116610ln question
Is this gap between the case and the bezel normal??
(sorry for the iPad shot) Because I think the gap is very big but I didn't have the opportunity to compare it with an other one.I saw 16610 and i am sure it hasn't got gap at all!! |

Perfectly normal. In fact, it needs that gap. Where else will you collect old bits of food, skin, soap residue and general oils and fat for later use?

Same gap here, and as others stated above, it's normal, so no worries

Its different to the 16610 on the 116610 the bezel in on 3 spring loaded ball bearings hence the very very very slight gap

well basically any of them are long lasting and solid :)
for an all purpose an Explorer seems to be mentioned quite frequently. For me I like Divers so any sub or sea dweller fits my bill. |
