Icon4 DSSD Owners Chime in on this, is this an issue or is normal.

As I sat with my lovely wife waiting for dinner I had the time to sit and mesmerize my D-Blue, I don't use it much since I have a Yacht Master 2 as my daily watch and a Panarei. I checked my other 4 Rolexes and none seem to have this issue of a clunking noise as I press the bezel, is this something that I should be concerned about or is it normal on all new DSSD's? I would have loved to compare it with my old DSSD but I sold it a few months ago. Please chime in. Thanks.

I got this photos and some other owners said it's normal

Surely you've got this the wrong way round, you should be mesmerised by your lovely wife not by the watch on your wrist.How was dinner after all this clunking?

All the ceramic insert watches with rotatable bezels float a a 3 spring-loaded ball-bearing and a spring-loaded click stop.

Then something is wrong with it. I wouldn't describe any noise as clunky on mine but as Peter stated, there's definitely a spring loaded action to the bezel and it is indeed normal for the Deepsea bezel to have vertical play when pressed.

The bezel of my DSSD has vertical play as well.

Definitely normal. But how about this. Can anyone tell me if they are able to rotate their DSSD bezel clockwise. Mine can be rotated cockwise with a bit of force. It's seems that the detent that is supposed to only let it rotate counterclockwise is not working as it should
