Repair question
Greetings everyone. Having a problem with my sub-C and I'm not sure if it's something I can fix on my own or will need to bring in for service, so I'm asking the experts.
I attached a picture and I'm sorry for the poor quality, but it was done with my iPhone. Essentially, the screw closest to the glidelock (you can kind of see it by my thumb) appears to have come lose and is preventing me from pulling out the link to adjust the bracelet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. PS - The watch is 2 1/2 years old, so the warranty is no longer valid and I'd really rather not pay to have it fixed.

It might be just a minor thing.
Agree, take it into your AD and have them take a look at it.

Can't get to the screw.
It popped out and appears to be in the track within the glidelock, so I can't even pull the bracelet out of the clasp to get to it. I've pulled on the bracelet with some pretty good force, but don't want to keep doing that for fear I'll cause some more damage. Sorry if that doesn't make sense.

So you have a $8k watch which needs a minor adjustment from someone with the know how...you can't fix it...but you don't want to pay to have it fixed?
What could it cost-even if you had to pay? $20...max? |
