What's going on with snoopy 3 hour markers?

It’s a trick of the mind. The shadows are all top down which means the mind misses the shadows cast beneath the marker making it seem the distance to the nearest hash is shorter ?

in one of the fratello pics you can see this swap towards the 3

Ps I’m fairly certain these dials are laser aligned and printed with predefined cutouts for placement of the markers

I know everyone's first reaction is going to be something along the lines of 'ITS PARALAX' but I don't think that's the case. Maybe this is just a prototype? Maybe that's just the tolerance dials are made to? I've noticed the same issue on a couple of olympic 2020 models but find it odd on the website pictures plus it looks like fratello live photos have the same thing going on.

the 12 through 5 hour markers seem to be lined up correctly in place, but 6 through 11 seem to be too close to their previous minute hash mark.

You are right!
Here's the proof: in this image you can easy see the "7" hour marker off-centered between the minutes markers. No deceptive shades in this image.
Maybe a pre-production problem.

How about the 'manking' box misspelling, and the wrong time for the brass plaque in the Apollo 11 50th (eventually corrected)? Omega is like any company, screwups can happen through inattention..

Yes there were screwups with that box and that plaque, but they are two "accessories" that play second fiddle and to, and wouldn't get as nearly as much attention in production as, the watch.

This is the face of the watch itself—the most visible part—so you'd think there wouldn't be any inattention related errors with this. I don't know if this one is actually an error or just visual tricks though.

Just curious if you think this marker is now centred?

Tons of live footage directly from the Omega factory. Same placement of markers as marketing pictures and website pictures. Maybe they are supposed to be like that?
