YES...the GMT hand is off and should be corrected by the manufacturer (or, in this case, the marketer).

Thanks for the replies, guys... 

Paxman- Thats a great comparison shot!, and for me it basically shows the issue...  $400 watch compared to $4000 watch.  Your Rollie is awesome.  Thanks to everyone else who posted, too.  Pictures speak a thousand words, eh?  ;)

I don't know if i'm expecting too much from O7, but i've basically 'given up' on them, as far as service goes.  This watch is a replacement for the first one I got from them (which I also had to ship back to Mitch 3 TIMES TOTAL), which had the same issue, just worse.  You'd think if someone returned a watch because the GMT hand was off (among other things) you'd check to make sure the replacement watch had the hands set up straight!!  Other than the GMT hand, the rest of the watch is fine now, i guess, so i'll stop complaining about it. 

Ofcourse, i tried to discuss this in an objective manner over on the Ocean7 WUS forum, but my posts were magically ERASED!!!...  so strange how that happens over there...  mistake.gif

It's not too much to ask that the hands align, all it takes is a skilled assembly facility.
You also don't have to spend $4000.00 to get it.



Notice how nice the hands align, the cyclops too.

If you like the watch it is probably worth sending it to someone competent enough to set the hands right so that you can finally enjoy wearing it!

That's a bummer.  My O7 GMT is spot on, but it did come originally with a bum bezel pearl so I had the bezel insert replaced.  I bet Duarte (NorthEast Watch Works) can straighten out that GMT hand for you.

Good luck!
