[Help] This cyclop is misaligned???

[DJTony82]

Hi guys, I ask for help from you, who are much more experienced than me to understand if it is the viewing angle of the photo or the cyclops is really misaligned in this GMT Master 2 that was shipped to me and will have to arrive, thanks in advance for help!!!

Looks fine to me.

WOOOOAH it’s miles off that’s a DISASTER!!1!

Oh no hang on it’s just the angle - it looks fine.

If it’s already on its way to you, you’ll find out in person soon, won’t you? Not really much point getting in a stew about it.

The cyclops is indeed grossly tilted counter-clockwise. It only looks fine because the watch is being held in a position that conceals the degree of misalignment.

When the watch is on your wrist and you observe the cyclops from the top at a 90degree angle you'll see exactly how slanted the cyclops is and it's going to bug you to no end because it actually makes the watch look cheap and fake and silly.

Dealers will always send QC pics of the watch after getting them in a position in which the cyclops has minimal misalignment. But the angle at which the watch head is held always betrays a crooked cyclops.

Normally a little misalignment is OK because watchmakers at the factories assemble so many units per day. But this one is an outright RL for me.

So OP, sorry to hear that the watch is already on the way to you. You'll have to take it to a watchmaker to get the crystal aligned.

probably it will be me who do not understand your humor but forgive me your comment seems really useless to clarify a doubt that has come to me since I do not know if it is the view or the reflection of light on the upper limit of the cyclops that makes it appear slightly distorted or it really is, even if very little

Watch is perfectly fine. Picture is just slightly tilted to the left. Alignment is excellent.

You must be kidding Tony.
