Deep Sea Sea Dweller goes into Hospital

[marke]

i eventually got to take my DSSD to Rolex Hospital yesterday to have the bezel fixed. the bezel is only meant to turn anti clockwise but i somehow have knocked it so it now turns both ways and the ratchet seems to have gone all funny.

Any way thought it would be a easy job for the rolex technician to pop the bezel off and repalce the parts no probs.

Little did i know it now requires major surgery for the bezel to refiited and for the mechanism to work correctly, apparantly it has to be set in a jig or vice of some sort, but they did not elaborate. Its a complete refit of the bezel assembley mechanism.

The rolex engineers have not had anymore DSSD's in for repair and have been asked to send the report on the bezel problem to Geneva.

Not only was this one of the first DSSD's in the Uk its also the first to be returned to rolex for repair.

I have also asked them to re-calibrate the watch as it seems to have lost 5 mins over the last month, which i feel is not good for this watch of this quality or value.

Apart from that i still love the watch to bits and felt naked when they took the watch from my wrist.

so i had to go home and put a green bezel sub on, now i match my dad who is wearing my 16610
