No if you can easily read the date you have nothing to worry about.

God forbid you'd need your rolex to confirm what the date was.

Wasn't there some watches released that had lower than normal mag on the date? Can't remember the time frame.

Looks good. There was a short run where there was a lot of low mag going out but I think that was resolved. Haven't seen it on a new model in a while.

Yes a few years back now but most were widely exaggerated around the forums at most there was magnification on some 1.5X, and Rolex did change on the web site to being 1.5X instead of around 2.0X.

IIRC it turned out to be a supplier issue for Rolex.

My immediate reaction was that it is low magnification.

I just checked my 2018 116610LV. It looks about the same.

Lighting can do funny things.

Never came to my mind to check mine. Is Rolex not standard on cyclops magnification power they use?

Yes. It does.

I had the crystal replaced on a Sub that looked just like that.

Rolex took care of it under warranty, of course.
