am being picky, but I'm going to pass on this one. Shit fucking maker IMO. I'm sticking to ARFs from now on - the best Rolex maker out there bar none.

It's an easy fix really bubs, you just need to open the caseback and just move the dial slightly to align it

So I'm being picky. The thing is, even if I zoom out and get altogether less macro about it, I still see the wonky rehault/dial.

Look:

And then zoom out further:

And finally:

It's just not good enough. I'm sticking with ARF......

In all seriousness, a lesson for the noobs and the picky QC fiends or not? I notice all of you lot passed with flying colours, basically calling me a picky cunt. Which I obviously was being.

No one is going to get close enough to notice unless you’re trying to fuck.

Why else would anyone spend £20k on a watch....

I agree with Piloten.

Too bad there wasn't going to be a solar eclipse, you could do as our genius did and look at it then the rehault would look perfect!

Now that you've seen this, you will never be able to forget it, so you're right pass it, otherwise it'll end up in M2M a week after you've received it !
