Should I send it back?>>>

Just got it home from service and IMHO so did the cyclop not line up at 3 o'clock position perfect.

What do you think about it, should I accept it? Or send it back?

Na, makes it more unique. Look at the date on an angle.

ROFL. Instead of having them move the cyclops, maybe they could just move the date window. This way there is no need to damage your crystal or leave any glue residue on it

if you look at a Rolex with a magnifier then you will find mistakes - Enjoy your watch instead

If you have a lazy/cross eye this could work in your favor.

That is actually a very rare kermit! They call it the 5:30. Only one like it in the entire world!

Do not stop... Do not pass go... Go directly to Sotheby's auction house... do not collect $200...

Jocke, with your Photoshop skills, you should be able to line it up perfectly!

no problem...

just have them rotate the movement to bring the date down to the cyclops...problem solved.
Of course you will never be on time again...ever

I think Rolex quality control may be slipping a touch but I cant tell with my ocd.
