Hello everyone! New to the replica watches and need some help. Just purchase my first rep off another member here and am running into a problem. Just recently my watch face started twisting in the watch. Time is kept great and everything is running well. I have no experience opening watches or fixing them at all.

Here's a picture to show you what's going on with my rep Pelagos. Hopefully I just need to tighten somehow and no disassemble the whole watch! Please help I you know!

Thanks,
Joey

Don't do it yourself if you have no tools and experience. Ask some local watchmaker

This is "normal" on the pelagos, happened to me also, it is easy to fix, but as said before, don't do it yourself. Here is mine rotated and then fixed

Yep, Mine is out to Strodda now for that and a keyless issue. I guess it's a known issue, although I did not know about it until it happened...LOL. I've read dial dots or a dab of glue. Not sure how Strodda will be fixing mine...I did not inquire beyond asking if he could fix it. I'd suggest you send it out before trying it yourself. You will have to decase the movement to repair and the keyless is easy to mess up.

Dont put glue anywhere that watch except on the stem only. I made a movement holder out of a milk jug top and it holds pressure from the case back on the movement and the dial so it will not move. It works perfect for this problem. I think the movement holder screw tabs are loose this should not happen.
