GMT Bezel question
I have a couple of GMT ceramic in my collection along with a couple of Submariner Ceramic. I have noticed that there is a play in the GMT bezel vs. Sub bezel has no play at all. Is that relevant to my watches only

That's really interesting...any reason for the play in GMT versus the Sub?

.
24 clicks for the Gmt bezel and 120 clicks for the Sub bezel. The play being between 2 clicks have more amplitude on the Gmt than on the Sub, reason why you feel no play on the Sub. |

Besides, the GMT bezel doesn't have to be perfect, it's for reference. The Sub bezel, that's another story. You don't want your dive time to be "eh, that'll do".
