Help with tightening the bezel

Recommended Posts

edil

Hello guys any help please.

 

As almost every omega rep bezel insert is misaligned i pop up the bezel and correct the insert. Note that nothing fell of, even the spring was holding on, because it was inside the bezel, so i didn't had to remove or restore it. But when i place the bezel again on the watch it works, but it turns very loosely.

 

Any help to tighten it without using any dental floss or any foil.

I want to be as perfectas can be without any artificial supplements.

Thanks.

Is the bezel assembly the hexagonal wire type or the flat ring type?

the hexagonal wire type, its an Omega SP.

Butt like i said i didn't touch that, or take it of the bezel, there was no need of doing that.

To tighten the bezel up properly you'll have to pop it off and bend the wire as below...:D

Well i didnt to that but i managed to tighten the bezel another way. KBH posted it in january. http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...?showtopic=3635

He said: If you want to make the bezel feel tighter, try stretching the spring a little and/or put a little shim under it.

Under the clicker mechanism that is.

And it did the job. Bezel now looks and feels great. :thumbsup2:

 

Thanks thogh for your answers. :)
