I'm a little disappointed of Rolex work>>>

I think they should put on a coat more of paint and sanding the surface before assembling the parts.

If you wear your watch long enough the friction of the air passing over the moving hand will smooth that right out.

Are you saying they didn't even put a layer of clear coat on that?

How are you supposed to wax it?

When will Rolex finally understand that it's not about water resistance measured in meters under the sea? It's all about imperfections measured in microns under the microscope!

Nice shot Jocke

I don't care for that orange peel top coat. Really unprofessional QC in the paint booth. Send it back!

I'd send it back to the AD for a refund. It's all I would think about every time I looked at it. You deserve better.

Completely agree. Imperfections at 100X mag is unacceptable!

Take it to a lab and have it magnified with an electron microscope so we can see the detail inside the hand, I want to see the detail!

for some reason, the orange coloration & texture reminds me of a cheeto.
