Would This Be A Dealbreaker?

[Doofus]

This is a brand new Oris. Yesterday, for the first time, I noticed something, and now I can't unsee it. I'm pretty confident others won't spot it unless they look closely, and I'm not weird, so I can live with it.

I'm interested to gauge the level of obsessiveness in other PHers, though. As if I didn't know already

Could you live with this?

It's the bezel. The second hand is fine - because it's an auto, that sweeps anyway. The bezel isn't perfect; and when it's lined up at the 15 second mark, it doesn't line up at the 45. Similarly with the 0 and 30.

Are they 'all like that, sir'? Or is it just yours?

Dunno, it's a new 2017 model, launched in June. We had to order it from Oris, and I've not seen another in the flesh.

At full price it would be going back, if it was me.

That's kind of what I'm thinking, but I don't know if I can be arsed...

Or keep it as a bad bezel limited collector's edition, first batch only, really special innit.

I posted here a while ago about a Kickstarter watch I bought which had "Quarts" on the dial. That held its money - I got my purchase price back when I sold it. After 3 weeks...

Yes. The horizontal red line I added goes through the 15 second marker on the bezel, through the 3 on the dial, through the 9, and just above the 45 on the bezel. Likewise, the vertical line goes through the pip, 12 and 6, and not quite through the middle of the 30 on the bezel.

If Oris send me a new bezel, then fair enough. If I have to take it, or send it somewhere, I won't bother.

As I said in my OP; I can live with it (it took me a couple of weeks to even notice). I just wondered if that made me odd.

Have to agree with others that it's not that bad.

That scratchy-looking bare steel on the bezel to the right of the 12 would bother me more........

?

They are.
