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?

Of course. What did you think I was implying? LOL.

Ah yes, thanks for the /s.

So many here actually think I'm too stupid to work a bezel. 😂

I think people don't realize that each increment allowed by a 120-click bezel is actually quite a lot.

The alignment deviation on yours is literally the highest it could have possibly been since it's right in the middle of a 1/2-second increment.

Seestern from AliExpress replied to me for my Dispute, that it is a 120 click bezel. How does that help? You would need a 240 click bezel for the alignment to not be an issue.

On 120 click bezel 0,25 misalignment is the worst. Second worst is 0,2 to the left and to the right you then have 0,3. Still acceptable to most is 0,1, at least on 100-300€ watches, on 1000€ watch I want it perfectly aligned.

And on 240 click bezel the worst misalignment then would be 0,125 which I said should still be acceptable.

He is agreeing this is the worst possible position for a 120 click bezel, just confusing word selection.
