Two ways to Tighten a Rotating Bezel

Recommended Posts

Frazzle
I just tried this on a newly received Black Bay and it worked a treat. Thanks.

 

Just what I was looking for. Thanks

That's the one I sold you about,I prefer the foil tbh

 

The foil looks trickier but I'm look for the best fix.

Did the floss and screwed my watch. :) Had to do this to fix it. http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=78412

 

Not too bad though as it works now and I'll use less floss. Anyone who has a NSD bezel pearl shoot me a PM.

I just fixed a loose bezel on my PO. I suspect it was slightly buckled from prizing it off. The dental floss method worked fantastic. It now feels bloody amazing. This is a great trick.

Bringing this one back from the dead to say thank you!  Your pictures and instructions worked flawlessly!  I was thinking about letting this watch go and now you've help me decide to keep it.

After a fair amount of apprehension I just tried the floss one and this worked amazingly! Can't believe how much of a difference this has made.

Thanks for the tutorial @onzenuub

Has anyone tried the silver foil method for SELs that are not 'tight'

 

wonder if that would work? :D

I used it for not rotating bezel to clean it up without removing the bezel so it rotates again;)
