312 case question

I was wondering if it's normal that my new 312 on the left up corner , the edge is not the same sharp as the other up 3 corners!I am asking because I watched on YouTube a video which shows you how 312 is made and I saw that all the job is made by robots, so it is difficult to make mistakes(my opinion).has anybody noticed something similar on his Pam?I would calm down if I knew that this is normal and that the cases can't be 100% excellent even made from robots!!!

the final polish will I think be by hand so it could well have been over polished,a pic would be good,I would be taking a trip to your AD for them to look it over.

I can't see it in the pics but I bet it is possible.

Even high end watches have mistakes. My Daytona had a bit of gasket lube from under the crystal fall onto the dial. My Omega Ploprof had the crown guard installed UPSIDE DOWN.

Now when I buy a new watch I look at it under a loupe for 10 minutes before I leave the store. Then I set the time and watch it for 3 days before I wear it.

Stuff happens.

I checked it before I buy it but it is so small and I saw it 2 days after looking it under a lamp for 20 minutes!!
