Clean Submariner Bezel Play

[silver_alpha]

I got myself a Clean Sub 126610LN and it looks good. However, there is a bit of a bezel play when you press it down.

I look at it on side view and can see a gap between the bezel and the case.

Is this a CF issue, or did I get a lemon?

This gap is normal, I notice it on my VSF too

The gen has some play too, about 0.1mm of a millimetre.

See the last few posts on this thread were we have been discussing it https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...-ring-long-term.10548939/page-3#post-10976010

I have a CF 126610LV purchased around 3 weeks ago. Same thing , pressing down there is slight movement and sometimes a slight click. Reading some gen forums this is also the same on ceramic gen’s. I’m no expert but something to do with the spring and bearing system used to support the bezel???

Appreciate you. Can you teach me how to post the photo like that?

Thanks! This is helpful. Same case as mine, the gap is about the thickness if a 70gsm paper.

Hi Alpha,

Same issue here, and it appears to be quite a universal issue, so I wouldn’t stress it.

I believe you go over to ClickPix. Upload your images, and choose the option BBCode Full Image code, copy the links and paste them in your reply.

You're right. I may be overthinking. Haha

No worries at all, I’m glad I could help.

Yes haha. I think at the end of the day, we pay a fraction of the price of Gens, so a flaw here and there is no issue.

Especially when some Gens have the same issue haha.

I'm not sure if I'm 100% correct but I think I was told by a Rolex watchmaker that this vertical game has 2 goals.

1. That the bezel rotates smoothly
2. Ceramic is hard/scratch resistant but brittle. So it should be some kind of shock absorber / suspension

Makes sense. I haven't held a gen Submariner so I am counting on those who've had the experience.

Thanks!
