If I bought a brand new Rolex Sub from an AD, and after waiting for more than an year it came with an Aluminium bezel because it was too hand to make the ceramic one and would take longer, I think the confusion would be the same.
Haha if I had been given a brand new 4/5 digit model with the beautiful matte aluminium bezel instead of a shiny ceramic one, I’d drop to my knees in prayer…
(Not to detract from your point lol)
