Hi I have a arf submariner that I bought that apparently when the paint on the bezel mod was done lost a click spring and was assembled back without it.. Does anyone here know of who could fix this for me? Watch is perfect other than it not being a smooth click on the bezel when it turns. Very irritating.., ANy help would be appreciated... Thanks

So these have 3 spring ball/pins and one click pin.

Did you loose the click or one of the ball pins?

If its just a ball/pin... it’s possible to use a mini ball bearing and springs. KJ2020 has info in a thread about it.

I think you can source them thru mcmaster-carr.

If you lost the click, then I think best bet would be to purchase a gen click.

Thanks for the reply...yes I'm missing the spring/ball pin
I found the site but have no idea which or what to order... To make sure it fits? Any idea? I tried to read through that thread and can't find that size of spring. Of it's not 1.4 mm but 1.32 would that work as far as the od and if the length is 4mm? Thanks

Toward the end of the thread there are some updated links. You can just set the balls on top of the springs, the balls do not need to have posts on them. The balls should recess a little into the holes so they don't roll around easily. Then just press the bezel on top of the seated balls.
