Hi, I'm getting some side to side movement on the bezel of my blackbird. Is this normal? Any typos are the product of my stupid iPad self correction feature. |

Not normal - should be quite snugly in place. Is there any evident of missing/loose bezel screws? |

Agree, not normal. First thing id check is to make sure the screws arent loose. |

No missing screws. It's about a papers width of movement. Any typos are the product of my stupid iPad self correction feature. |

Maybe no screws missing, but perhaps the screws are loose. I'd check that. I don't think there should be any side to side play on the bezel. |

Seriously - A sheet of paper is about 0.1 mm thick... Not very much play. That being said, it still shouldn't be wobbly at all. If you're not comfortable tightening the screws yourself, bring it to a watchmaker with the proper tools. |

Personally I'd say 0.1mm of lateral movement in the bezel sounds quite normal. I'm sure I've had a couple will a very small amount of play like that..... |

If that's all it takes is to tighten a screw, I can handle it. I described the problem to my AD and he said it was normal. I just don't remember it being there before. Any typos are the product of my stupid iPad self correction feature. |
