Welp! I got the MK II!
Here's a few quick iPhone snaps:
Any MK II experts out there? I'm wondering, should the bezel be kinda "tough" to turn, and should it click, or turn "freely"? Thanks! |

I don't have MkII with a rotating bezel (I have a Vantage), but from what I've read on the MkII forum at WUS, the bezel on the LRRP is held in position by friction only, not a "clicking" mechanism such as a spring or ball bearing detent.

I believe you are correct. I asked the same question on WUS and that's the same answer I got. Thanks!

Thanks guys! I'm absolutely loving this watch! Seems to be very well built! And BTW, it's Dan's fault my non-Rolex acquisitions!

Gorgeous watch! It would look even better on a SS bracelet! The yellow seconds hand gives it character!

Looks like a very nice piece. I like the yellow seconds hand as well. If only they could put some blue in there to get all the primary colors.
