Loose bezel?

Quick question guys. When you push on different areas of the bezel on a your sub does it move at all? I can feel like the bezel is moving a fraction against the crystal. Only moves when I push right at 12 and 6 o'clock positions. What do you guys think?

Yeah...I can feel a little (very little) movement when pushing down. No biggie.

Perfectly normal. I was nervous when I felt that on my Sub the first time.

Mine too. Probably because of the slight "downslope" (not sure how else to describe it) of the case at 12 and 6, where there's a small gap under the bezel itself, between it and the case.

So, I have a 16610 and when I push down on the bezel it make a large click - almost a rocking motion with the fulcrum being the crystal. I find it hard to believe that this is considered normal. Is this something that I can fix? Or do I need to go to a certified horologist?

Mine doesn't...

But I don't have one of those fancy new ceramic ones that ride on springs..
