Should a 16660 have a bezel tension ring?
Hi all,
I got my first seadweller, a 16660 matte dial in the mail this morning and noticed the bezel was a bit tricky to turn. On my subs and old GMTs they all have a thin metal tension ring that sits below the click spring, however I noticed when I cleaned the bezel that mine doesn't have one. Is it supposed to? Will it help my bezel turn easier? Thanks!

Does it still click, or just turn? It should have the bezel retention ring/spring and click spring. I lost my 16600 click spring so I currently have a bidirectional bezel . I'll trade you my retention spring for your click spring ;)
I ordered a spring set off Ebay, and it turned about 3 times and stopped clicking. The click spring sheared right in half. So, I'm still looking. |
