Let me guess...A VSF?

It's not the dealer, it's the factory. VSF is known for this defect on their Seamasters.

Something that even a small amount of research, before buying, would show.
Yeah...VSF....sucks....

They do some things better than anyone, and the Seamaster Pro is very good. It just has a couple shortcomings…and the crown/tube is one of them.

I think your order was from a few years back. We can try to ask them to fix but yes, can't be guaranteed.

This is a well known issue with the Seamaster VSF model.

Get the ZF or ORF which doesn't have this issue.
