Hello everyone.

I recently purchased this 16610 from a second hand dealer and I am not sure if my eyes are off or if the bottom 'Swiss Made' text is misaligned.

To my eyes the 'Swiss' part seems more centre aligned to the 6'oclock minute markers while the 'Made' text seems more right aligned.

What does everyone think?

Yes, looks like it. So what? Would not be an issue for me

The alignment looks good. It's evenly spaced from after the 23 marker to before the 32 marker.

I doubt I would have spotted it.

The phrase Swiss made looks perfectly aligned relative to the 28 and 32 minute marks.

It looks right you’re all good

But just an fyi - Rolex watches are mass produced and there are little imperfections on all the watches .. I’ve bought 12-15 by now and more than half have imperfections by way of misalignments .. specs of debris on dials etc .. basically all watch brands suffer from this - eventually even if you’re ocd you have to learn that it’s part of watch ownership .. it’s no big deal! Enjoy !!

5 letters vs 4 letters.. Put the loupe away.

Did you see the print of made appears brighter than the Swiss. Maybe just the lighting.

Cool no dramas then, I was just worried it may have been indication of a non-gen watch but I did buy it from a reputable dealer. I'm not bothered by it.

It’s a genuine dial if that’s what you’re driving at. Mine is similar - D serial sub from 06’, no holes case, SEL.

All good here

Overthinking this…

My dial looks exactly like yours…..all is good.

The first “S” of “Swiss” and the last “e” of “made” are the same distance from their respective minute markers which should tell you someone much smarter and more observant than you created this timepiece.

This is what you paid for. Enjoy it in good health.

This doesn't seem like an issue honestly.
