Deepsea servicing and repair question

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone out there could answer a few quick questions for me regarding repairing and servicing a Deepsea.

My watch has a hard life due to the fact that I wear it whilst diving offshore.

The bezel now turns in both directions and the screws that hold the bracelet together kept working their way out, despite being threadlocked multiple times. I got some marine grade threadlock from one of the engineers aboard the DSV and applied it to all of the bracelet screws including the one that connects the link to the fliplock and the one that is the half-link that connects to the top end of the clasp, all in all 4 screws were threadlocked. The threadlock seeped through to the centre of the links and the screws are now held fast.
The main clasp, on the right side of the flip lock is also bent/flared outwards.

I am intending on sending the watch into RSC UK upon my return from this trip to have it serviced. Are things such as fixing the bezel and bent clasp covered under the usual servicing costs or will they be extra. If so, how much am I roughly looking at?

Finally, the bracelet screws; if they are held fast and immovable is it possible for rolex to split the links and re-attach some new ones or will a new bracelet be required? I must explain that when flexing the bracelet the screws now move with the link and not the other way round. I. E. They are most likely stripping their original threads.

Thanks all
