Misaligned minute hands galore!

[SPACE-DWELLER]

Chris just posted a thread about the typical time that Rolex watches show in the Rolex catalogues:

10.10.31.

But I noted yesterday evening when I was browsing the newest Rolex catalogue (the one starring the Milgauss and SS GMT IIc) that on almost EVERY watch shown you see a misaligned minute hand.

Basically, all pics show the phenomenon that is often referred to as "play in the hands" (see the part about "Winding setting your watch" in the General Rolex FAQ's for more about play in the hands).

Ideally, when the time tells "10.10.31", the minute hand ought to stand EXACTLY between 10 and 11, but on most of the pics, the minute hand is either standing on 10 exactly or almost 11, despite the second's hand being at 31.

Also, I noted that the Daytonas shown all have THIN hands that were discontinued with the F-series!

What a bummer, Rolex!
