Some play on new GMTIIc?
Hello guys
Sorry to disturb; New Rolex GMTIIc: There is some play when I move horizontally the bezel! I know that's is not done to move that way but it is a little bit "booring" for a bright new true Rolex! Is it normal or do I have to go back to Rolex to tight it (if it is possible-?-)? On a friend's Pepsi, the Bezel is harder to turn, but no play at all! Thanks in advance Mickey : |

If I remember correctly, this topic was discussed a while back and I'm pretty sure it's normal. Mine has a small amount of play in it. It's all good

Sounds normal to me also, The ceramic GMT has a different Bezel design that does have a little movement.

Free play meaning the bezel can move slightly left or right?

That is correct plus very slight up and down its now on a ball bearing mechanism but as long as it turns freely why worry.With quite a few posts lately about why the bezel triangle does not line up perfectly within a cats whisker of the 12 o'clock marker. Where in that position in reality bares no real function in the working bezel use in Sub or GMT.

Bezel free play, horizontally in all directions, slightly! But anyway, doing well his duty!
Could a Rolex service center tight it a little bit, keeping it turning one by one ,with the crispy sound but with less noticeable play? Anyway, thanks guys for the quick reply ! Mickey |

This "play" is fairly normal with most of them.
