It’s not really how it looks at the back, it’s that you can see the spring bar through the gap from the front. It’s far from unusual though, I’ve seen modern Omegas with worse (the Globemaster).
Can’t see much wrong with the back side of that Riviera.

Aah I'd have never have noticed it without it highlighted like that i just get drawn into the dial. How it looks at the back doesn't bother me especially if there's a practical reason for a slightly unattractive feature but that gap is visible. It's looks deliberate like it's just the end link on that side that's narrower than the others rather than just a poor fit. A shame when there are cleaner ways of creating easier spring bar access. I'll be paying closer attention for future purchases. Just checked and the Riviera 39 I'm after uses a proper QR system which is noticeable from the back but cleaner from the front.

I'd never really looked at the back of that bracelet closely until now. I tend to look at wrist shots more. I didn't go for the bracelet. Mine is on a QR croc strap with curved ends and looks nice and snug. I'm going to buy a dark red and a dark green patina QR straps for mine. I like being able to change straps regularly and i can use a spring bar tool but get nervous on my nicer watches.
EDIT: I've just seen the back of the next one i'm buying looks untidy at the back as well
