Well, my James Cameron seadweller deep sea it’s going back to Andiot. There’s something wrong underneath the bezel where it binds. I was just gonna try to fix that locally, but then today out in the sunlight I know if there’s dirt or dust underneath the lens I thought it was on the outside :-(

Stupid autocorrect. It was supposed to say I noticed dirt or dust underneath the lens.

I think you need to calm a bit Mate, not meant rude or in a bad way :)

The Bezel action is caused by the teflon hyrtel ring. Thats a widely spreaded problem with reps, not only for this Model or C+ Factory. Maybe need a new one or use fish line instead and it's fixed. Sometimes they get a dent from pressing back. This will cause your problems.

Dirt can also happen with every rep.

If you use a watchmaker from our Forum they'll be able to fix all this and make it great again :)

Shipping back to China is risky! there is a high risk the watch gets lost. I wouldnt do it.

That’s a good idea about the watchmakers here instead of having it go back to China. I’ll do a search for one here.

In your experience, does switching out the Hytrel ring mean that it usually needs a fishing line that is slightly larger in cross section than what’s already on the watch? Or slightly smaller? Trying to figure out what fishing line I want to try without buying a whole bunch…0.067 or 0.065 in seem to be quoted for Subs but not sure if deepseas are the same.

Need some help. I have a 126660 gen Rolex case with crystal, crown, bezel, caseback. I Purchased a c+ for the movement to swap over. I have scoured the Internet to see a gen with the case back out and the movement inside to see how it's held in. The vr movement is loose in the case and neither 3135 case screws or 3235 screws with ears work. I am wondering if there is a spacer or something I am missing with my gen case or if I may have gotten a franken gen case where the compression spacer is not correct.

So basically if anyone has a gen 126660 can send me a picture with the case back off. Thanks in advance.

Can you send some pics of your case?

Normally the hyrtel can be used again. But if its damaged you need to replace it or use the fishline instead. You would need to try some sizes which you would prefere. If its too thick the bezel turns too strong.
Best would be if you know someone who is fishing, so he could cut some different sizes for you.
I would take a little bit a thicker one than the hyrtel.
I would try the sub sizes, then you will see if you need a thinner or thicker one.

How is everyone finding the C+ vs the Noob V10 A3235
I feel like the Noob has better length hands
