Picture shows the back and the front. The front screws line up perfectly. The back screws are all over the place.
Why can’t they do something to make the back screws line up as well? I’m pretty sure the screws in the front and back aren’t connected. So whatever they do to make the front line up they should be able to do for the back, no?
It’s a very small issue but considering how much this watch is, as well as the commitment to precision/detail-orientation, this is something that really bothers me every time I see it…
Thanks. I actually bought an ALS over the AP Royal Oak because of those screws. They’re just such a big part of the design and when it’s not aligned in the back it’s really jarring
I understand for the screws in the movement and how difficult aligning all of those would be though. However, I still think once you get to the super ultra level of these brands (I’m using $150k but it could be $250k or whatever) then even these screws should be aligned.
Thanks so much for your posts. Very informative
Nobody aligns real screws at any price point. It simply isn’t possible to do so and still tension parts correctly.
The $600,000 hand made 1 still doesn’t have aligned screw heads, even through each screw is hand made for the watch.
