So, I am lusting over 389, but I am seeing a problem which really bothers me. I have examined this watch from AD and boutique and I have studied countless pictures online and I can say that the bubble markers on the bezel don't line up with the markers on the dial. I don't think it can be fixed with re-aligning the bezel. Typically I see that 30min hole is slightly off, sometimes 15min hole does not line up when all other holes line up. For 389 owners, do you have this problem, does that bother you at all??

There is an additional problem that you will see on a lot of the 389's that have been worn and are up for sale used. The black ceramic bezel insert scratches very easily. That has been noted in several of the on line reviews.

Yes. I noticed that many previously owned 389s had scratched bezel. But despite all that this watch oozes coolness for me and I am pretty sure I will get it.
