I am wondering if it is usual for the new aerospace to have a bezel that wiggles. It basically is not super tight and will move about 2mm clockwise. Is there a quick fix for this?

I am also wondering if it usual for the crown to make a clicking noise when turned in one direction but not the other?

I just received it today.

Ive never played with an aerospace crown so I couldnt tell you anything about that.

The bezel should not have 2 mm of play. Any play should be negligible, a fraction of a mm at most. Chances are that the click spring under the bezel has been bent due to some type of impact. Its an easy fix if your AD can order you the piece.

This is what the underside of your bezel looks like, and the metal piece of the top of the bottom picture is what is probably bent.

I was playing with my Aerospace yesterday and there was no play in the bezel and I didn't notice any clicking when I turned the crown. I'm away for the weekend but I'll check when I get back and post if I find it to be different.

Mine doesn't "wiggle" but it does have a slight "play" back and forth before it clicks. Could be a loose screw.??? :wink:

I've had my 2010 for about 2 months. There is very slight play in the bezel, but not even 1 mm. The crown does click when turned clockwise.

Perfect, that is what I was hoping to hear. It is a damn nice watch I must say.

I appreciate all the responses guys. As for the clicking, it is basically the same kind of click you get when you change the date on an auto with a date window.
