I bought this watch just a few weeks ago, the watch is fantastic, the dial, the strap, the SS bracelet. Superior finishing, great ETA movement......but the bezel to me is a bit lacking of consistency....when you try to move it is a bit poor in my humble opinion....

Anyone has experienced that ? Maybe in Pelagos or GMT BB is different?

Thanks

I have one with the blue bezel. Bezel's not quite on the same level as my Sub, but I wouldn't call it poor. Never had any problem turning it. Assuming you bought it used, what was the condition? I'm assuming it would vary from model to model depending on age and condition.

It’s pretty new, I could be comparing with Rolex smoothie bezel -:)

I also have an eta black bay blue, the bezel is very difficult to grip, once you get it going it feels nice and sounds good

I've owned two Black Bays from new. Both were a little stiffer when new.

The bezel has loud snaps/ clicks, and is pretty stiff. I prefer it over the sub bezel but you’re right the Sub is smoother.

Mine has the red bezel and is easy to move, great watch

Nah that doesnt seem right. My tudors red bezel is nice to turn, like almost satisfying in a way.

It is a great watch and it usually that way when new.
