Robse1 70 Posted January 5, 2018 So where to start? I picked up the Pelagos from TD, everything is fine and the watchbis great. Now i found the time to open the caseback to make a „new rep. check“ - One screw of the Movement holder was not really tight > fixed. - There were some Metal shavings from the productions hanging on the Case where the Stem is and the HEV > removed > fixed. - Some litte dirt, nothing special > fixed - Gasket bit dry > fixed So and then i checked all the other screws if they are tight...but then there was this one screw...i put only a minimum force on the screwdriver and it was loose....wtf? thats not normal, ok let‘s see whats shamboozeling there and i found out the screw was broken ... it was holding only a little bit and so it was only a question of time when it falls out. Is this screw important guys? the head of it is off but the rest of it is stucking inside... here some pics...don‘t know if its a serious problem, watch is running gerat and nothing loose. here you see the „hole“ under the screw from the movementholder. ( screw head missing ) here‘s a pic from the screw head... here is where it should be oh and some metall shavings i removed Share this post Link to post
LaPavel 0 Posted January 6, 2018 Offtopic. How feel has bracelet? Is it solid and gen like? Has bracelet gen click sound? Thank you Share this post Link to post
ShovelnTC 31 Posted January 6, 2018 Mate I believe that screw is holding the movement in the movement spacer, (there will be another on the opposite side) many times the movement is quite tight in the movement spacer and some watches don't even have screws securing them but it would depend on how loose it is whether it will cause any concern. I'd just be looking to see if the movement is properly seated by looking through the crystal and if it looks OK then I wouldn't be concerned. I'm sure some of the guys that do more tinkering than me will chime in If I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post
Robse1 70 Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) @LaPavel i‘m sorry i never owned a gen but it feels very good, the clicking of the bezel ( i think you mean the bezel ) is good also @ShovelnTC Thank you mate for your quick answer:)) , it looks every thing fine and nothing loose, so i think i dont have to be concerned:) *oh i forgot to say it‘s an A2824-2 Movement Edited January 6, 2018 by Robse1 forgot the Movement type Share this post Link to post

LaPavel 0 Posted January 6, 2018 Ou, I mean clasp click and bracelet solid feel... Share this post Link to post
GenTLe 1,510 Posted January 6, 2018 As ShovelnTC wrote, it's one of the 2 scres that keep the movement attached to the holder. I've had a similar case on my V&C Overseas. It is possible to remove it and replace with another one, but it will need the movement to be removed and the same for the hands and dial. If it is keeping its position regardless that screw, keep it as it is. Otherwise do it a service and in the meantime take the screw out Share this post Link to post

LaPavel 0 Posted January 6, 2018 Asian rep clasp has usually poor feel. I have spectre v6f and clasp is very bad. The spring in the clasp ( buckle) is loose, not stiff and has a bad sound. BP air king clasp has bad made with not click feel. Best clasp has noob for me. Very solid clasp with good sound. Maybe I am from OGCCD, but I really like clasp with good click sound Share this post Link to post
Robse1 70 Posted January 6, 2018 Well the Clasp is very good imo...ceramic spring balls and it clicks very strong and is holding absolutely tight and perfect. But the ARF Clasp on my 126600 SD 904L is a dream, never had a perfect clasp like this. so enough of clicking clasp‘s an rotating bezel gen clicks haha Share this post Link to post
