Sorry they all do that sir....?

Hi all

First post so be gentle with me

Earlier this year I bought my first Rolex - a new Submariner non date.

Didn't spot it initially in the shop as I had shiny new watch blindness but when I got home I noticed the bezel triangle does not exactly line up with the 12 o'clock marker.
After numerous attempts trying to rotate to fall bang on 12 and rotating the bezel against the stop clockwise the best I could manage is around a third of a second off.

I have returned to my AD who has sent the watch off to the RSC three times but it's come back the same every time. They are all like that sir has been the response.

Now I know some may say it's minor but on a precision timepiece I expect, well, precision and although the bezel isn't critical for function I would expect the bezel to align perfectly. Worse now I know it's imperfect I can't help noticing it.

I am about to sell the Sub because of a this and I now realise a Sea Dweller has a date but no cyclops so this will be next on my list.
Thing is all SD in shop windows that I have viewed appear to all have the triangle off to the left by up to 1mm or so.

Can anyone tell me if my quest to find a new aligned SD is futile?

Thanks in anticipation
