Tudor Black Bay Chrono bezel not perfectly round - all of them?

Hey guys.

I was staring intently at my new Tudor (bad idea), and noticed that the bezel isn't perfectly round right where the "units per hour" text is. It looks like too much material was taken away during the polishing process at manufacturing.

Then I went to the Tudor website and Instagram, and noticed that all of them look like that.

Is it just me or is it an optical illusion? It certainly looks like all of them are slightly out of round at the 1 o'clock position.

I've attached pics. First pic is my watch. Second is the website. The rest are Instagram.

What do you guys think?

Interesting. I was just at my friendly Tudor AD this morning looking at this exact piece, on the leather suede strap. Wow, what a stunner.

Nothing really jumped out at me there. Except for how much I wanted to buy it.

The domed sapphire makes it appear that way at different angles.
