But i learned not to share that here. :p did the same with my daytona meteorite from 2004. Also a beautifull watch.

You can do that here. It’s a remarkable piece! For the negative comments haters gonna hate! It’s beautiful !!

Defect Hands/Dials……It’s gonna be worth a million dollars one day. List it for 500k….it’s a bargain at that price!!!

Oh, the humanity. The horror.

I'll take it off your hands, for a nominal price, since it's defective.

And to the negative persons. Definitely didn’t expect those negative reactions. Sorry for being a detailled person. Just asking a question. I thought it was a community here where you can ask questions and share experiences. Not all people are equal so different people notice different things. :)

Well said, supposed to be a community to talk about the hobby and trade stories and ask questions. honestly for the price and scarcity of this particular model one would assume it would have more detailed finishing/QC than like an Oyster Perpetual.

First i found this really weird so i started looking at pictures from watches for sale on chrono24 and also on pictures from AD. This one from Petite Geneve shows exactly what i mean. Is this common with the GMT hand? More people noticed this? I didn’t see it on my batman. I thought Rolex was known for it’s perfectness and finishes.

This is Rolex's recent QC issue, which I have seen in their GMTs. However, I have a 16710 GMT Pepsi and it seems that issue is not present.

Maybe their production process changed. It’s not the biggest deal. You cannot see it with the naked eye.

The meteorite however, it is beautifull. I like this one more than my daytona. :)
