I have some question for deep sea

hello everybody ~

I am new deepsea 116660 fans in Taiwan ~

(My English is poor ,maybe some mistakes, hope you can understand. )

it`s some questions confused

Q1 Why ,I cant find any deepsea movement (caliber) pic. ?
(but many cal.3135 and "only" paracrome pic. )

Is this real paracrome hairspring in use ?? have any pic. or video ??

Q2 Is the spring bar softer/harder than case(904L ?) ? I`m worry that ,maybe some day ,lugs hole worn to big hole , and deepsea fall into deepsea ! LOL

You have nothing to worry about just look how many vintage Rolex are in this world today many 50 years old.Your watch has the parachrom hairspring and it 904L S.steel,but both are not a big deal.IMHO just pure marketing as 316L is in reality as good as the 904L.Now the whole watch industry except for 2 manufactures uses the 316L.And lets remember the Nivorox hairsprings have been used for the past 40 plus years in most of the Swiss watch industry including Rolex.So just wear your watch in good health for the next 20-30 years now thats far more important than worrying over lug holes.And things like spring-bars are normally replaced when watch is serviced.
