Re: Loose bezel?
In Response To: Loose bezel? ()

: Ive just bought a new Seamaster Chronometer.
: Ive just noticed that the bezel, while
: working fine direction-wise, seems to be
: slightly loose when I press down on it. What
: I mean is, the tiny, tiny gap between the
: underside of the bezel and the surface of
: the casing. I thought the bezel made contact
: with the casing, but it dosent and it moves
: slightly when I push down. Nothing drastic,
: but id like to know if this is normal.

Mike,

It's hard to make a diagnosis via the internet, so I would recommend you let a local watchmaker look at it before you send it back for warranty repair. I just had my own Bond Seamaster looked over by my watchmaker (it just turned three years old), so I know my bezel is fitted properly. My bezel does not move at all or feel loose in any way when I press down on it, so if yours does then it's best to have it looked at just to be sure.
