Buying a new crown guard would be a good start.
This is why you mush check all screws for tightness when you get a new watch.

Crown guard as tb already mentioned. Bridge is in the movement and you can't even see it with the closed caseback on.

Believe it or not, I checked the screws!!....probably not good enough :-(

That's too bad! I feel really sorry for you, but you will still be able to repair it properly.

This is a rep general issue not focused in some models or brands.
But is very famous in H screw bezel of Hublots and in PAM lug screw and CG screws.
You must tightening screws and to apply some appropriate Loctite.

It's the 243M Noob V2

And yes Ale, I agree.....but on the other hand I expect that screws are tight, but maybe I expect to much?
I will order a new Crown guard.....can you tell me what kind of Loctite I need, I'm not sure I can buy it here in the Netherlands.

Thank's, Wim

YES, you are expecting TO MUCH in replica world.
Usually many screws are not tightened.
The best Loctite for this purpose is Loctite 222 or 222ms

If you don't find it, is enough a Loctite threadlocker midium resistance to allow manualy disassembling. Loctite 243

And be sure to use the correct screwdriver so you get the correct torque on the screw without messing the screw heads up, a very common mistake.

 

[Zkebam]

What a great forum this is!!!!!!

 

[Zkebam]

Thanks for your advice Rick!!

THIS IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE LOCTITE
Thanks

Just got the 222. What is the best way to apply.....can you tell me Ale.....or anyone?
Thanks!

 

[Rick914]

Use a tiny drop on the threads only. Torque as normal. Let set up before getting wet. Don't try to break loose once it's dry unless you are removing the screw. Clean and reapply each time.

With loctite, more is not always better and a little goes a long way.

 

[Zkebam]

Thank you Rick.....my english is far from perfect!....so can you tell me what you mean with " Let set up before getting wet" ?
Thanks!

 

[Rick914]

Let it properly dry before swimming, shower, and other water activities.
Let it dry for about 24 hours to be safe
