I think you should break out the electron microscope to provide unarguable evidence to Rolex.

My PI had a Nikon stereo microscope in her lab and the software was infuriating. Crashes, lag, lost settings, etc... It's a wonder I made it through grad school without tossing the damn PC out the window! The actual scope was nice though lol

Let's get the folks with scanning electron microscopes or similar to spell out ROLEX in single Rolesor molecules. Then I will feel we've seen all the imperfections...

I may just let it slide...



We're just lucky I can't fit a watch in my SEMs. My real question if how did you calibrate your microscope?

Get a Grand Seiko . .

if you want electron microscope accuracy

(someone normally chimes in with the 'get a Grand seiko' line at this point)

I believe either the watch or the microscope has been magnetized. Or fakes.
