Please see attach photo. The watch came in okay, as I was turning the bezel, the pearl came off right away. Anyone can tell me how i can re attached the item?

I'm not very happy about it.

Use a cocktail stick to apply the glue try not to grt it everywhere but that's it,I'd prefer them to send it like this so I know I can make sure the bloody thing don't come off when I'm out and be a pearl down, hunting in parts section or putting in WTB adds.

Be careful not to cancel the bezel rotation and take out the insert carefully

Message your TD. They can probably source it for you at low or no cost to you since it's been happening to a lot of people

Lost pearl

I also lost the pearl from a sub I got from Andrew. I contacted him and told him about it, gave him the watch info he asked for and I asked how much for a replacement. To my suprise he sent me a new complete pearl insert at no cost. There are also videos next door showing how to do the replacement yourself but I just got a local jeweler to do mine for $25.00 to be sure I didn't screw up the bezal. My hands and eye site arn't what they used to be.

Other than the crappy pearl is this truly the best verstion of the Sub C? I had a BK Sub C and it was sub par just because the insert is not even close to Gen. Thanks for info.

super glue or crazy glue is not a good solution for these tiny pearls.
a good 2 part epoxy is the only lasting solution.
