Chad, Mark

I agree with you both.

Any defect that you can see with the naked eye - instant return; we certainly expect, and pay for that.

As for Casios and Seikos, I don't know too many people who have admitted to looking one over with a 10X loupe.

Today, I have some reading glasses on - looking at my EXP II....It looks perfect..
..I pick up my 10X loupe (I admit, I have one right here at my desk) and the only thing I can notice after a few minutes is the S's on "swiss made" at the bottom are flattened while all the other S's are rounded.....Is this a defect?

If I spend another ten minutes will I find the paint is not uniformly thick on the date font? If I do should I be alarmed?

My point, if there is one, is - how far do we take this notion of perfection with this hunk of steel with some gears and paint?

I really don't know.
