I bought a new GMT2 two weeks ago. Z series.

Everything is standard, including the bracelet.

I noticed the other day a little wobble, 'give', between the bracelet and the case (at 12 o'clock, 6 o'clock is fine) (it is only evident if you hold the bracelet and case and try to move them; the bracelet moved up and down a very, very little). I checked with my AD and he said it was normal, and actually better than having a tight fit.

Do other members have the same 'problem'?

Mansion,
My K series GMT II is exactly the same. Never noticed it before till your thread. There is movement but it's very, very small.

I personally do not believe there should be any give between the end link to watch case contact. I would go try on a couple brand new one's elsewhere, just to make sure that holds true for all new GMT's.

Have a drink. Check for wobble. Have another drink. Keep drinking until you and the watch wobble at the same rate, then there will be no appearance of wobble.

If you get pulled over by the police, just laugh and say to the officer, "You don't have a Rolex, do you."

I've checked my SEL watches... this is the SEL we're talking about, right? None of them act like the SEL is part of the case (as in 0 movement). Each one has a slight amount of movement... very slight and equal between the 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock side. Have a look at other new SEL models and if yours is significantly more, see if replacing the pin on that side makes it go away.

"That Happened To My Date about a week ago ."
