Omega planet ocean bezel problem

[Chris121]

Good day everyone, does anyone know how to fix or even remove the bezel from an Omega Planet Ocean 600m 43.5mm SS/RU Grey Dial SCF A8900? The problem is a loose bezel. But the play is not right and left, only up and down.

regards
Chris

I have never removed a bezel from that particular model or manufacturer- but there is no reason that that tool should not do the job- it is effective. I do not believe these models have a ball and spring click system like the Rolex subs- but like anything when fiddling with watches- be very mindful of stuff flying off into the ether- perhaps do it in a large plastic bag.

You MIGHT need a crystal press to get the bezel back on. IF so- you need to remove the bezel inset first before reinserting to avoid cracking the ceramic.

many of these have a thin washer that needs a little increased bend in it to help increase tension on the bezel. There are many threads about this- the best way to search RWI for me is not the search box above- but google. simply type in your query followed by "site:replica-watch.info" (no quotes).

I hope this helps

thanks a lot for your help, I didn't find the instructions for the omega but the one for the rolex was also useful. I'll try. Now I just have to order the device to remove the bezel and I hope I'll be able to sort this out.

that device is helpful but not necessary- you should look at the many videos on YouTube and threads here about bezel removal. Some tape and a pocket knife is really all you need.

Thank you very much for your help again. I assume that if I manage to unscrew the bezel, the spring will probably need to be replaced. Is there a chance that you will know which spring will be suitable for this watch? There are a lot of them on Aliexpress but unfortunately they do not write which model it is suitable for. There are only various markings that do not say much.

the flat washer type spring will not usually need to be replaced- just a slight increased bend in it is all that is usually needed.
