It's normal. I posted a thread on my hulk few days ago exact same problem. The dial is slightly off that's all

This view would imply no manufacturer is credible. Automobiles for instance.

Yes, and people who's view "So what it's not perfect" IMO are wrong. If all thinks like that we wouldn't be progressing.

Don't look at the alignment of the crown on your rehaut then - that'll make you want to jump off a cliff!

ha, thats typical rolex sloppy build.
just rip the insert out and re align it

did 2 this week.

gaeleus · 20 October 2018, 02:57 AM

This is good alignment. Enjoy your watch and don't look at it under the loop. It'll drive you crazy. These things have flaws in them.

Buzzlite · 20 October 2018, 03:16 AM

Check the crown on the rehaut. The dial is most likely slightly off center which is making the bezel look off. Nothing to worry about and is considered normal

I even see it not under a loupe. I am torn betwen “I am am a crazy person and this doesn’t matter” and “I paid a lot for this, the AD should fix it”.

Good tip, but the crown is perfect. Hmm...

Look carefully at the hour marker line. Use your camera on phone to take a macro because your eyes are not perfectly center and it could appear in line when it's not. Check out my post. You can see mine is off to the right. It makes my bezel seem out of allignment as I am matching to the hour line on the dial

Maybe there's parallax, but if not the bezel is very clearly off-center. And maybe that's considered normal, and yes it's only off a hair, but it's *very clearly off-center.* Mis-alignments like that should never leave the factory.

Buzzlite · 20 October 2018, 03:28 AM

Here is mine. From some knowledgeable people that posted in my thread it is very normal to have some slight misalignment on the dial as there is a small amount of tolerance.

Rotate the bezel a full turn counterclockwise and an extra click. Return back to parade rest. Do this 5 times. Repost a picture of the watch.

Enjoy paying for flaws! Its part of the game.

Brazil · 20 October 2018, 05:04 AM

I have the same “problem” with my subs, although my BLNR seems to be perfectly aligned. I obsessed over this for like 2 days and then got over it!

Uggi · 20 October 2018, 05:12 AM

It's definitely off a bit. Nobody can sensibly deny this as it can be seen clearly by the naked eye.
Whether it matters or not is a different question.

Buzzlite · 20 October 2018, 05:16 AM

When it's time to send for a service point out this and ask for it to be fixed, at least thats what I am doing. I wouldn't send the watch back to RSC because of this. It will most likely come back scratched. The less a new watch is opened the better. It can be sorted at service time.

It is misalign. Maybe send it to RSC and try to ask them to align it better. I know how it feels recently been collecting Seiko and they have the worse chapter ring alignment.

My two bobs worth, from the original picture it does look off. I dunno if I would have noticed it myself. After a coupe days I would have probably learned to live with it. But I can understand why it would be bothersome. The best advice was to get it repaired once the watch goes for service.

As to whether this is a normal occurrence I don't know, but it should not be. If you are expected to wait 2 years for the watch, pay a premium price, well then you must provide a premium product with extreme high tolerances. For those who put up with the irregularities well perhaps they have bought into feeling it's a privilege to wear Rolex and if there are flaws you should just take them and count yourself lucky you have one.

Very minor.

It seems that the crown is off as well.

It's fine. Stop worrying the guy. Let him enjoy the watch. If we all looked at closeups to that extent I bet you we all find things like this. It could have been the camera angle also.
