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?

Like i said before...........this mistake is for sale for 254,600 CHF..........if it is from a lesser know brand value decreases or is thrown away so to speak!

Any idea here?

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

Edit. Nvm, my eye gauge is off today.

You are on the right track…

.......maybe if we made an HF watch brand advertise so much that even the Ants will recognize It and then sell all our early builds ,that almost all of us had,with the mistakes etc, for $$$$$$$......HF becomes billionaire !!!
