Date window and cyclops are not crooked. There is a little more white showing on the right side of the date numerals. This is as it should be at the view angle used. See post below for explanation.

Are my eyes deceiving me?

IIRC, dials with bold SUBMARINER text should have the little space before the Y in OFFICIALLY.

I try not to get too wrapped up in that anomaly, especially after seeing the other anomalies in those two lines of text.

I don't recall ever seeing this discussion in any Sub threads, but it was recently talked about in a GMT thread. There is uneven letter spacing near the end of CHRONOMETER. The letter C in OFFICIALLY and the letters ED in CERTIFIED are TALLER that the other letters. Also the letter F and even the last I in CERTIFIED look taller on many dials.

Look closely at some gen dials, they have it too. The rep dial makers have tried to copy these anomalies exactly.

KJ2020 Surprisingly some gen shows no space before the Y in OFFICIALLY, the rep factories copied it exactly depends on what gen they get to copy from

Really shows you that people will never be happy. There will always be something to complain about even if it exists on a Gen at some point. There’s enough variances in these Gen Subs over the years that it’s not worth nitpicking anymore. But everyone has an idea of what their perfect Sub is.

Hi guys, I received my QC today, but I think my bezel is misaligned. Can you please help me out? I am hoping it's just my eyes are deceiving me. Everything else looks great! Thanks

That's what I thought too. I spent time looking at the picture now and realized it’s just because of the angle. I already accepted it. Thank you, and so sorry for bothering you all. Should have realized it at first.

Too many QC issues? VSF really brought their A game from their Omega products I guess.
