IWC Pilot 377709 wording under the date

[siuhhn]

I have bought an rep IWC Pilot 377709 months ago and this question has been in my mind for a long time. For the word "SCHAFFHAUSEN", the first part "SCHAFF" is a bit not align with "HAUSEN". I've tried to find some gen watch online for comparison but sometimes they look the same yet sometimes not, I can't judge. Any IWC lovers can share your thoughts?

Yea I found this with my one, probably a batch issue or something I didn't notice it at first, but then it bugged me for a bit but I've kind of forgotten about it now. If it's too much to bare with you can order a new dial for about $40

Is this an issue on the ZF watches? Where do you get a dial for $40?

Not sure if it's a continuous issue, just check it over in QC photos if you order one. And you can ask the TDs to source you parts separately if they're available

My watch is also from ZF. The point is I also find some genuine 377709 having the same problem ( or it’s the design ?) but the word is just slightly less unaligned. Could people tell it’s a rep by looking at it?

Wonky SCHAFFHAUSEN text is often caused by image packaging algorithms. Ask for closeup picture of the text and it should dissappear.

I've also ordered same and realized it but I checked from gens, most pictures have same issue, I think It's all about optical illusion.
