Why is the magnifier wonky?

I'm not interested in buying one. Just wondering why I've seen so many wonky ones (even much worse than this photo).

Are they fake?

Seems strange on such an expensive watch.

Most likely it's just the angle, in more expensive watches the cyclops it's part of the actual crystal but in more accessible watches the cyclops it's a separate entity that's UV glued to the crystal, so maybe that's what you see.

Part of the reason I’ll never buy a Rolex is that there are so many fakes, and the super clones can be scary close. This could be solved if the brands ADs didn’t sell everything out the back door to the grey market scalpers. But such is Rolex.

It will be the angle of pictures in most cases

As you can see it’s easy to make it look like it off if the picture is not taken Square onto it

It's not just angle guys. There's seriously wonky ones around.

How’s the one on this pic wonky? Genuine question.

It could be any number of things.

The watch could be fake.

The camera could have been a potato.

The seller could very easily have tried to poorly touch up a pic with Photoshop (ask me if that's happened to me before).

It's pretty much impossible to tell prima facie.

I'm not taking about photos. There are rolexes with wonky magnifiers. I've seen them in person.

I'm not talking about this photo. This is a stock photo.
