What is wrong with my Yacht-Master 16622 bezel?
Compared to others it seems to me the inner bezel insert is rather raised a bit more than it is supposed to from the outer bezel.

They all have the gap between the top of the bracelet and the bottom of the rotating bezel

Looks fine to me. Same as mine.

Looks normal to me too.

Hi! Can I see yours?

Don't you guys think it's an odd YM with a different silhouette?

I'm not talking about the gap. I'm talking about the bezel insert and the outer bezel. The bezel insert on my YM seems raised higher than usual from the outer bezel?

I see what you mean, it looks raised. I think these bezels can be separated in two parts so maybe it was serviced and not put together properly. Don’t have a YM to compare.

Yes, it looks like your insert is slightly protruding from the outer rim, it shouldn't be doing that. Here's a picture of my 116622. The insert sits lower.

Thanks for sharing. I wonder if there is something that can be done. When I reached out and showed it to the local RSC, the front person said it seems normal so did the technician when she brought it to the backroom. Not sure what can be done.

Looks like the outer bezel might have been polished how old is the watch did you buy it new.

I inherited it but local RSC said they never polished the bezel before. I hope they really didn't. I seem a few photos of Z series 16622 that seems to have a raised insert from the outer bezel too; there are some Z series 16622 that are 'normal' too. I feel quite bothered.

Myself would not worry about it.

I love the original dial, color scheme and hands on the YM.

Here’s mine...

M Series.

I think your watch looks great 👍

[cerendigit]

Your watch is beautiful.

Don't sweat it.
