Did this on the AP subforum so I figured I should do it here too since I've had this issue myself on different watches.

If you've owned/own a Sub-C or a GMT-C (with the ceramic bezel), was/is your bezel ALIGNED?

Trying to gauge what % of bezels got to the end user being misaligned.

NOTE: You can pick more than one choice from the poll, this is for people that have more than 1 of these watches.

For me, I own 2 GMTs and one of them came misaligned. Own 2 Subs and same thing, one of them was misaligned. 50%.

My sub was misaligned. K serial 16610 - 2001.
It's at RSC now getting a full service and will be
the first thing I'm going to look at when it comes back.

Dead bang on for both my Sub and GMT.

airchitect · 23 January 2014, 08:49 AM

Funny enough...... Most of the preloved Gmts ive seen at ADs are horribly misaligned. Whenever i say something they look at me like i have horns.

thsiao · 23 January 2014, 08:50 AM

Crazy story... before I bought my YG GMTc I checked two out at Geary's in BH and both of them had the bezel misaligned. When I purchased mine through DavidSW I was praying it would be aligned... I guess I didn't pray hard enough.

I am confused. 16610 was a Sub-C?

brandrea · 23 January 2014, 09:08 AM

captkevin · 23 January 2014, 09:37 AM

Sorry for dumb question but what does it mean for a bezel to be misaligned?

Roller07 · 23 January 2014, 10:04 AM

Perfect. Just like it should be.

I guess I just don't see how a rotating bezel can be misaligned. Just rotate it until it is aligned. Unless I'm missing something. I'm learning.

mailman · 23 January 2014, 11:24 AM

Yep on both Sub C's I've had

Try looking up at your your watch when it's on your wrist from 6 o'clock to 12 and see if it lines up that way

Rickn · 23 January 2014, 11:28 AM

When I bought my sub I made sure it was all set perfectly. 9k is too much to spend for a flaw

Rashid.bk · 23 January 2014, 11:50 AM

My Deepsea and GMT2c = perfect, via one of our TRF sellers.

HL65 · 23 January 2014, 12:00 PM

Both my 116619 and 116718 perfect!

Rabanjr · 23 January 2014, 12:07 PM

My former GMT C and my current Sub C both spot on.

I just checked mine - it says 10 minutes to one.

yld2rob · 23 January 2014, 12:28 PM

Both my GMT and two sub c are spot on. Of course I checked before I bought.

Perfect 116718 and 116610LV from the get go !!!

up2nogood · 23 January 2014, 12:36 PM

I almost bought a 116613, and did not due to the bezel being misaligned. It lost the AD a sale as I bought YG model while OS on business instead. Kinda glad it happened, saved me a flip. 116618 was perfectly aligned.
