I read somewhere that there isn't a right or wrong pronunciation of Omega. Either is correct. But pre Bond's association with the brand I always used to pronounce it O-megga. Anyone else?

The Watchfinder one is interesting.
So, someone buys an Air King and walks out of the store without noticing it’s got the wrong numerals. They then carry on not noticing it and sell it on to a world renowned watch dealer who buys it in failing to notice it has the wrong numerals. So that’s a Rolex, the AD head office, the AD store and the AD sales assistant not noticing it, and then it gets better as the buyer doesn’t notice and sells it to a dealer who also doesn’t notice either. Am I the only one that doesn’t see something slightly iffy with this scenario.
If you mean the rehaut, this can‘t be aligned.
It‘s either wrongly laser- engraved (unlikely) or the dial is not properly adjusted - often after the watch has left the factory and unqualified watchmakers don‘t know.

If it's impossible to align it it seems weird that they manage to do it on many you see in photographs. I would find it strange that they would design something they have no control over.
Unnecessary pedantry. You understand what the issue is: when I align items I align them to each other- I do not say one cannot be aligned because that's incorrect and misleading.
I think I'll ignore your comments on this now as you're clearly just trying to be pointlessly argumentative.

I’m curious, how do you pronounce Palladium? Or do you spell aluminium differently?
But no Ohh, , just an O

20 brand new Rolex Datejust right from HQ with incorrect numerals on the dial.
All the same mistake

The dial/movement needs to be adjusted against the case...

Although I obviously don't know the history of it I don't see why there would be any reason for it to have been dismantled since purchase.

You can only align the dial/movement against the case

For the short time I have had the watch it most certainly brings a smile to my face every time I look at it
This off the wrist shot certainly shows the beautiful curves of the watch ..... which is on the left
