Just got this 569 the other day from sead and the markers at 5 and 10 have fallen out of the bezel. . I've already contacted sead and I'm sure he'll take care of it not to worried

just wondering if this is an issue with the submersible that needs to be addressed on my next pam or just a random 1 off.

Thanks. Kw-v6 569 with seagul mvnt

DO they screw in? How does it look like they were attached?

Had the same problem with my KW/V6F PAM508... Pearl and "30" marker lost.
They're not screwed. Looks like glued, poor quality glue...

They can supply the pearl but not the marker. Even a whole bezel.

You can ship it back.

Sead said he would look for the maker. I'm hoping I don't have to send it back, I've been waiting to wear this. ..and yes it dosnt even look like this was glued in maybe just pressed in but not sure

Now that is disturbing. I always assume these watches are put together as the Noob fctory produces them. Not so based upon that photo. I was about to buy that watch but for now I will skip it.

This is a common issue with markers.... It also is a very easy fix you can either do yourself with just a few tools or by a watchmaker. Won't be an expensive fix and prob the best fix as it can happen again with a new watch from the factory.

I hope Sead manages to find you a replacement marker! Keep us posted on whether he's managed or not!

Kw/V6F can't supply the markers. I asked them (directly and trough my TD), they can supply the pearl, not the markers.

Easy fix.... If you have the parts ;)

Take 'm off with wood, to not damage them, and then use a good glue :)

Oops. I'm sorry to hear that. I was thinking of purchasing a couple of KW Pams but my mind changed after seeing this photo.
