That's a great shot Jocke

Here's the crooked red finish on my Exp II 24hr hand, my AD thought I was nuts, RSC were horrified & replaced the hand pronto

BTW, at the time they said that the Exp II 24hr was distinguished from the GMT as the red paint stop just before it met the arrowhead, I bet you all knew that, it's not something I'd remembered until now but it's certainly true with my 16710









Here's the replaced 24hr hand

It took a lot of research to determine how such shoddy paint work could take place at Rolex and after an exhaustive investigation I found the mug shot of the culprit. It appears he was using the paint he saved for his extra-curricular activities:
