Got my Survivor


Recommended Posts

Well folks I finally got the Survivor I've been wanting I've been tossing the idea around since it came out last year but I never thought I'd make the move again but I did I sold all my other reps and picked it up finally and I was happy until I realized a missing bezel screw :( WTF. I blew almost $700 on in this thing and I have to deal with this geez... Well I e-mailed Angus (my dealer for this piece) and now I'm hoping he can rush me a spare screw other wise this thing is gonna have to go back and I really really hate sending things back to china cause it takes forever. Has anyone else been successful on getting a Bezel screw if it was just that problem?

well after tightening the remaining screws to make sure none of then are lose I decided to take one out its place and move it to the missing screws hole but when I do that the screw will not tighten so that means the problem is more then just a loose screw. It seems like its missing threads so even if I got another screw it wouldn't help my case it seems :(

Get in touch with King, she got me a spare screw when i lost mine.

Ya I thought about that Angus the dealer I bought the watch from offered to send me one. But even when I move one of the other screws it doesn't grab so the threads are missing.

I think SHAQ curse you for selling him to me! :bicycle::rofl:

lol maybe man it just sucks cause I've been wanting the survior for a while and its such a nice rep otherwise

Isn't the bezel screw held by a nut? I don't think there are threads in the watch.

No its not the same like the other roos where the nuts on the case back attach to the bezel screws there are seperate screws for the bezel and for the case back.

The nut that holds the bezel screw is probably reversed; therefore, the bezel screw will not tighten. I had this problem with my Survivor. I lost 2 bezel screws the first time I wore the watch. I ordered 2 more bezel screws... When I opened the watch to tighten the replacement screws, the nuts were reversed so the bezel screws could not tighten at all. So I flipped the nuts around, and voil

^^^Not really, just patience and about an hour of your time.

I took the back off and checked all the different screws and it looks like the "nut" that should hold the bezel screw was not present and it is the cause of why my screw fell out. Thanks for the tip it looks like I need to order a bezel screw and the nut behind it.

Glad you got it sorted out. I recommend that you grease the rubber gaskets while you're there for extra measure.

Cheers

I don't know what to use but I'll probably send it out for a tear down service and lume maybe even though the movement works great now. I ordered the screw from King.
