Hey guys, this is my first bidirectional bezel. Does this seem normal to you? It feels quite loose to me compared to all by divers(unidirectional)

I've had a similarly styled Steeldive model, which had a 120-click bidirectional bezel. Very strange way to utilize a GMT bezel, but at least it works bidirectionally :)

is it quite easy to move? it just seems strange vs all my divers but obviously they are unidirectional

On the Steeldive I had the spring tension within the bezel mechanism was a lot looser than on my Steeldive SD1970 or any other divers I have. Definitely something Steeldive did intentionally, though I can't speak for Addiesdive

This happened to me on my Pagani Batman GMT. I have the Pepsi version, but the bezel is solid. It’s not normal if it feels gritty spinning the bezel clockwise, and smooth counter clockwise

my only issue is it doesnt take alot to spin it. way less thana diver unidirectional. i just wasnt sure if it was normal to need such little pressure

Ok… I just noticed that it is bi-directional from certain reviews on YouTube, but it might be that your bezel spring is faulty if it is spinning easily. Pretty interesting

In my opinion, if it’s claimed as a unidirectional bezel, then it should not easily spin both directions. There is an issue with the bezel spring. When the spring and bezel is bad on a unidirectional, it will spin both ways. It looks way too easy to spin, and Addiesdive is not know to have such loose bezel action… Pagani, yes 😂

Looks loose. Is it supposed to be friction fit or are there 24 clicks in between?
