Red Sub Bezel keeps falling off

Is there anything I can do to keep my bezel from falling off?

Yes, find a good watchmaker and he should be able to size it and/or the crystal retaining ring so the bezel remains on the watch.

Great 1680 - yes, get it seen to by a watchmaker soon, before you lose that fabulous bezel and insert. Hopefully just needs adjustment, but may require a new crystal retaining ring and tension spring, underneath the bezel.

bezel or the insert? the insert looks to be shaved? look at the left hand side of the insert.
