In Response To: Derek, I don't think that this is a parallax error ()

If you would rather fret over such perceptions, then I am sorry to see someone unable to enjoy their watch. I see this too often -- people pay a lot of money (to them) for a watch, then fret over any possible perception of imperfection.

I'll say this one time more. Unless you take a photo PERFECTLY STRAIGHT ON (not only left/right but top/bottom too), you are GUARANTEED of perceiving something that looks like misalignment. It is IMPOSSIBLE to make a watch with a raised bezel that does not have that effect.

Still too caught up in this to listen to me? Then go to an Omega dealer and compare it to others of the same model.

Your choice: understand this and relax, or fret over it until you totally ruin the enjoyment of your purchase.

I'm here to help. But if you refuse to listen to the advice of someone that has dealt with such issues for years, then you're on you own.
