Icon4 Rolex Deepsea possible problem - please help

I have had my Deepsea for a month or so now and I love it. I have been giving it a good old clean today and I noticed that when I press down on the bezel in between the 7 and 8 o'clock it seems to click and feel a bit loose!!! Can someone please put my mind at rest, is this normal???? Help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Jimmy.

Oh no..... That IS a problem, a big one. I am sending you my address, mail me the DeepSea immediately and I will take good care of it for you.















Perfectly normal, mate. Nothing to worry about

I have a feeling its where the mechanism is, i.e. where the clicking sound comes from as you turn it! Not 100% though! Ive had a few Omegas and Breitlings in the past and they felt a little lose on one spot but never made a clicking sound!!!

Oh well sounds like thats what they are all like. That's something less to think about!

It happens to my SeaDweller as well. So I'd say it's normal

Or maybe it means that both of you are having the same problem?

I never noticed, or paid attention before this thread. Mine does have a little "give" when you press down. This happens all around the bezel.

I was curious and checked the Sub and GMT, but those bezels are more firmly set.
