Midsize DJ -- Is this a defect??
Hanging around this forum has made me appreciate my Rolexes a whole lot more, maybe too much. Below is my first Rolex, a SS midsize DJ that I received in 1990 from my Mother as a present when I graduated.
I never thought much of it except for sentimental value until I bought two new Rolexes this past year. Since then, and since I've been on this forum, I've grown to liking it a whole lot more. Now that I'm looking closer at it, I've noticed that the tritium over the 1 and 2 o'clock markers is off center. Since I've had this watch, it's been serviced three times at an AD. I'm reasonably certain no one has touched the dial. Is this an acceptable level of asymmetry for a Rolex product? Does this change the value of the watch in any way like an imperfect quarter (not that I would ever sell it)? Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill??

A straight on shot of the dial would help.

Don't worry about it it looks fine and if it really bugs you get a new dial at the next service.

I appreciate the input. I think it looks fine and at least I can say that there is something unique about the watch. Even if it was a manufacturing defect, I'm not going to change it.
I am curious though if anybody else has noticed "manufacturing imperfections" in their Rolexes.

A perfect keepsake, even if it may be slightly imperfect.

I am a bit surprised that Rolex would let a "imperfect" dial out of the shop. Educate me...
