What do you think?

TattooedGQ · 20 July 2010, 05:37 AM

Yup...and the date looks a bit off in the window (might just be the pic)

Chris B · 20 July 2010, 05:41 AM

Definitely, get it sorted Mark or it'll drive you nuts

It has driven me nuts as I look for precision in a time piece amd that includes hands pointing precisely where it should.

I have sent in back to RSC London and they said it is not off centred. I am waiting for the General Manager to call me tomorrow.

NMS75 · 20 July 2010, 05:52 AM

Yes it is definately off-centre - easy fix perhaps though?

slevin kelevra · 20 July 2010, 05:53 AM

You dont have much luck do you mate. It looks a little off to me. As does the date.

My sub isnt 100% perfect when sitting in the same position as yours but its close enough and im not getting involved in sending my watch to Bexley again!!

Keep us posted!

And, does anyone else have pics of their GMTs sitting at six so we can compare??

Set the 4th hand to 6 o'clock to see if that one line up perfect, then you will see if the hour hand is spot on.

JJ Irani · 20 July 2010, 05:55 AM

For sure, but it's an easy fix.

One of the things I check out with my 10x loupe when buying a new watch. Must try these FOUR positions.....

6 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock to check for perfect alignment.

sturgeon123456 · 20 July 2010, 08:17 AM

Ummmmmmm..........seriously that looks fine to me.......nothings perfect. Would not bother me one bit....can you still tell the time? Does the watch tick? Does the lume work? Does the date change? Seriously if you answered yes to all the above questions then your watch is fine IMO. Some people may have higher standards than me though lol.

Perdu · 20 July 2010, 09:37 AM

To be honest I would not have my watch opened up for that, it's barely noticeable and at service time they will take the hands off anyway and reset them.

andrew79 · 20 July 2010, 10:43 AM

slightly off i must say, but perhaps the angle ?

Rolesor · 20 July 2010, 10:46 AM

Looks off to me! sorry!

Watchdog · 20 July 2010, 10:46 AM

It's a little off, but I wouldn't worry about it!

Okay, I would worry about it, but I wouldn't obsess over it.

Actually, it might bother me a little.

As a matter of fact, send it off ASAP.

Art 1 · 20 July 2010, 10:59 AM

Yes.

Shade · 20 July 2010, 11:06 AM

Judging by the picture it does look a bit off, however a slight play in the angle of your camera may cause tricks to the picture..

But having said that, I personally wouldnt be bothered too much anyway, since the time never stops so I will never notice it.. But thats just me!

Idle Swede · 20 July 2010, 11:12 AM

Here you go, maybe it's easier to judge it now.

I tried to clean it up a bit but the picture wasn't that good from the beginning.

Makes perfect sense to me!

Good advice.

Latrodectus · 20 July 2010, 12:34 PM

Yes, a little off...would bother me too!

Rogue884 · 20 July 2010, 12:37 PM

I thought I had OCD, WoW! Have a beer, enjoy your watch, and if date doesn't change at midnight spot on, they are screwing with you.

Maybe its the dial.

scl6118 · 20 July 2010, 12:43 PM

How odd.

javentura · 20 July 2010, 12:45 PM

Yeah it looks like it.

aquasky · 20 July 2010, 01:24 PM

Sorry, yes, it looks off. I'd expect a perfect dial and centred hands, no less than that.

Sejanus · 20 July 2010, 01:51 PM

Looks off to me as well, but I have experience with an Omega SMP that had an issue like that and for awhile it drove me NUTS. Then when I had it serviced for another issue they fixed it, so I would agree with those above that say wait until a service cycle and then it will be fixed.

After all, something much worse could be wrong with it..

Otto76 · 20 July 2010, 02:23 PM

Yep, and that would bother me too. I've had the same thing fixed on two watches (a Bell & Ross and a Panerai), although in both cases the problem was quite a bit worse than yours.

GregWormald · 20 July 2010, 05:57 PM

Yes, it's off in the pic.
It's 7 seconds past 6 and yet the hour hand looks like it's on the "before 6" side of the mark.

Greg

youngr · 20 July 2010, 06:34 PM

I think it looks fine

DOUBLE 0 SE7EN · 20 July 2010, 06:57 PM

For me no need to open the watch for such a thing..

How come RSC London says it's not off centered ? It's very obvious that the hour hand isn't centered ! .. This drives me nut too for such a watch.. Please let us know about the GM decision.

Mahkota · 20 July 2010, 07:22 PM

I think it looks fine. Dont have to be so anal about it.
