Panerai PAM 441 V2 VSF - quality issue

[vshutoff]

Hello guys,

I just purchased PAM 441 by V2 VSF from reputable dealer listed here.
I love the watch with very little exception - the minute hand is slightly pointing upward.

The dealer told me that it is OK and advised to check on this forum. Please let me know if you think it is OK or if it it easy enough to fix.

Appreciate your help.

No need for the crystal ball this time. It's a documented phenomenon, that domed (or non-flat) crystals can give this appearance of hands bending upwards when viewed from an extreme angle (well technically you can't see an actual bending of the hand if you were viewing it straight on but you know what I mean).

To illustrate, here is but one thread on the matter, on TZ.
