HI everyone
I just received my Airwolf Raven today and I am generally pleased
I just wondered if a slight slack in the bezel is normal with this watch.

Slack is relative, but yes - some movement is normal.

It's due to the rack and pinion method used to operate the slide-rule when turning the bezel. Too tight and the gears wouldn't move, so a slight bit of movement is perfectly normal. Any more than a mm or so and there may be an issue, so as Roff said, the definition of "slack" is all relative.

Thank you all. The Slack is less than 1mm perhaps 0.5 mm but you can feel it when pushed north-south east west gently.

It is a great watch and looks awesome.. my first Breitling!
