GMF vs CF GMT-Master II Bezel Click Action

[Soxxgo2]

The stock CF click spring doesnt contact the grooves of the retaining ring sufficiently so it only gives a gliding feedback when you turn the bezel

But the replacement spring will hug the grooves tighter and give the clicking feedback

It's hard to convey this observation in words. It's best you buy a CF and dismantle the crap bezel to see what is underneath lol

But you can also save yourself the trouble by directly getting a V5 GMF pepsi, they are very nice and have a good click spring

Makes sense! I have a clean 116710 ln on the way. Should have it next week. I service and repair vintage Seiko so this stuff is new for me. The Rolex gmt bezel design is interesting. Does the click ring (or whatever you call it) hold the crystal in place? Or does it just function as the click with no other use?

Sorry for posting early by mistake,

You were not lucky with your GMF since they have a good bazel click, as i noticed in my GMF submariner ( but will never say “Similar to Gen” because it is not since that i already own a GEN sub

For CF, i already ordered the GMT pepsi from CF and it should be on the way soon, I read to many opinions regarding this watch including people saying that bazel is bad, finaly decided to see it in person, hopefuly it will arrive soon and i can update you with that


You will hear something like “If you want a GEN go buy a GEN” and also “Don’t expect ~500$ watch te be same quality as 7000+$ watch” and “rep will always be rep” ;p

Hello the click action in CF u test ? Now it's fixed ? Working very well?

You guys do know that the gen GMT Master II bezels DO NOT click right? They are notches and should make no audible noise when moving one notch to another. I've owned 3 genuine GMTs throughout my life and they all operate like this.

If your hearing a click click like a submariner bezel that is totally wrong.

There is some audible feedback when turning the GMT bezel but of course it's not as crisp sounding like that of the sub

Uh oh. Does this mean that the difference in observation in the gens mean that Rolex has trouble with consistent bezel action on the 116710 too? LOL

I already got the CF pepsi

the rotating bazel is really bad,

after few times of rotating it, the bazel fall down

inside it , a huge spring ( i don’t know why CF did not spent any effort on the spring ) with a lot of greeze to let the bazel rotate

when i remove the greeze and fix it back, it is not rotating now , and it i try to rotate it the bazel will fall down

My advice to you is the following,

CF GMT is a very nice watch, if you want to buy it and wear it without rotating the bazel for the GMT , it has the perfect look and it is the right watch to buy

If you want to use GMT or keep rotating the bazel, you need to change the spring and maybe the gasket as well

If you want to use the GMT but you are not in mood to make the proper modification , don’t get it

Thank u for info, where can I buy the spring and gasket to make the genuine bezel like and the correct click action work?
