I hope you're kidding. Otherwise you are being both condescending and wrong.

I'm not sure how moving the end links would completely change the shape of the lug end.

Some people just don't like to see Rolexes criticized!

Its a flat photograph--you can tell by the dimensions of other parts of the watch in the photograph. So, the difference in lug length is real and measurable, its not a camera trick or end link positioning. And the difference in shape is clear.

THAT compares to a tiny scratch??? I'm definitely bringing all my second hand dinged-up watches that run well out of COSC to you!

Flat.

LOL. Not just gullible, but there is some serious panty twisting at even the thought of a polish around here!

In this example, who's to say it was the RSC that did it? Maybe it was polished between earlier sales. Maybe (as many have suggested) it was a repair. Maybe it's just an optical artifact that often happens with digital photography that is enlarged to ridiculous levels. Or maybe a bad photoshop.

Or maybe, and I'm just throwing this out there, maybe... it's just a watch.

Could just be the angle of that photo

It is a pass for me.
