Rolex DeepSea..

 
 By: jenjames : September 14th, 2022-20:07
Anyone notice Rolex had updated and change the back of the case.. the titanium block is now much more “exposed” compared to first generation DeepSea 116660 compared to the latest 136660. Anyone here own a 126660? Care to share a photo of the case back? .. or are my eyes playing trick on me??

I wonder what the torque specs are on that case back. Great watch !

Where do you see the torque specs?

I never saw any details of this...

I believe it is best to leave this to the watchmaker. Tightening a case-back and ensuring the watch leaves up to the specified depth needs more than screwing it back on. Seals and testings is a must. If you do not dive then you can tightened it back relying on hand force.

Yes, I've heard about added complications

With steel screws seizing in titanium threads when messed with... But I'm not sure if it applies in this case or if Rolex engineered their way around it.
