Ok maybe @STANDY needs to lay off on the moisturizer or something

Two different people have noted this on forum, and as I've said, I've had people contact me to ask about swapping the case back due to this issue.

Having owned the blue reverse panda version, my own opinion is that the case backs on these are a deal breaker. Even if they don’t leave marks behind (I think this depends entirely on the person... the impressions left on my wrist were nice and crisp), the edges of the stamping feel rough and just cheap. I sold mine within a week of ownership.

could have changed case back alone? unless you dint like something else.

mod a 6k+ watch so it is wearable

For a few people the sharp edges are irritating or simply distasteful to their idea of “what a watch should feel like.” If I felt that way, I’d move it out of my collection, too.

But to call it “unwearable” is a lot dramatic.

Reminds me of this guy:

I noticed number 170 in the tachometer scale not clearly printed. Though it’s very cosmetic. I can’t unsee it now . I tried rubbing gently with body spray but nope. It seems like printing issue. Anybody has seen this kind of issue? It might
Look silly, but can’t overcome it.

So for me, the imprint basically replicated the caseback. If you have to see that every time you shift your wrist or happen to take the watch off, it makes the watch unwearable, yes.

Here are few. I tried to capture the dial in different lights. Tough to capture though. Only issue with the dial and hands is low light legibility not great. However it doesn’t bother me.😀

I know it's subjective but I think the green bezel version is the least attractive of the 5. IMO it would have looked much better if they had left the crown and pushers stainless steel.

The print on mine is solid - is it possible you scratched it?

I've been carefully monitoring progress of the Rising Sun on C24 and slowly but surely supply has contracted and prices are rising. Only 4 weeks ago you could pick one up from Japan at £5k (plus shipping, VAT and duties etc). Now the minimum price is £6k and the number of available watches has fallen. Worth taking into account if you were in the market for one.

have you happened to incidentally gleaned anything about the panda version? Not asking for any homework, only just if it’s been incidental to your careful tracking of rising sun
