The reason why the bezel looks that way is because of the shape of the bezel, the angled corners overhang and so gives the appearance of not being flush with the areas along the straight edge looking like they are flush.
Not sure if you've already tried this but have you asked the TD about it? They might be able to ask the factory. ZF might have put some adhesive on the threads so compared to SF the bezel would be much harder to remove. I don't think the mid-case and bezel are one piece. That said, I'm not even sure you can change this condition or if this even needs correcting. Here's a gen PAM687 in comparison.
The alignment of the text to the markers is similar to your PAM685.
Thanks Mysterio! Sead is checking with the factory and getting back to me.
