Pam1055 - crystal distortion (fisheye)

[mat2006]

Hello Panerai fans,

I recently recieved a VSF Pam1055 via M2M. I like the watch but when I got the watch on the wrist and look at it from the side in different angles the crystal looks distorted. I added you a photo in which you can see what I mean. Photo number one is the normal view and photo two is the angle when the crystal looks distorted.

Normal View:


Distorted View on the crystal:


What do you think about it? Is this normal for a pam1055 made by vsf or does maybe also the gen have it? Is there any member that has a vsf pam1055 and has the same issue?
I would be happy if someone could tell me. Thank you very much in advance.

Kind regards

Mat

Hello!
No, gen does not have this effect.
Yes, VSF has this effect.
This is a flaw that, to be honest, someone mentions, probably in every thread dedicated to every VSF 42mm submersible model.
