I have the Seamaster Pro and I love it! The markers on the bezel line up perfectly on mine. Maybe the watches you've seen had the bezel slightly turned.
: Hello all!
: I have a problem. I bought a new Rolex Submariner about a
: month ago. I really love this watch, but there is something
: wrong, and I am having trouble figuring it out. I have read
: all kinds of posts on all sorts of forums, and I see that
: there is a lot of brand loyalty out there. I admit I am
: brand loyal too, but lately I seem to be in limbo as to
: what to choose. Well, not in total confusion, but we'll
: see. What's my bottom line? I have had the Submariner for a
: month, and now I have this ambition to sell it, or trade it
: for an Omega Seamaster Professional Chronograph. Why? I ask
: myself: "Why didn't I just buy the Seamaster Chrono in
: the first place?" Well, I have always wanted a Rolex,
: and now that I have one, I want something else. You know
: the saying: "You always want what you can't
: have." This saying sticks with me quite well. Also, I
: am not the type of person that can own a lot of watches.
: Besides, I cannot afford to buy them all! The reason I love
: the Seamaster Chrono so much is because if its large size,
: thickness, weight, looks, accuracy, history, etc... These
: reasons go for Rolex too. As far is accuracy is concerned,
: they are all great timepieces. I looked at a Sea-Chrono
: when I was X-mas shopping a few weekends ago. When I picked
: one up and held it in my hand, I was totally amazed at how
: heavy and solid it was. When I went to put my Submariner
: back on, it felt like a toy watch you buy in those red, 25
: cent toy machines at the K-mart stores. I am NOT knocking
: Rolex, but I am simply giving my opinion at the time. The
: biggest thing that bothers me about the Rolex is how light
: and flimsy the clasp can be. However, I love the design of
: the Oyster band & Oyster case. I imagine the Seamaster
: Chrono would take some time getting used to on a wrist, but
: after a while, you get used to it. Another concern I have
: is whether I will be satisfied with the Omega once I have
: it. Of all the watches I have come across, the Omega is one
: of the most solid. The heaviest watch I ever held was a
: Rolex president. I know it sounds like I already have my
: mind made up, but I find myself going back and forth all
: the time. This post is for anyone who has experienced the
: same types of concerns I have, and for those who currently
: own an Omega Sea-Chrono. How do you like them? There is one
: more question I have about the Seamaster: On all the ones I
: have seen, it looks as though the inverted triangle at the
: top of the bezel doesn't line up with the 12 hour marker.
: Does anyone else see this? I have noticed this on every
: Seamaster I have ever looked at. It almost seems like the
: racheting mechanism should be re-adjusted so it clicks to
: the proper spot at the 12 marker. The closest to
: "12" that I have been able to see, is either to
: the right "a hair", or to the left "a
: hair." This is my ONLY concern though.
: Thanks for your time, Brent Schultz
