Question to 16600 owners
My question is relative to the bezel. On mine (bought NOS a week ago), the bezel moves slightly on an horizontal plan: if I press on one end, it gives by about a tenth of a millimeter (if that) and the opposite side goes up by the same amount.
I discovered that phenomenon while cleaning the watch. It does not happen on my 16610 or 16710. Thanks for your comments.

My 16610 does not. Well, I have taken everything off and checked. All seems ok.
Edit: I have checked the 16610 again. It does very very slightly.

Verdict from the RSC at the Rolex headquarters: perfect bill of health.
Plus he congratulated me on my NOS purchase.

My Sub does it, ever so slightly. I notice it when cleaning it too. How about a pic of your new SD?
