For those who have got up close and personal with their 3717's...

is there a slight tip droop on the minute hand?

Thanks

Both the minute hand and the chrono hand are tipped down on the edge, this is supposed to give increase accuracy while reading it.

The tips of the hands bent slightly downward are supposed to minimize distortion from the edge of the crystal as well.

B- The hands are angled down to reduce parallax errors. Nothing to be worried about.

Thank you HA and Ubi,

A loupe is a dangerous thing sometimes. It reveals things that we wish we couldn't see.

On another note, I also noticed a different finish to the day/date wheels. The German day wheel appears to have a similar finish like the gen dial. The date wheel however seems to have a brighter appearance when seen through a loupe.

I dunno... I myself rather like the tipped down hands Interesting little character detail...

As for the datewheels- I notice the same...

Thank you so much Ubi. I am not against the tip down look at all. My comment was really directed toward minor flaws with a dial, AR coating, scratches on plexi, etc. that normally can not be detected with the naked eye.
