g340 posted his experience of having a GMT-C bezel insert falling out of his watch at an airport security check. He sent me the images to post on his behalf and here are the thumbnails. Larger versions of the images are posted at http://www.minus4plus6.com/photos/photo34.htm#ceramic


Has anyone else had or heard of this on other GMT-C's. Was there a resolution other than having an RSC address it.



Here's the watch head and the ceramic bezel that fell out. Good thing g340 found it before it broke.


Here is a close up of the watch head and the bezel sans insert


Here is the insert


... and the insert underside...

I look forward to reading about the resolution after this watch visits the AD and the RSC. No doubt a local watchmaker can fix this insert.



Here a schematic of the assembly for reference. The .pdf of the schematic posted in the US patent document is posted at http://www.minus4plus6.com/pdf/GMTII-SUBBezel.pdf
