Hi Mike,
On a mechanical construction, wherever there are moving parts there is always need to have some loosening (play), otherwise the moving parts wouldn't be able to move. The amount of play depends on the precision and tolerance the design engineering dictated.
I only can guess that the play on your bezel could be at the max which is allowed by the design.
On my SMP there is also a small amount of play, but it doesn't bother me too much.
Regards, Baruch.
: I have heard this subject thrown around both
: here and on TZ for a while now. While some
: say that the bezel on a SmP should
: definitely have a bit of "play" or
: vertical movement when depressed, others
: claim that it should be rock solid, no
: "play" whatsoever, and it should
: be fixed. I recently had the chance to have
: 4 SmPs at once, all brand new, never even
: tried on. Without exception, each bezel had
: its own amount of play, moving slightly when
: pushed upon.
: So, can anyone offer more insight? For some
: strange reason, I am still not sure this is
: normal.
