OPs Image taken from here:

https://www.beaverbrooks.co.uk/0152...t-Ocean-600M-CoAxial-Chromometer-Mens-Watch/p

The watch appears to be slightly tipped and very slightly not straight, none of the indices actually line up properly and the lugs appear to be moving away from us slightly. I believe that the website took some of Omega's official advertising stills/images for these.

Original, unclipped image:

OMEGA-Seamaster-42mm-Planet-Ocean-600M-CoAxial-Chromometer-Mens-Watch-21732422101004-42-mm-Bl...webp


Vs Omega's actual sale images from their website:


omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-600m-co-axial-master-chronometer-42-mm-21732422101004-4b44e6.webp


This is Much Ado About absolutely nothing, just an internet troll doing Internet troll things.
Look at any official omega image or even better try it on and see what I mean.

Yeah, you're exactly right. The bezel is 1 click off center. Odd decision for the Omega website...
The bezel is correct both in photos and in real life 😩

I meant the bezel is not out of alignment it’s the bezel indices that are out.

There’s no question that the bezel is/looks misaligned in the pic you shared. Whether that’s a photo/parallax issue or an actual physical one—we’d need to see several more photos of several different watches.

I’m skeptical that it’s a physical issue just given the way these bezels are made…

Perfect alignment of bezel, indices and numbers on this owner's version. Can we stop the trolling now?!

Have a look an any photo on the omega site and have a look in omega and see for yourself.

Omega wrote to me and acknowledged it’s an acceptable manufacturing misalignment. sad but true 😭

I won’t be buying one.

Sure, but… in almost every real-world (not digital render) pic I’ve seen since the release—in all three color variants—the bezel alignment looks spot on. Just google around and you’ll see.

So I understand if Omega said the off-ness of the pic you shared is within tolerance, but that doesn’t mean every single example of that reference is going to to be off too, right? Another owner above just confirmed that his is perfectly fine.

It’s been said here many times: these are mass produced watches that get hyped as “luxury” items via marketing tactics (artificial scarcity, silly pricing, etc). They are beautiful and innovative and prestigious—and they are going to have occasional imperfections. I wouldn’t advise anyone to pay retail price for an Omega ever—that’s not a wise financial choice—but certainly not if you’re expecting perfection.

Yeah, it's not like that on any image I have seen on forums, ebay, omega's website, anywhere else. I shared an image from omega's site. it doesn't look like yours. Maybe look at that one or something.

Well, it'll be our loss I'm sure but I assume this means you'll be going away now?

I’m sure Omega is distraught to hear this.

Turns out from their response, they are far from distraught and are happy to keep making substandard watches that some people are happy to buy.

If you don’t have a genuine response then please don’t bother!

Facts not in evidence. A confusing parallax angle in a photo on a website doesn't provide any evidence of ANY substandard watches. Get multiple angles of the problem showing that the bezel isn't actually fully aligning, and we'll talk, until then, you're hyper-analyzing photos that you don't understand.

Honestly your dissolutional. I can only presume you are so blinded you can’t see. Imagine you had a speedometer on your car that was out of alignment and you got caught for speeding. Sorry officer Omega said it was an acceptable manufacturing misalignment. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤮

Speedos on cars generally are out of alignment.
