Confession: I am also a bit worried about the registers

Abel:

It's difficult to form a good judgment from this one photo, but I will admit that the printing on the registers looks a bit weak.

No such issues in the photo that we saw previously (and which is shown below).

: Hello,

: I like the looks of the 80th Birthday Carrera very much...

: But there's something about the registers I'm not comfortable with.
: When looking at the watch...the minute register (right one)
: appears to be smaller then the register of the running seconds
: (left one).

: I think it's because the more dense printing of indexes of the
: minutes counter...oh well...it might be just me that has this
: feeling.

: When looking at the watch a little longer, you can see ofcourse
: both registers have thesame dimensions...as outlined before, to
: me it only appears when looking at the watch very short time.

: Anyone else has this visual feeling??

: Cheerio,
: Abel.
