Got my watch (SSC293P1) delivered yesterday. I would say that I'm generally impressed by the design and overall look, which I really like ... except for the rotating bezel that I've found to be overly loose, really too much when compared to the one on my Citizen, which is stiff and precise. The bezel is so loose that it's almost disappointing for an otherwise well built and assembled watch. Also, while rotating the bezel back and forth, I can clearly notice that it slightly shift inside the dial, like if the bezel is not perfectly anchored to the watch assembly but has room to wiggle... This sort of looseness of the bezel might actually be caused by the associated crown, since that is also very loose in the first place... and I don't mean "smooth" (that would be a welcome feature), it's loose to the point that bezel sometime rotates just because of normal wrist movements. I'd like to know if anybody else has noticed the aforementioned issues with the rotating bezel, which - in my opinion - are hints of a cheap assemblying, well below the standards one would expect from a watch that normally retails for about US$ 250.

Yes... and that's what I was actually "complaining" about in my previous post! The bezel rotates way too easily... to the point that rather than smoothness, this is something more in the field of what I would call "looseness". I've seen a review on YouTube that pretty much confirms my findings! It's certainly something not to be worried about too much. However, it still represent to me a minor flaw for an otherwise very nice watch, especially for the price we had to pay here on Massdrop. It would probably be a different story if the normal retail price is put into the equation! For the RSP of about $ 250 I would expect a more refined craftsmanship...
