Gap between bezel and case?

[Digitaldorifto]

I recent picked up a noob pam177. It's my first Panerai and so I'm not very familiar with them. There seems to be a very very tiny gap between the bezel and case. I've read that on the gens, there is usually a gap around 10-11:00 for a watch maker to remove the bezel. Is it normal for rep bezels to not sit completely flush against the case?

all of my pams sit flush, but i've heard of some having a little gap... you could try to push it in... but otherwise, just leave it

I have not seen a gap on any of my reps or on gens? maybe I'm not looking close enough


do you have a pic

There should be a little arc/gap in the bezel at around 10-11 o'clock to facilitate the removal of the bezel. Otherwise, the bezel should be flush against the case.
