question to sub c owners

i was looking the bezel at my sub c and i realized that at the side of ''12'' there is a gap between the bezel and the case that is bigger than the other side of ''6''.but it rotates normaly. I was wondering if that hapens to other subs!!!

Hi,

mine has the same gap at the 12 position than it does at the 6

at the top and the bottom there is a slight bigger gap that the 9 and 3 sides- but no noticable difference between the top and bottom on my 2...

This is a mechanical piece that has a ball on a spring that fits the indented part under the bezel, which is why it clicks twice a minute when you turn it. The upwards pressure will cause the normal amount of variance to appear as a larger gap if you look closely enough, given the tolerances of the bezel.
Short answer is as long as it isn't excessive it is probably normal.

Mine's the same. If you notice you can push the bezel down a little and there is some "spring" action. Yours may be able to be adjusted. I had a 16610 and the bezel could pop off easily and the tech at my AD fixed it easily.

On mine the gap at 12 is very slightly bigger than at 6. When I press the bezel at 12 it springs slightly while at 6 not at all.

my LV-C has this bigger gap on 12 than 6 too.. when pressing the bezel it also springs slightly wider on the 12 than the 6. my LN does not have this. yes it does slightly springs on the bezel too but evenly all around.

the LV is off to RSC, i asked them to line up the bezel triangle and adjust the springy 12 side. hasn't heard anything yet, but confident RSC will not dissapoint. will update once i get any news. :D
