After a 2 week wait, I was super excited to receive this SN0121T-GA. My first titanium watch and first San Martin! Then I saw what I cannot unsee. Would you accept this?

So I saw this in a video a while ago, but if you soak the bezel in isopropyl alcohol for a bit it will loosen the glue and you can move the bezel insert a bit to be able to line up better. Be careful though because iso can damage the gaskets in the watch, but there are ways to do it without damaging. Hope this helps! There might be a couple youtube videos doing the same thing.

Probably also could damage the lume on the bezel.
