QC Bezel alignment Rolex Yachtmaster 42 Titanium

[p.zet]

Hi guys, got my QC and it would be my first rep watch. Clean Yachtmaster 42 Titanium.

The bezel is not straight, would love to be turned a bit counterclockwise.
Everything else about the watch appears alright from my perspective. As this is my first, I’m trying to determine whether this issue is enough to RL.
Can this be fixed or is it a normal thing i have to live with and GL it?

Hi buddy

It looks quite fine to me. The markers at 3,9 oclock seemed aligned and OK too. Thanks.

It's definitely off..bezel insert resets are a pretty simple endeavor however.
Just keep in mind if you RL... the next one could be better or worse.

 

[Reaps]

It's probably due to bezel slack. These YM bezels are bidirectional and not as precise as Submariner bezel.

Exactly THAT,
it's no different with my YM.
It's due to the bidirectional bezel (as @Reaps already mentioned).
I would give the watch a GL, as the next best thing could be worse.
In the end, you have to decide for yourself what to do; it's your money.

Thank you for your opinions guys, GL'd it.

@bcwatcher so if it will bother me, fix is quick and simple for a matchmaker?

Was a bit worried because I saw some other QC's of that factory and model, they were all lined up.

Noob question: The date changes 10 minutes before midnight, is this good/bad or standard for clean/ superclones?

10 minutes is fine. Rolex spec is within +/- 5 minutes of midnight. Ive never stayed up that late to see most of my watches change date.

I have a gen one (DJ). Changes 10 mins after midnight.
All my reps change perfect at midnight

Edit: Bezel looks fine to me. Its a rep. Its not perfect, even gen is not perfect. You should learn to accept this and be fine with it

 

[manuninja]

the bezel not aligned would bother me even in the gen. if it is possible to fix it easily I would take it, otherwise no.

 

[Rx4Time]

The watch is not exactly straight on to therefore the bezel will look slightly off. Please don't reject because of this as there is nothing wrong.
