Anybody ever had this? The end links on my navi bracelet seem loose, and if I rattle tha watch around they will actually rotate and flip upwards, completely detaching itself from the case (even though the springbars stay in tact). Im taking it to my AD today for regulation, but wanted to see if anybody else has experienced this.
Thanks

Experienced the same problem when I tried to remove the Navi Bracelet and replace it with the leather one :oops:
I had to go to my AD to have it "repaired"

An update: I took it to my local dealer and she agreed that it was not normal. Anyway, sent it away to get "repaired" as well as be regulated.

This happened to me when I purchased a Navitimer bracelet for my Navitimer which I bought on Croc. I ended up purchasing the wrong one as it was designed for a Cosmonaute (i think - can't remember now) and it was slightly different. I've heard this can happen when the Spring Bars are not thick enough because you're using aftermarket ones.

I think you might be 100% right. I was looking at the spring bars this morning and thought to myself that they looked pretty thin.
