So, I've got this watch today, overall its pretty stunning except for that shitty bezel transition on 6 and 18. At first I thought that sharpie silver pen would fix it but then I saw the real problem with it.. seems like this bezel is made out of 2 parts and the "soldering" point is exactly where 6 and 18 are. They are not leveled. Bottom blue part is slightly higher (inside the cutout of the numbers of course) and that creates this annoying line. It's easy to see, just grab a needle and go through the cutout, you will see that its uneven. At first I tried to use some kind of very liquid glue to even the surface out but it didn't work and sharpie pen on top wouldn't dry properly. And then I found an old tube of chemical metal. And voila... really tiny amount to fill the unevenness, let it dry, paint 2-3 layers of sharpie on top and it's pretty fucking perfect. I'll take some daylight pics tomorrow cause I just did the number 6, will do 18 tomorrow since it takes some time to dry and I'm already half shitfaced from G&T and beer.
Sorry for the crap pics, but you'll see what i mean.
