No praise deserved for the timing Oscar, it took me several attempts to hack it spot on

the first thing i noticed was that that dot would wind up being dead center of the mercedes on my sub hour hand. It was only last night that i noticed it was also a perfect replacement for the O in ROLEX. Thats the great thing about rolex, attention to detail. Some might complain about where the crown point on the winding crown, which, sure maybe an oversight, or they just dont care, but someone was surely paying attention when it came time to design the hands!

killer shot!

I think the same effect happens on the old GMT too and possibly the Submariner! Rolex's attention to detail or pure coincidence?

No sun in the UK JJ, when it re-appears in the sky around March there'll be the usual mass UFO reports

I've got my ROLEX for almost 2 years now, but I had never noticed that the top of the seconds hand goes spot on the O from ROLEX......
