        I took a picture under a macroscope: Slight tilt of 20 deg to show the two connection points. This is a thin connector right at the 9 o’clock position on my Solar.

          @Todd-Danielczyk And I also have that line - the solar connector. Not a solar watch = no connector / no line!

            @Todd-Danielczyk You are correct; there is a line, but it’s very hard to see. You have to look at a specific angle and take a close-up shot. /correction

              @Swaddy61 I am editing this post as I was able to see a line when I tilted my watch as was suggested here. My watch is Vertical Mammut X. Great watch btw… Sorry for confusion.

                @tEhNoDrOmE When I first got the watch I saw a thin hairline at the 9 o’clock; I was concerned that there was a defect of the sapphire (chip/scratch or delamination from the watch body). I looked at it under a scope and realized it was an electrical connection to the solar panel.

                The line runs vertical and has two termination points perpendicular to the bezel and I have seen it on all the standard Solar Verticals I have seen (haven’t come across any of the edition watches so I couldn’t say for sure with those).

                    @tEhNoDrOmE No problem and it is good to get this answered on the forum. Trust me, I was confused when I saw it as it only shows up when the watch is at a certain angle. If we have questions, others will too! 😉

                      @Todd-Danielczyk Like you said it has to be tilted in order to see it. Thank you.😀 20240122_093144.jpg
