Possible flaw in Planet Ocean

I recently bought a planet ocean, orange bezel.

Noticed after a week of staring at it that the ten and five o'clock luminous markers were not placed flat against the face of the watch. Note that the imperfection is so slight that you cannot see it unless you hold the watch up horizontal at eye level and rotate the watch to look 'end on' to the markers.

I love the watch, and thankfully my authorised dealer is replacing it for me (not the bracelet given it was marked from 14 days of use). I understand the bracelet is not 'serialised' so this is cool.

Whilst going through the details with my dealer I also looked closely at another PO they had in the shop which showed the same flaw, however, to a lesser degree and on only one different hour marker.

Thought you might like to know...

I still love the watch!
