Clean Factory GMT batgirl bezel action

[repab]

Can’t find anything on this , pls guide me if thread exists

got the watch recently from puretime, the bezel action seems very poor. Like very blunt and gummy
anyway to fix it , could it be possibly over lubricated ? Any fix ?

thanks in advance

It’s well documented. A problem with CF GMT bezels. Poor construction, excess grease, etc.

It could be caused by a number of things, although AFAIK these aren't lubricated at all (well, not intentionally - I mean, the person who assembled this may have accidentally secreted something into it...), so that's probably the one thing not causing the issue!

Paging KJ2020 for an experienced opinion regarding potential issues that could be responsible, and perhaps a suggested course of action.

Mine feels the same now that you mention it, but then again I don't turn the bezel tbh & genuinely curious at times why some people do.

Am just happy if it's centred and I understand the functionality re diving etc, but otherwise, on a replica..why mess with it at all.

If it's an easy fix, I'll do it, if not it'll be ignored

It’s kind of a big part of the function & purpose of the watch, to monitor multiple time zones, so for a GMT I want a functioning bezel for sure

The GMT hand already allows you to monitor a 2nd timezone, the bezel is only useful to monitor a 3rd

But I see what you mean and I'd like a sturdy bezel as well

Fair point.
Wouldnt be functionality I'd use alot, so different strokes for different folks.

Well to be fair it could have 4 time zones & I’d still be late everywhere

But you'd be late rocking a slick watch, so alls good

THIS!

And what is left to mention, the click spring is way to large.
It has space on all edges.
There is a local Modder in Germany which does a lot of modding on those GMTs, he always removes tons of lube and then replaces the spring with a GEN spring.
Much, much, much better then.
