Another Rolex Quality Control Thread.

[MJaber]

Greetings,

Rolex has always represented near perfection to me. I know, that's too much to expect from a watch manufacturer, but I believe they built a reputation on getting things done right every time, and I totally expect each watch to have a fault or two.
A month ago i was fortunate enough to purchase my first Rolex, the Explorer 1 (2016). First thing I noticed is the Crown on the rehaute doesn't align with the triangle and is actually quiet off centre to the right by a large margin. Second, the E in Explorer print has some ink bleed which left the poor fella with a lump on his back. I'm surprisingly fine with both.

Now, third and what is actually irritating me is what seems to be a scratch or maybe some sort of particle on the metal part of the 2 O'clock stick. I cannot Unsee it. It stares at me every time I look at my otherwise handsome watch.

Is this something I should be upset about? And has anyone here had any experience with any of these issues? Is it covered by warranty?

Any guidance would be very much appreciated.

Sorry if the pics are not so clear but It's very difficult to capture a proper picture.
