I think it's the bezel itself...

Hello,

I used to have a Seamaster Professional, and I noticed the same observation. I thought the crystal was crooked, but upon closer inspection, I noticed the bezel itself was a little loose. If you grasp the bezel with your fingers [like your trying to pry it off] and move it back and forth, you may notice the slight gap between the bezel and watch body. I've been looking at the Seamaster-Chrono in some stores, and I am checking to make sure the bezel is tight and is completely even around the crystal. It's these kinds of things that really bother me after a while. I know it may sound anal, but when you pay the large sum of money for a watch of this level, you expect it to be absolutely flawless. This is why it is hard for me to make a decision between the Rolex GMT Master II, or the Seamaster Chrono.
