Wondering if any of you 42mm owners have this problem. When you align the bezel at 12 position, press down at 1 o'clock, is there any play in the bezel moving up and down, it feels like it is flimsy, you can hear it squeaking. Wonder if this is normal or not.

Just purchased a new planet ocean old series before the price increase, loving it so far except for the play in my bezel, will try to post pics, thx.

Not on my jumbo PO! Solid as a rock.

Not on mine. I find the PO to have a very solid feeling all round - including the clasp as well as the winding mechanism, bezel etc.

I just tried on a couple of PO's today and yes I do find it really flimsy. And that bezel marker doesn't even line up at the 12 o'clock mark. Not very impressed

I had a 42 PO. I never had a problem with the bezel. The bezels on both my Sea Dweller and GMT II have a little wobble to them however.

My PO bezel is solid, not flimsy at all and the bezel lined up perfectly. I got mine from DavidSW so Im 100% satisfied. And he even included an OEM rubber strap because he is such a wonderful guy!!
