And now I know why..

It’s not a Rolex but bear with me. You guys have sharper eyes than mine.

I think the ‘S’ is printed lower than the rest of the text, right? Or am I imagining it?

Fake.

JK.

I think I see what you’re referring to.

Small “imperfections” = character

THE definition of OCD!

You will be checking power reserve hand alignment next...

Lump · 2 March 2019, 10:19 PM

Hmm yes. The ‘V’ looks upside down too.

Ha! It’s legit. It’s an amazing piece.

Daveclock · 2 March 2019, 10:26 PM

Luckily its only a Seiko!

Dsmith1974 · 2 March 2019, 10:27 PM

Not worried about it and it won’t be a problem. Guess I’m just curious if it’s normal or I’ve spotted a tiny issue.

My eyes aren’t the best any more but I know some people on here have eyes like owls.

Sorry I don’t see it.

Put away the loupe and enjoy your beautiful GS

Lump · 2 March 2019, 10:28 PM

It’s in its perfect place. Relax and enjoy.

rod442 · 2 March 2019, 10:29 PM

Quite. If it were a Rollie I wouldn’t be surprised by a minor imperfection. Only reason I’m surprised by this is because it’s a GS.

It might be the textured dial underneath giving the S a slightly askew appearance. I wouldn’t sweat it.

watchstudent · 2 March 2019, 10:35 PM

I can't see it to be honest. Nice watch though

koryong · 2 March 2019, 10:43 PM

The P looks tilted ...

benlee · 2 March 2019, 10:47 PM

It looks fine to me.

1William · 2 March 2019, 10:49 PM

Looks normal to me. Great watch.

Brew · 2 March 2019, 10:56 PM

Wow! The glimpse of the power reserve in post #9 looks like a Japanese rock garden. Just awesome!!

ancientmariner · 2 March 2019, 11:00 PM

looks spot on to me

Old Expat Beast · 2 March 2019, 11:07 PM

Looks dead on to me.

Surely not? The kerning looks spot on there. Don Knuth couldn’t have done a better job with LaTeX!

I think it’s fine- often with letters/numerals that have curvature they can often look irregular/misaligned. Nothing to worry about
