Rolex Explore II 16570 bezel alignment
I work with someone who has a Rolex explorer II that he is thinking about selling. Very nice watch however ,under my discerning eye it appears that the bezel alignment is just ever so slightly off. I will try to get a picture but it is almost not even noticeable however it appears to be turned to the right maybe one third of one marker too far, if that makes sense .My question is is this normal and is it fixable or should I just not worry about it? He insists it was like this since since you purchased it. He said he never even noticed it until I pointed it out .
I appreciate any input or past experience with this |

I had a 16570 that appeared to have a misaligned bezel. Being OCD, I took it into my local watchmaker, he agreed that it was slightly off, and he re-aligned it (it took ~5-10 minutes).
The bezel still seemed off afterwards, he had an alignment tool that showed that it was bang on - but there was some sort of illusion with the bezel that never made it appear to be perfectly aligned. |

I recently purchased a 16570 from 2001 and to me my bezel seems slightly misaligned as well. Perhaps 1/4 of a marker to the left. It is a new factory replacement bezel as well. I’m not sure if my eyes are deceiving me! The OCD is strong...
