Anyone ever notice this 126710 Pepsi GMT bezel flaw?

I don’t really see the rehaut misalignment. If it was adjuster I’m sure the coronet alignment would be off. I wouldn’t say it’s “badly” misaligned. Also it’s less noticeable to me doesn’t bother me much. I’ll rectify it in a few years with a service

I looked at my BLNR and they are the same as yours.

That's a good point.
In theory the colour change at 18 should be directly in between the hour dot marks at 17 and 19. Ignoring how it falls within the 18 font.

Late to this, but I had the exact same question about my BLRO. Yours also seems to have the same additional "problem" that mine has--The 12:00 marker appears to not be evenly set in comparison to the minute trackers above it. I sent mine off during the pandemic and was told by RUS in Dallas that this is all within specs. Given the time away from the watch, missing it was way worse than these first world issues.

It’s very easy for the bezel to appear off center depending on a slight change in angle, or which eye you are looking at it with. I’ve found that some of my bezels have appeared misaligned because my right eye is stronger than my left eye. When wearing my glasses the bezel is aligned, when not wearing glasses it’s misaligned.

Funny thing is all these years with my previous black Sub before I got glasses I thought the bezel was perfectly aligned, and some of my others were misaligned. Got glasses and realized the damn black Sub was off center and the others were aligned!

This is spot on. Looking at a GMT at anything other than dead on center will give an optical illusion that it is misaligned. A slight viewing angle correction and you’ll feel better.

Insignificant minutiae.

Not to sound insensitive but... MATE YOU HAVE A BLRO! I’d take one flaws and all any day of the week. Try to focus on the positive! She’s beautiful..and if you don’t believe me ask how many guys here would like to take her off your hands haha Cheers!

My GMT Master ll BLNR is spot on even looked with a magnifying glass after you brought it up and it's perfectly lined up everywhere.

I will offer 12 million dollars for this watch.













Provided I can pay you balloon note over 500 years.

This is an older thread but IIRC the bezel does rotate on this model?

Therein lies the answer.

Rotate it to another position or 'wiggle' it slightly until it lines up? - job done.

Just wear and enjoy it
