Planet Ocean bezel play

Hello everyone.
My first Omega PO 43.5 mm that I have bought just before Christmas. Brand new from AD. I’m very excited.
Today I have noticed that I can move bezel to 12 direction and some gap appear during this play.
I have no any devise to measure that play and gap, but it’s less that 1 mm for sure.
Also there is some backlash with bezel, feels like 1 mm.
Also bezel is not aligned with 12, half click required.
Not a big issues, but..
I don’t have that much experience with quality of luxury watches.
What do you think, is it ok?

Hard to tell from the pics (angle/parallax) but it looks ok to me—within tolerance. It’s important to bear in mind that, yes, Omega is a luxury label, but that’s mostly to do with marketing: it’s a mass-producing Swatch brand that cranks out watches in the hundreds of thousands. Their quality control is pretty darn good, but you cannot expect perfection.

Beautiful piece—don’t sweat half a mm of bezel play!

I have both the PLANET OCEAN in your post and also the same PLANET OCEAN in black. My black bezel is perfect and my orange bezel sounds like it is identical to yours. If I am being honest,it is a little disappointing but not enough for me to day anything about it.
