: I've owned this watch for 3 weeks now and have
: noticed that there is a little bit of play
: between the bezel and body of the watch.
: More specifically, you can press down on the
: edge of the bezel and there seems to be
: .008" of play or so. I don't remember
: if the original condition was like this but
: I bought it from an AD. The bezel still
: rotates freely.

: Is this normal? I would think that Omega would
: keep tighter tolerances.

This is normal as long as the bezel doesn't appear to be exceptionally loose. It should definitely require some force on your part to get it to move and shouldn't move if you just tap it lightly with your finger. My own bezel has a slight bit of play in it, but my watchmaker advised me that this is perfectly normal.
