Pam 111m crystal distortion question

Do gen Pam 111m's have a certain crystal distortion when viewing / tilting the watch away from you at an extreme angle, say 140 degrees?

Viewing / tilting the watch towards me and looking at it at less extreme angles have no distortion.

It seems to look like the eye of a hurricane look? It looks as if the center is quite thick.

Normal?

Yes mate, Its a charateristic of the gen PAMs which has been replicated pretty well by the factories compared to before the new versions coming out last year.... There is a swirlly look at those angles to the eye created by the thickness and shape of the crystal... however the reps tend to offer less opacity within the centre of the swirl compared to the gens..

But gen crystals in addition to their shape and the champfer and in terms of their clarity and opacity vary in series and as the AR also varies within models and series then crystals do give a different look when studied closely.
