Is this acceptable?

[Racerdj]

Looks good to me! Hard to find model too.

[handsfull]

No. I would have it corrected, but I have expectations for a 10k watch. It would be on par with having a straight dial, or a letter missing from the dial font.

It shouldn't need to be in a detent to hold it's position. Beautiful watch by the way!

thanks mate

Any more thoughts anyone?

In that case you need to go see it for yourself. Unless you're an expert in photogrammetry, it's not possible to tell if the triangle is lined up from that photograph.

I couldn't get bent out of shape over the triangle alignment. Even if it is perfectly lined up with a laser, as soon as you move your head one millimetre it's going to be out of line through parallax.

Get up and over it and Enjoy!

Look, for all you naysayers out there, when you buy a $10,000 watch, those details should be perfect. Enough with the 'get over it and enjoy' nonsense. There isn't THAT much real estate on a watch, especially a $10,000 one, so bezel alignment should be dead on if you ask me, same with the other posters about the date magnification, it should be uniform across all models for this price. I know the watches are mass produced and so are many other things that have simple esthetic qualities the way they should be.

I do have to agree it is hard to tell because of the angle, the picture would need to be taken dead square on with the watch.

Bro that ain't the least of your alignment problems!!!

Wait till you get married! Haha

[Silvio Mosiello]

If it bothers you def dont get it. To me, all new sub c lv's have a crooked cyclops ( saphire needs to be turned clockwise a smidge) and it bothers me. Does it mess with the function? Of course not. Its not a hard problem to fix by any means and is unacceptable if it is infact flawed.

Thanks for all your comments guys.
I'm delighted to be able to show you my new treasure.

It's perfect and I'm delighted with it

[Catyack]

To me it looks like the bezel triangle is slightly off to the right.

I can assure you it's in the middle - believe me I've checked !

I accept that taking a decent shot on an iPhone on a moving train doesn't portray it at its best

Glad you're pleased for me

I was . Congrats!

[2106]

Congrats! beautiful piece and glad the triangle lines up perfectly. its a lot of money so you should be 100% happy

[Chadridv]

I brought this up last week. After a trip to RSC they confirmed they consider this issue something they would recommended "fixing", which obviously makes the clear implication that if not properly aligned it is broken.

It seems relatively unanimous around here though that it is normal for this to happen, but I would not be happy with it.

The picture you post though shows the bezel lining up nicely to me at least. Looking from my phone, maybe I need to see it on a big screen.

Ultimately don't buy unless you feel 100% satisfied with the watch.

Eitherway best of luck!

Wow didn't read ahead! Congrats. That is an absolutely stunning watch!

[Gerry62]

Deep Sea ? I think is the most beautiful Rolex commercially,

the bezel triangle is slightly off to the left ?

mah ....... absolutely no problem

[Jd Swiper]

[QUOTE=Fleetlord;5517254]Pass. Never spend a penny on something you aren't 100% happy with

+1

I was about to post the same but I read the entire thread to check if someone else would have commented about this.

The OP would need to have a look at the watch in person and play around with the bezel. You can't just make a decision based on pictures alone.

[subtona]

congrats

[tanb]

Congrats Chris.....you've taken the plunge.

Next you'll be "worried" abt keeping time.......like me.

[mrlongisland]

Does anyone know if there is there a way for Rolex to easily fix this on the spot, or does it require a full servicing?

Thing is I have noticed the bezel triangle is slightly off to the left of 12 o'clock
Question is - is this within acceptable limits and am i being picky or would this do your head in and be a deal breaker?

Thanks in anticipation !

My D-Blue was bougt in my AD and it has the same isue. Don't worry and enjoy that piece of watch

[AF_Rob]

It looks fine to me... My bezel ring is off on my Sub and I cared for a little bit but I'm fine now.

I'm curious about this as well. Is it a quick fix at RSC?

[watchwatcher]

Yes it is.

[Afghanvet]

It looks great to me!

[Al1969]

Great looking watch! Good decision on getting it.

Congrats. I will say that my dssd bezel seems to always be turned every time I look at it. Thru out the normal course of my day rubbing against my shirt or jacket it gets turned. No worries. Gives me a chance to take her for a spin.
