Hi RWI,
Working on a DSSD and wanted to get bezel tight like GEN, would make all the difference to me, any ideas?

DSSD Tight Bezel Like GEN?

Dental floss....
Perhaps not THE best way, but it is A way of tightening the bezal. Get the thinnest floss you can find and wrap it under the bezal a couple of times, testing the bezal movement as you go. If you go too far, just unwind a bit.
Worked for me on a few watches, including the DSSD
Good luck!

there's a reason they build them like this, the rep is nothing like it, so trying to make it exact is a losing proposition.
I think the main problem your feeling is the rep has only one spring under the bezel for the click while the gen has the addition of three roller bearings.
There's also the matter of the wire retaining ring system on the DSSD rep rather than a perfectly milled bezel.

Gotcha Chris! Hopefully you may be able to rig something to tighten that baby up. Again when I tried the GEN the tight bezel was pretty damn cool.
Riggggggghhhhht (dr evil)

Don't try and remove the bezel yourself as it will bend easily. I even used a bezel remover and the cheap metal on the bezel was dug into by the hard metal removing clasps.
I ended up buying another that was tight on its own, guess you just have to be lucky or the right version.

I have a BK DSSD and the play on the bezel drives me nuts too. How practical do you think this mod is?
I've considered drilling additional holes into the DSSD case to add more lugs to match the four lugs that the gen case has? I would think that the wire that holds the bezel in place on the rep case could be fitted and hopefully provide a snug bezel.
I haven't attempted this but am seriously considering it if I can source a additional lugs and an extra DSSD case. See this thread for comparison of rep and gen cases: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/dssd-construction-gen-52910?t=52910
