: I was recently reading a side by side
: comparison review of the Bond Seamaster 300
: vs. the Rolex Submariner. There are many
: such reviews out there but this particular
: one seemed very unbiased and interesting.
: Anyway, when it got to the part of comparing
: bezels, the reviewer noted that the Bond
: bezel has a significant amount of play due
: to the up and down movement in it's
: racheting system. Apparently, the Submariner
: is smooth and does not exhibit any play.
: Sure enough, I picked up my Bond Seamaster GMT
: CoAx and pressed lightly down on the bezel
: and found it does have very slight up and
: down play or movement. Not side to side but
: only if pressed horizontaly at about the 45
: sec position. Also, there is really no play
: when rotating in its unidirection. Is this a
: defect that should be checked or is it
: something that is just characteristic of the
: bezel system?
It has always been there on my SMP and is perfectly normal. I recently got my Bond SMP back from my watchmaker. After a full polishing and going over it with a fine tooth comb, the minor play in the bezel is still there. Had it been a defect, I have no doubt my watchmaker would have caught it and repaired it.
