I just put a few dabs of epoxy down and let things sit for about 48 hours. It really tightened things up. Feels gen now

Where did you put epoxy? What's the issue exactly? It has a soft click so wouldn't the click spring just need to be bent further out to increase tension?

I just popped the bezel off and put a pea sized dab on the retaining ring at the 12, 3, 6 and 9.

Everything is all firmed up! Feels gen

@Om3ga_guy sorting the soft bezel click was the first thing i was hoping to work on. although when i received my package from TC taiwan last week the cardboard envelope seal was sealed to the inside of the envelope instead of the outside therefore it wasnt closed so the watch never made it to me. still havnt heard from TC as to a solution. if i end up with a watch ill do my best to solve the soft click issue and post a thread on it.
What do you mean it never made it to you? Did you receive an empty box? Are you implying it fell out the package, or was stolen?

Yes this is what I was wondering? the statement of how it was sealed made no sense to me.

I think what he is saying is the flap of the envelope, with the sticky stuff, was tucked inside the envelope and sealed against the inner wall, instead of the outside. Thus not sealing the envelope.


At least that what i got from it .....

But he seems to imply he never got the watch. Why would this cause him not to receive the watch?

Unless I can't read. Always a possibility.

i recieved an empty EMS envelope that had the Orange lip (sticky flap) was tucked inside & sealed onto the inside of the envelope so basically received an opened pouch. To seal the envelope closed it obviously needed to be sealed to the other side, I had it inspected by my local post office and they confirmed the sender failed to seal the envelope and the item most likely fell out & never made it out of the post office or past the sorting/dispatch in Taiwan. been waiting over a week for TC to reply I'm hoping the sender takes responsibility for this

Because it could fall out ?

Well the picture helped figure that out.

Don't you think it'd be pretty obvious if you completely failed to close an envelope though?

youd think so wouldnt you, but it's evident that's what's happened. obviously hasn't been tampered with. The weight recorded on the envelope is 110 grams. Seems a bit light, invoice stuck to the outside also said BRACELET. Anyone still have their package with weight marked on it I would like to know. Trying to narrow down what the hell happened
