It could be a variation. Just like how they have some with the Rolexrolexrolex rehaut, and some with the lug-holes(if my memory serves me right). The 16610LV is among my favourite references from them.
Then there are vintage Milgauss pieces without the milgauss printed on the black dials, and Cosmographs with Cosmog and aghs separated.
I also read about a Zenith chronomaster with an inverted marker at 4 o’clock on A Collected Man.
I could not confirm it, but i have a strange feeling that my SM300 trimetal, uses different grades of titanium on the case, and bracelet. The case seems like a significantly lighter hue to the bracelet’s titanium, although they are supposed to be the same grade 2 titanium. A matter of sourcing and suppliers perhaps.
I heard Blancpain bezels could come with cloudy or sharp numerals. A member mentioned this a few months back. I much prefer the hazy bezels, which remind me of a mysterious foggy lighthouse.
Have a great week ahead
Errors: Are they Intentional?
Every once in a while, we hear of errors made in watch production. Sometimes I wonder, are they intentional? Do you know of any watches with errors made in production and released to consumers? Do you think they are intentional? Here are a few: AP ROO Tea...
How is this a mistake?
It would have been designed that way. It doesn't look like a misprint and is very similar to the 4 on my Submariner...
It's not a mistake, it's just a variation.
At some point they changed the typeface/type design. Btw, my '83 Submariner has a 4 that is about half-way between sharp and flat.

Got a few more i thought about
Isograph was the hype for a while, and then it disappeared. Credit: Wristwatchreview Zenith Inventor. Very short-lived launch, one of our members was supposed to buy one, but it was not to be. Credit: ablogtoread Omega SM CK859. A limited edition or a car...
Interesting and potentially very fun thread! So here's my favorite 'mistake' of all, made by my friends at Patek and enjoyed by myself and very few other collectors for the past 4 years! :-)
Naming Ref. 5177G-010 after the "Cinque Terre," five world-famous small towns located one hour east of "Boccadasse" (a borough inside of Genova, and the actual location depicted on the dial!) is arguably an understandable 'mistake' by Patek, *precisely be...
Amazing story Fab
Yes great depth u have, after years in the hobby. I realized this hobby is not just about blind acquisition of hypebeasts, but chronicling the journey, discussing topics, and having a laugh sometimes. Like fine wine, this hobby mellows and becomes more be...
Not sure if one considers these as errors...
...but when I saw the first release of Ulysse Nardin's "Falcon Tourbillon" at one of the SIHH events, the watch was presented with a falcon about to land /perch on the right arm of an Arab. Here's the picture I took then. I was told that the watch was, ob...
Ooo now these lesser known examples surface
This is one giant community of observers, and many of times, just asking or a post with questions yields golden answers like yours. I believe I searched the web for error dials and never came across the Falconer and the Bushido examples, until you mention...
