Datejust Hour Marker Alignment

Hi guys - I recently purchased a new Rolex Datejust 116200 from an AD in town and noticed the 6 hour index is slightly tilted to the right. I will admit it is very slight but it's something I can't un-see! They way it becomes obvious to me is when I compare the horizontal line of the top of the index to the line of the bottom of the text above it...they just don't run parallel in my opinion.

I know there are various threads on here about similar problems but I would really like to see what you guys have to say about this specific issue. I have Grand Seiko, JLC and Omega but have never had QC issues noticeable to the naked eye before.

Am I being crazy or is it worth sending to RCC to get fixed.

Thanks in advance!

I don't see anything wrong. Is it that obvious to you ?

Looks fine. Take it to an AD and ask them if it looks crooked.

I see what you’re seeing. Should be something the RSC could address. Subtle though. It would bug me too. Don’t worry about what anyone else says... fix it if you’re not happy.

Perhaps you should look again once you sober up.
