This one has the nickname the “APH” Daytona.
Amazing!
The defect is the design used for cliché plate itself !
It may happen, but if they have build the chole watch, this means they intended to sell as is...
Yet, the laser engraving being so crappy, are you sure it's a Gen?
It look likes it lack a laser pass:
We can see the outlines and inner lines engraved, but not the slight recess inside the letters.

Guess the glitch
I won't play this one, since you already told me...
But no doubt it has been made on purpose,
and I suspect you are the designer

who else?

This isn’t a fake Rolex!

It holds the nickname the “APH” Daytona because the “Cosmograph” signature on the dial features a gap between the “Cosmogr” and “aph”.

This defect is easier to understand since "Milgauss" is pad-printed in a different color.
Were these 3-6-9 indices lumed originally? These are so spectacular without lume ...

Thanks L.,
actually, I've already studied this one buddy,
but without these applied indexes it wouldn't be the same
