Calling all Explorer I (36mm) owners...

Recommended Posts

There has been something bugging me since day 1 and it's the hour markers. The markers two different sizes! It looks like they just lumped in some markers from the 39mm into the same bin and built from that.

 

Aside from mine, I've seen another that has the same issue. Have a look...

Give up? The marker at 2, 5 and 8 is loarger than the others. I noticed as soon as I unwrapped the watch from new. Will anyone notice? Probably not, but this bugs me from time to time.

This is where QC pics are for... Was it an expensive version or a cheapie? Hope you will still enjoy the watch!

Maybe its the photo, but I can't tell. The lume doesn't look evenly filled so that may

 

make it look like they are different sizes? Still a really nice watch!

I checked the QC. It's there but need to triple take to see it. In person it's more obvious. Again this isn't the first one I've seen like this. It's "not" the lume.

 

It was $260 "Swiss" from WI. I'll still enjoy it but I find it a stupid thing.

On first glance it seems the hour marker at 5 has a much thinner border compared to the other markers... not sure if it's just the lighting though.

I'm starting to realize that after the crappy digital zoomed iPhone pics.

I can't make this my first relume project, or can I? Hmmm...
