Just received the 41mm black SMP sword hands from Josh ($218 version) and it had a very misalligned bezel, but the watch is very good--
The bezel pops off rather easily, and the spring stays put, so I easily fixed the bezel issue. Just be sure not to lose the little post that sticks up at the 11 o'clock position--it will fall right out, and be impossible to find on the floor. (Believe me on this).
The bezel insert is easily pushed out from behind once the bexel is off--it's attached by a flexible rubber type glue, and is easily repositioned correctly, I used a very tiny bit of Gorilla Glue, and most of the still-tacky original glue. The fix really improves the look of the watch.
And my jeweler, who just resized the band, was excited to see one of his favorite classic watches, he complimented me on a great watch.
Of course, it's heavy, substantial, and he certainly had no reason to doubt it was a gen. It's nice to have a watch that's a classic, but that strangers don't automatically question because there are so many knock-offs of.
