GMT Ceramic Bezel Tolerances
Hi all,
I was wondering if there’s any variation in where the colors meet (6 & 18) for the ceramic bezel GMT Master II. I bought a used BLNR and I’m starting to be a bit paranoid because the 6 and the 18 look slightly different than in the official renders. (See pics) Am I just being paranoid? What do you guys have on your GMTs? |

Where’s the date window?
The meeting point of the color transition should match the minute markers. It looks completely off to my amateur eyes. |

LOL, brain fart.
I see some variation in scrolling through images online. I think you’re fine! |

There’s a similar thread going about a members Sprite GMT bezel looking off. Not sure it’s an issue unless it really bothers you, but Rolex may not do anything about it.

I think you're ok and see nothing glaring, but the better aftermarket BLNR inserts are nearly indistinguishable from the genuine one.

Maybe you're over thinking it.

Let it go, there's nothing wrong with it.

Just posted on the same topic for my sprite, AD said I could have it changed but I'm coming to peace with it and start liking that it is slightly different ;) the change of colors is still perfectly aligned with the markers, it's just the 6 which position can vary so happy with it

 Mine is a bit off the 3 o clock marker as well on the date side, and was purchased fresh from my AD just a couple weeks ago. I think yours looks similar and on that alone I wouldn’t worry. If there’s other inconsistencies in the watch that keep you up at night, you can always send it in to RSC for a service for peace of mind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
