A slightly more recent example of a watch that some believed to have been a mistake was an anomalous Nautilus ref. 3710.

The watch is known as the “Lucky Thirteen”
Can you spot the anomaly?
Amazing, especially if you consider the number of employees having handled this dial ...
the watchmaker could have spotted this mistake,
and then such a manufacture should have at least 3 more steps:
WR testing
QC
Packaging storage

The last one but this mistake is very hard to be discovered.

The next mistake from Omega is another one which appears on a small batch of pieces, before the error was noticed and rectified.

I give you a hint… if this Omega had been with the astronauts on Apollo 13 (Houston, we have a problem) then the crew would probably have had another problem.

Sometimes I think these are deliberate accidents to get some free publicity. These watches sell for more don’t they in the after market?

110, 100, 90, 80 gap seems inconsistently disproportionate to me

Edit. Nvm, my eye gauge is off today.
