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!!

316lad · 22 October 2011, 05:16 AM

Looks quite snug to me.

A better pic would help the 116610 guys and gals here though.

cgjane · 22 October 2011, 05:18 AM

Mine is the same. I wouldnt worry about it

TSW · 22 October 2011, 05:20 AM

Yes, perfectly normal.

DolphinV8 · 22 October 2011, 05:25 AM

same here.

gregvisser · 22 October 2011, 05:27 AM

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?

chicagofan · 22 October 2011, 05:28 AM

Looks similar to mine.

masterserg · 22 October 2011, 05:30 AM

Relax. It is perfectly fine.

α-ψ! · 22 October 2011, 05:31 AM

Thanks all !! Finally, mine comparing the side at 12 o'clock between the side at 6 o 'clock

Mine is .0000000000095cm higher on the 6'oclock side.

sellis · 22 October 2011, 07:25 AM

Mine has the gap too... very, very small and from the other comments, it seems perfectly normal. Great watch!!

Fiery · 22 October 2011, 08:22 AM

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

You definitely need to get that checked out by RSC.

Darlinboy · 22 October 2011, 09:49 AM

I don't think that's gonna be a problem. I've seen some that are much worse....

desmo996 · 22 October 2011, 11:35 AM

That's normal, don't worry about it.

dddrees · 22 October 2011, 02:28 PM

Does the bezel turn, does it work?

Looks fine to me.

-Alberto- · 22 October 2011, 02:42 PM

Looks normal to me.

Get relax and enjoy it.

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

globalmedia33 · 22 October 2011, 11:29 PM

Looks the same with my GMTIIC.

Any suggestions on which model to buy as my first Rolex . I want something elegant , long lasting and solid

ferrissteve11 · 26 January 2016, 03:28 PM

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.
