Howdy!

Just got my 18238 back from RSC Dallas. Everything looks perfect except for the lugs. Both left bottom edges of the lugs are just a tiny bit uneven. I have been looking around and it seems to be a common occurrence on DD & DJ that have been polished.

Honestly it doesn't bother me very much but I would like to know if this is something that happens often.

Thanks - Matt

Lugs aren’t ever even as crown side and case side are different on many models. Curious what the service cost and what all they did? Watch looks great.

Does look uneven, one side is more squared up

Maybe its the angle of the picture but the lugs look like its not flat?

Like the left lug is on a angle and the right one is flat?

Am i seeing things?

What did it look like before? Looks in great condition.

Crown side 6:00 lug def look smaller. Can't wait to see how the forum experts weigh in on this.

Let's see a photo before it was polished.

Thank you for the responses. Unfortunately I do not have a picture from before, but am sure it was even.

Is this common with polished watches?

OK so we are not seeing things right? The left lug is at an angle? If so then that has been damaged unless it was like that before.

The lugs on each side should match not sure whats happened there. Dallas RSC did this? Strange indeed.

You are correct, the left lugs are at an angle. The watch was serviced by Dallas RSC.

Its definitely uneven. I think it still looks fantastic and shouldn't take away from your enjoyment. Wouldn't bug me, just part of ownership and the experience of servicing.
