Just looked 2 time at the video
What you think is a bad paint job is actually the metal between each letter and not a bad paint job.
Can't tell if gen is like that (no picture are as close) but it's clearly intensional.
if it's not this, well I don't see what you see.
Yes,
you're not supposed to see the metal, only the blue paint and I think you can see it on the wrist
puretime and not only with a loupe. Anyway, puretime should take best example to shoot his beautiful videos.
