Finally somebody with good eyes like mine ;-).
Yes, I am as picky when it comes to high quality and I don't mind to tell Omega their flaws right into their face, although I love my and my girlfriend's SM. I am just straight forward, well, honest.

Yes, the marks you see are probably from the tools used for placing the sword hands on the center spindle (is this the right term ?). Those tools hold the hands as I would assume for placing the hands horizontally correct.

I got my hands once exchanged during warranty, since I complained. After some time and superlumina sun-wear the marks came back as well on the new hands. Omega fans simply have to admit that these kind of flaws cannot be found in Rolex watches, but then again some Omega SMs are cheaper, half the price, than a Rolex SUB, mine was just a little cheaper, close to a Sub (150th SM).

To be honest, I am personally a little disappointed as well as on around 3-5 other points. I guess you can't have it all. Wonder when Omega finds the path back to the meaning of their name ???. Ups, hope this wasn't too straight forward ;-).

Cheers,
Andreas
