Am I the only one who doesn’t care...

About how my Submariner dial is located? I mean I’m into details and precision, but this totally doesn’t bother me and never did. But all pics I see here, the dials are always perfectly aligned. All ok. I don’t care. But just sharing. Normal wear for example. Never give it a second thought. The dial is simply where it’s at.

I’m really glad you brought this up!

I’ve been meaning to have a word with about your failure to return your bezel to the 12:00 position after use.

Many nights I have stayed up well past 3:00 AM gnashing my teeth and pounding my forehead against the floor as I repeated ask my self “WHY? WHY CAN’T HE FIX IT!?”

Seriously, it’s ruining my life.

I don't care about the location of your bezel nearly as much as your referring to it as a dial.

Please fix the photo you posted. Your supposed to take a photo of your watch only when it’s 10:11am/pm. LOL

I know what you meant about your bezel. It is all good. I sometime don’t notice its position until I take a photo of my watch or I hear the clicking rotation when it catches on something. Then I center it.

The dial looks perfectly aligned to me, unless you're referring to the bezel being rotated in which case my reaction is...

The SD43 is my first ceramic bezel Rolex diver. Prior to that was the 16610 Sub Date whose bezel rarely moved accidentally. I must say that the ease with which the ceramic bezel rotates on the new watch is annoying. I wish it was as resistant to accidental turning as the one on my old sub.

I’m not very anal with my watches. I’ve never ever timed them for accuracy. I wear them with and don’t worry about normal marks and scratches. But I do like a properly aligned bezel.

Thank you for those who understood my question. I am a Rolex enthusiast but looks like I got my verbiage wrong. Honest mistake. I’m a bit taken aback by the other replies. I always thought this forum was more polite. Perhaps things have changed recently. Too bad.

I really do not think people were purposely impolite rather just picking at you in fun. Generally speaking, people are respectful of others’ opinions. I apologize if I came across rude or insensitive - we all knew exactly what you meant.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. In this Covid situation, this forum is one of the ways people are connecting with others with the same passion. I appreciate everyone here.

I do care actually. If it is not lined up that must mean I am timing something... And it reminds me. I use it all the time. And line it back up when whatever I am timing is over.

If he can't tell his bezel from his dial, that means he's leading a tough and busy life.
Cut the man some slack.

Beautiful Sub, btw.

The dial is the round thing in the middle. Looks fine to me. The outer circle isn’t aligned though and that is really annoying
