Hey guys. I recently got my 116710 and, of course, admire it often.

It appears as though the hour hand is slightly curved or domed. You really can't see it with the naked eye, but can really tell when you see light reflected on it. You can kind-of "roll" the reflection as you rotate the watch.

Is this normal? Thanks for the help.

Yes this is completely normal. The hands are curved so that they are easier to see when the light strikes them.

I agree, it's normal. Every Rolex I've owned has been this way.

Thanks!!!

Now I sleep at night.

Yes, Normal. The way Rolex Designed. Do search for post by Vanessa, a ROlex Service Tech. She had a good post on this.
