Hello,

I JUST purchased a new Submariner in Switzerland. Upon return I noticed that the bezel springs up and down when pushed on. Also, when looking at side profile there is a small gap (~1mm) between the bezel and casing. Is this normal!?

Will this be covered under the International Warranty? How do I go about getting this fixed?

Thanks to all in advance!

Normal....

Your bezel is sitting on ball bearings that are spring loaded. All you are doing is depressing these springs when pushing down..
Nothing to worry about!

Normal

Perfectly normal. Congrats on the Sub!

Thanks very much for the replies.

The 1mm gap still looks off to me...but I will inquire locally.

Thanks again!

Looks ok.

It's funny, I have a Sub 14060 and it does the same thing. I thought it was unusual, now I feel better.
And I got my first scratch! lol.
