I think I lost a click spring

[markotu]

I removed the bezel on my Omega Seamaster GMT to properly align it, cause it was a bit off. I didn't realize I was missing a part until I put it back on. Now it's moving freely not clicking. I've done this for the first time obviously. I guess I lost the click spring. Now I can't find the damn thing, it must have jumped somewhere when I took the bezel off.
I'm not sure if it's even called a click spring, but I hope you know what I mean.
Where can I order this thing, if that is even possible? Or will I have to get the whole new bezel?

Took the bezel off of my other Seamaster, this time more carefully, to show you how the missing part looks like.

Here's a photo of the spring I lost.

Can someone tell me what is this actually called? I'm guessing it's a click spring, cause it makes the bezel click?

Is it possible to order it somewhere. Or are there any cheap devices that we usually have lying at home where something similar can be taken out? lol

Help much appreciated.

If you lost the spring you also probably lost the little "plug" (I'm not sure it's true name) that goes inside the spring. They are both very small and fit into the small hole under the bezel. It's actually the other part that hits the bezel to hold it in place, so you need both.

Post in the wanted section. If you have no luck I'll see what I can do (I have several Omega reps, and one comming for parts).

Thanks for reply. I actually have the little "plug", forgot to mention that, so I'm only missing this spring.

Okay - if you can't get one in the wanted section pm me next week (the parts watch should be here by then) and I'll see what I can send you.

Hi markotu, how did you get the bezel off?

Do you just slide a knifesblade between the case and the bezel, and then pop it, or is there another trick?

Yea that's basically it. You may want to put some scotch tape over the blade and be careful you don't scratch the lugs. You could also get a bezel remover tool, but the knife works just fine.

Thanks, I'll try it out sometime, would like to try an tighten the bezel "click" a little.
