The problem is once you see these your eyes automatically get drawn to the area and thats all you end up looking at. Its not fun or enjoyable.

I just can't believe this is so widespread and I still cant figure out how this is only affecting Rolex. Something is wrong on the way they manufacture their sunburst to have inconsistencies. I cant find these issues with ANY other brand honestly. All their sunburst are consistent.

I agree if it is noticeable and does detract from your enjoyment then yes you should have it replaced and glad to hear RSC did so. It's a good point to raise to check at the time of purchasing as most dials are fine but some are unacceptable, unfortunately while Rolex is riding so high I don't think any QC changes will be made now.
