Am I the only one who does not align the bezel pearl at 12:00?

All the photos I see have the pearl aligned at 12:00. There are even posts on the new ceramic bezels moving on their own. I wouldn't have any idea if my bezel moved during the day. I always leave it wherever I set it last.

I leave it wherever it is, until I take a picture, when I try to remember to reset it to 12.

Here is the solution.

Now bad mounted bezel inserts will be history.



Here is a lot of interesting things inside.



So I have to check what there is in the little box.



So now itīs just to glue it in place.



Here is the first one in place.



And now it line up perfect and you canīt see itīs repaired.



Thanks Rolex this couldnīt been easier, you have done it again.

Not uncommon, you might have the "bezel creep disease"

Are you sure the bezel is intended to move?

In case you did not notice - super glue is included in the repair kit. Buy one - you may get a personalized photo. I did, any I am just gleaming with joy!

If I notice it, I usually move it over to 12...... It's not something I give that much thought to since it really has no relationship to the inner dial..

When I photograph I always set it to 12 so that half the forum membership doesn't have a cow..........

My days of fixing the bezel to appease the crowd are at an end!
I proudly use my bezel all the time. I'm not going to hide it anymore!
And, I'm not wiping the finger prints off either!
