SMP Bezel Alignment

[brianpelooza]

hi people,

i am having trouble with one of the TD (i will not mention who at this time). From the first qc pics i noticed that the bezel insert is not in line with the rotating bezel.... something more than one of you has come across as i did my reaserch in this and other forums. The TD insist there is no problem.... perhaps my watch lingo is not getting the message across, or i am a bit to anal. Thoughts and help tips are appreciated.

To my eyes, it looks like the insert and dial are lined up perfectly with each other, but the entire assembly is mis-aligned with the center of the band?

Good job man.... So if the TD refuses to change it there is a solution. I may have to take this route as I was told that this is a very common problem on the SMPs. Would you consider this an easy job? Or where you sweating while trying not to f&@k up the watch?

The cousins uk tool, how much was that?

Sorry, I can't remember the price of the tool, but cheaper than getting a watchsmith to do it for sure. It's an easy job though, just make sure that you rotate the bezel anticlockwise when removing it so as not to damage the click spring.

Did your TD change it in the end? I had the same issue recently but luckily they switched, but that linked thread outlines it pretty well.
