So I've got a Josh 5513 case that I was hoping to fit with Gen parts. I'm new to Rolex so I'm not 100% sure how everything works. I took apart the entire watch and the rep plexi fits snuggly on the case, however it looks to have had a piece of plastic around the base of the plexi for the retaining ring to slip over and hold tight. Once I removed the plastic, the retaining ring no longer slips over plexi and snaps tight. That's okay because I don't plan on using the rep plexi. However when I put the gen plexi on the case, it doesn't sit tight. Is that normal? Does the retaining ring compress the base of the plexi around the case? I did slip over the the retaining ring as it was really tight and didn't want to scratch the plexi. I thought I would ask before I moved forward. Is there supposed to be a gasket or something between the plexi and case? I can post a video if this doesn't make sense.
Also, the Gen bezel doesn't fit the rep retaining ring. Would I be better off sourcing a gen retaining ring? Would it even matter if the gen plexi is loose around the case? Thanks!
