Aproo "tells" Not So Telling . . .

I've been debating this with a forum friend.

I claim the bezel screws should be slightly recessed/sunken.

He claims every gen he's had in his hand, the bezel screws are flush with the bezel?

who's correct?

I think the screw heads are slightly different between the rep and gen... The rep screw heads are flat, while the gen screw heads have a very slight curvature. So maybe you're both correct.

LOL...I guess we are both right. So the gen is slightly recessed with the curvature being flush with the bezel.

Hmmm...I need to take a different approach to QC pics then. I've been religiously choosing ones with bezel screws slightly sunken

I'm not sure slightly sunken vs not is a QC issue. If there is a rubber o-ring under the screw head, then the amount of sunken-ness (to coin a new term) probably depends on how much they're tightened down. I.e. if you loosen slightly, they might go from recessed to flush.

Also, a nice anal retentive mod might be to slightly round over the screw heads and re-polish. For me, I don't care.

Thank you for this great information. I personally, enjoy my APROOs with a relume and service to the movements.
