I have just got my brand new gmt-c and absolutley love it! But I noticed that the center-link on the 6 o'clock side is not aligned, and it looks like its touching the bezel. Should it be like this or? What do you think?

No take it back, cheers.

looks weird

That's not right.

Have them replace it. Good luck.

First inspect the spring bar. If it's defective it could cause enough play to shift the end link.

I'd take it back if it isn't the
Spring bar.

I bought this watch from a seller here on forum, but can I send it in to Rolex myself or do I have to go to an AD? And how long does it take?

Rolesor · 17 October 2010, 02:49 AM

very minor but definitely off! have them look at it!

clum19 · 17 October 2010, 02:51 AM

have an AD take a look at.

sheldonsmith · 17 October 2010, 04:00 AM

I looked at my GMT-C and the end link is real close, but does not touch. If it does not impede the bezel being rotated, I would leave it alone.

Get a loupe and take a close look, but other than replace the endlink or the case (where the springbar holes are drilled) there is not much one can do. Yes, also have the springbars checked as per the comment above.

Definitely not right. Needs sorting.

The bezel is working fine, so this is only a minor cosmetic issue. But its easy to see and feels a bit annoying. I dont have an AD near me either, so not sure what to do. How many weeks will it take if I send it in to Rolex?

bmrisko · 17 October 2010, 07:32 AM

One of mine looks kind of like that as well. Never noticed it until I looked...don't think I'll bother with it as everything appears tight and the bezel rotates freely. Is it possible that your picture is making it worse than it is?

Puffy · 17 October 2010, 07:57 AM

Take it straight back to your AD. Don't touch the springbars or they might say you have done something yourself

Supermax · 21 October 2010, 07:04 PM

I think it is the bezel thats not aligned. On the right side its no gap between the case and bezel and on the left side it is 1 mm. What is normal? I will try to take some pictures to show you later.
