When I look at my 3 DM's there is a very thin line with a different colour if you look at the right angle.
Maybe its part of the production process and it can crack in some cases.

Could you please also post a detailed photo?
Is it exact the same small line as from user Calambres?
Any answer from SwissMicros?

Thank you!

It's not an issue, it's a feature to i.d. the DM in the case :mrgreen:

@all: many thanks for the photos.
My DM42 bezel isn't broken (till now), with a good magnifying glass I can see the
very thin construction line EM41 mentioned, maybe later it will grow?
If I would take a photo, it would be hard to see the line.
Did someone check inside the case, if this line/crack also is inside the calculator?

In any case, a statement from SwissMicros would be helpful.
