I need some help

I was changing out my bezel on my beautiful Sub LV from green to black and lost that little spring thing. I had changed it out several times before but the spring (I think its a spring) got away from me. Where can I get one? Any ideas?

$100 part from Rolex. If you gonna do bezel insert changes often, forget about a new spring, just have it installed if you decide to sell the watch.

I just like the variety, makes me feel like I have two watches. I have done it a couple of times with no problems. I will wear it green for six months and then black for six months. Just got away from me is all. Thanks.

You might also contact Steve Mulholland. I bet he has parts such as this.

Any Dealer with a watchmaker on staff should have a bezel spring.. It's a 2 dollar piece that they probably charge 15 for, and then whatever labor it takes to install it.. If you have good rapport with your Dealer, they might not charge at all........

or you can make one out of a paper clip.....

Funny thing is it popped out on our berber (not sure about the spelling) carpet and I searched like crazy for an hour or so. I gave up and contacted Steve Mulholland and Brown and Company here in the Atlanta area...and ten minutes later voila I stepped on it. I found it so all is good. I did think about using a paper clip or staple.
