But under 100x magnification it will show the imperfection.
Also Seiko is still a seiko.

What do you mean by Seiko is still a Seiko?

I told you...

Leave the plastic stickers on the watch!
I'm sure the Rolex service center would gladly
replace them...for a fee.
Perhaps there might be a mint set of plastics on Ebay?

He is a watch snob. Thinks Rolex is the best when in reality he has no idea. LOL

And yes I know this is a Rolex forum and everyone loves Rolex but there are equal and better watches than a Rolex at the same or lower price point.

Think of a diamond. Most beautiful eye-clean diamonds reveal "imperfections" under 10x power. Yes that affects the value but not the look. Admire with unaided eye.

Like others have said, it's no joke. Rolex finishing on the dials and especially hands aren't remotely comparable to GS. Bracelets and overall tolerances in terms of fit are another matter however. GS isn't as good as Rolex.

Rolex watches are not meant to stand up to scrutiny under magnification. You will see all sorts of imperfections from alignment, to marks, to horrendous paint like the picture below of the new white gold BLRO.
