Panerai 508 bezel question...

true, its only a rep but this is definitely not the norm for PAM divers, they are usually very flush, even on the reps [emoji6]

My KW 508 looks exactly the same. I didn't notice it until I saw this thread. I even watched a gen video on Youtube, looks exactly the same as mine (unless it was rep but I doubt it, it was a jeweller's video). IMHO this ist just an angle/light trick and all KW 508 bezels look the same.

That's bad luck Steve, but can happen if you try to remove the bezel on some watches without removing the crystal. In your photos when you removed the bezel was the operation of the bezel the same as in this thread about Omega UPO https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...zel-on-your-upo-in-15-minutes-or-less.193285/ shame the pics have gone. if so the probable reason for your bezel sticking up is that the bezel spring is slightly bent upwards, you can solve this by carefully adjusting it so that it is flat. Another solution is to buy some black waxed dental floss, cut a strip about 10 inches long and holding both ends pull it under the bezel at 12 and pull down and cross it over at 6. As you probably know this is a trick to firm up a loose bezel, but in your case would cover the silver of the case. Just tuck the ends under the bezel with a razor blade. Also, why don't you explain to the TD what happened and ask them to send you another crystal?
