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.

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.
