Many of you have seen my relumed 5513. It has the typical friction bezel like many of these watches with plexi crystals from this era. I have noticed that my two 1680s have bezels with a nice amount of tension on them so that you can set them either way bi-directionally and the bezel will stay in place. On my 5513, it is much looser and rotates much more freely. I know there is some sort of spring under the bezel, my question is whether or not the bezel can be tightened, and by what procedure?

It would be much nicer if I could tighten this bezel so that it would be useful during diving. I do not have too much fear of losing the bezel, because it SEEMS to be affixed securely.........but it just spins freely.

Thanks in advance for any help
