Marine Finishing - Very Different Than Tradition or other lines

Interestingly, I guess the standards/quality is different for the Marine line versus the others? This is an older watch obviously since  this gen is no longer made, but I think it's very interesting to contrast the pics below VS the Tradition (which is my last pic here). 

The Tradition isn't perfect, but does not have any overt mistakes like these.

Poor finishing and poor quality control. You said it yourself "mistakes". The first photo shows a hand that has been mishandled. A tweezer that slept, something like that. This is an accident and yes,this is not acceptable,it shouldn't have left the bench...
