Woah, hold on a second, you can't expect anything to be absolutely perfect - how is one example, out of the many thousands of GMT IIcs produced in the past few years, suddenly an embarrassment? Anything manufactured is prone to failure, no less so than a complex piece of engineering like the GMT IIc - the bezel, as the technical drawings posted earlier pointed out, it made up of quite a few separate components - all it takes is for one to fail. As a general rule, the GMT IIc has proved itself to be a tough, versatile, and accurate mechanical timepiece - one failure shouldn't ruin its reputation, or the company's.
