Flaws on watch hands common?

[repigator]

Hi,

just wondering if it's common to have fine scratches or marks on polished watch hands? I noticed on a few of my watches having fine scratches or marks under certain lighting conditions. These are also visible on some TD photos too....example:

Yeh, I can see plenty of scratches/finger prints on hands/hour markers in a LOT of my reps.

Only visible under certain lighting but they're there!


They look even more noticeable under the crappy florescent light at work!! Agh!

Bloody reps!

Yes there are some small screws but, at least in my reps, not so much evident , we should consider that we pay around 300 $ not 5000/6000 ..

Yes! Fluorescent lights are the worst!
