I looked at mine under a loupe and found spots of paint missing on nearly every dot and number on the bezel and the 30 minute marker doesn’t line up with the marker on bezel. I bought mine from an AD and put pics and post on here a few months ago but now realise it doesn’t matter if there are slight imperfections as they are finished by hand and it gives it a bit of character. I love the watch, imperfections and all
Thanks for the replies! It is less noticeable when parallax is minimized.

White seamaster bezel. I've tried looking at it at a whole bunch of angles and can't seem to unsee it.
The 9 o’clock bezel marker isn’t right but eh. It is what it is - just gonna ignore it.
It looks like the 6, 7 and 8 are off the same amount in that picture. That being the case, I'm betting paralax/angle of the shot.
I'm trying to find an angle where 6, 7, 8 and 9 aren't slightly off - I genuinely can't. I think its just an imperfection of the bezel. Guess I'll just have to live with it lol.
Due to various issues. Misalignments, dust specks, bezel issues, date wheel issues etc. Even the infamous wrong lume pip color 😜. It just felt to me like this was a rushed project. The PO on the other hand is prefect.
Here is it on the OEM Nato.
Thank you.
I still think the SMP is a great watch for its money. It just feels like the attention to detail is missing. If i was working on the quality control line i would be tossing 90% of them back in the bin 😜
