None of my watch 12 o'clock bezel markers line up perfectly with the 12 o'clock hash mark. My friend early 90's GMT is same. Sounds super picky, but under a 'loop', mine are approx 1/2 second hash mark off? 2 came from ADs brand new, so I know dail is not aftermarket. Anyone notice same? As precise as they are, just seems odd?

Darn you! I had to get out the loupe and check!

My GMT II lines up perfectly.

My Sub Date looks like it is...but might be a hair (not a JJ Arm hair) a thin hair off...but even with the loupe it's close.

Nicko · 17 January 2010, 07:48 PM

Mine line up perfectly!

Speed · 17 January 2010, 08:03 PM

Are you a happy guy Steve?

I am. Whew!!!

swatty · 17 January 2010, 08:04 PM

All perfect here

Tombstone · 17 January 2010, 08:10 PM

On the following yes GMT IIC, LV Sub, Sub, & YM.
No on the Sub no date slightly off.

dkpw · 17 January 2010, 09:06 PM

Yes it's perfect on my Sub - but I did have to reseat the bezel following Jocke's tutorial. It was half a second off when I first bought it.

To funny Bill!!!!

The 2 I have travelling with me are perfect!!!!

buz-lh · 17 January 2010, 09:36 PM

Thank God my eyes are old and a 1/2 second doesn't bother me.

steengeo · 17 January 2010, 09:38 PM

My "Bluesy" lines up perfectly, BUT my DSSD is not hitting the 12 mark as it should. It's slightly off.

Have been in contact with the local AD, but currently they don't have the tools to correct this on the DSSD - I will though, get it corrected as soon as it is possible.

on42 · 17 January 2010, 09:39 PM

No it does not,and its new!.Should i be be concerned ?.I have read Jocke's tutorial ,but i think i should do this on a brand new watch.

Thanks

If I was you I would put the loupe in a draw and forget its there, and just wear your watch for the next few decades in good health, thats far more important trust me.

Doug507 · 17 January 2010, 10:59 PM

My GMT II is spot on, but my Sub is off, and it has bugged me since I got it. How hard is it to install a bezel insert correctly?

Art 1 · 17 January 2010, 11:00 PM

Some do, some don't.

Dan Pierce · 17 January 2010, 11:54 PM

All mine line up. If not, it's a quick fix by my watchmaker.

Spot on, Peter!!

Mosco · 18 January 2010, 12:33 AM

My DSSD is spot-on!

CoopJr · 18 January 2010, 12:36 AM

To my naked eye, my LV is spot on. When your watch goes in for servicing, as the watchmaker to adjust the insert.

Rscmaine · 18 January 2010, 02:04 AM

Best alignment I ever had was on my Datejust

TimeOnHand · 18 January 2010, 02:07 AM

No problems with mine... but I change my own bezel inserts all the time!

How true. I need not to obsees/compulse about such minor things

I am putting the silly loupe in the drawer <slamming of the drawer shut>. It doesn't bug me...........it doesn't bug me....................uh oh it's already started to bug me again.....

If it helps any......... remember, the bezel actually has no relationship to those minute markers you are concerned about.....nothinng....

You never correlate the position of the bezel with any of them, so whether they align or not is simply a personal OCD issue..

Whoa, that is way off. I would take it back to the AD because that would bother me immensely! My IIC is dead perfect, thank goodness.

sea-dweller · 18 January 2010, 02:43 AM

I don't have a loupe, so it's hard to tell.

LouS · 18 January 2010, 03:17 AM

It does not line up on my 16710. Used to bug me a fair bit, to tell the truth, but I've overcome it with intensive therapy (got a Milgauss to take my mind off)

I would suggest getting watches with click free bezels!

That means vintage!
