Notice anything in common between all these? The top bezel marker with the lume pip aligns slightly off center, just to the left of the top triangle on the watch face above the '12'. In my estimation it's about half a bezel click off, maybe a little less. Took it back to the dealer (bought from Tourneau), and they agreed with my assessment of the misalignment.


Just wanted to see what you guys thought about this.

Not making excuses, but there could be a number or reasons for this seemly common occurrence. All of them, in my opinion, to do with manufacture and allowable tolerances. Still, its not as bad as misaligned slide rule scales. That I can't stand. But there again that's harder to control than this issue, or so I would suggest.

If you have it fixed, what is the likelihood it will be returned as you expect? You will need to be very succinct about what your expectations are, give or take manufacturing tolerances and acceptable allowances.
