Is this Day Date 18038 overpolished?

I see this gap in 1803’s and 18038’s sporadically and haven’t really seen them in 18238’s.

Why do you only find these gaps in “some” 1803 and 18038’s and not all of them?

Thanks,

Can be caused by old and worn out spring bars. New ones make ‘gaps’ tighter and more flush.
