Broken bezel help needed

[russell.b]

Can someone assist just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly

The ceramic insert was in secure

The Spring was out and the bezel case fell off the watch

I recited the ceramic bezel to the ss casing then pushed the spring around the inner sectors making sure it was as snug as possible

It's on but not tight enough how do I make it tighter ??? Will add more pics in a bit

Fortunately you posted those pics - your previous post I didn't understand anything...

You need to make that spring very slightly smaller - remove it and make the angle bends very slight tighter, test and repeat until the bezel stays firmly in place.

Thanks tripdog I've been trying that different ways and then was thinking it might be better to make a new one as the metal looks twisted etc which is making it difficult

So next ? Would be if I was going to make a new one any ideas material etc

I was also going to experiment with slightly more bend in order to keep it tighter ? Would that work any experience or additional knowledge welcomed !

There's no need to try and make a new one - it's just a piece of wire shaped into an octagon - don't over think this ! Reshape it so that it sits properly in the groove on the bezel ring, tighten up slightly the angles of the octagon so that the ring becomes slightly smaller, test and adjust if necessary.
