Not sure the strap can be considered a defect... happens to many textile straps. Obviously your OB can order another and maybe it will fit better... . Ditto for the bezel. My 321 has minute "air bubbles" within the enamel numerals set in the ceramic bezel. They'e unavoidable and fortunately only visible with a loupe / macro lens

I’ll have to check my 321 bezel now. You have me intrigued!

Good to know that I’m not the only one with the ‘air bubbles’

However, I don’t see it on my 321. My 321 is almost perfect

Omega boutique is helping me to sort out these issues though.

Otherwise it is an absolutely lovely watch!

Congratulations on getting your watch, but I have to say that from these photos I can't see the issue with the bezel, and I wouldn't dream of calling that gap between the strap and lug a defect!

I hope things are sorted out to your satisfaction and I hope you enjoy wearing the watch.

Look at the 5 at the 65 mark

Another 2 places have the same issue.

I’ve been enjoying it though. Amazing watch!

Ahhh, I can see the problem now. That would tick me off as well.

I hope you get it sorted out.

I'm hoping to get one of these watches, if I'm offered one I'll have to remember to look out for this!

The bubble on the bezel isn’t visible with the naked eye.

Only noticeable in photos or with a loupe

But the gap at the lug drives me nuts haha

I’m sure Omega will make it right, this is an obvious q/c issue.
Keep us posted on the proposed solution.

In the meantime enjoy the Snoopy, it’s still amazing ;)

LOL, listen to "ratty"

But I am talking about "micro" bubbles... you may be able to find one with 20-20 vision looking very carefully... but otherwise it's a non-topic in real-world terms

Still some arrivals at Omegaforums but not many. I've been told by my Omega boutique I'll most likely get mine in the 2nd batch of 2500 produced so Q4 2021 at the earliest. Realistically I don't expect to receive my watch until sometime in the second half of 2022.
