This 5512 (Eddie Lee) just arrived.



Honestly bought this on a whim and don’t know much about it. The bezel is super loose. I’m guessing there is a tension ring/washer that I might have to double up on.

Pop bezel assy off with a knife that's covered in plastic or something, and you'll see a flat ring. Add little creases to the ring to make it tight. Then put it back on.

Planning to disassemble the whole thing this weekend. This pip irks me. Will play with some faux aging to the insert, dial, hands, case.

1680 bezel tension

So I just received my JK 1680 and I'm am curious as to how easy should it be to move the bezel, not take the bezel off but just move it back and forth. Mine is very easy to move. It seems too loose. But i don't know how they are supposed to feel. Also if it's too loose how do you go about...

If you want to bleach the bezel, (I don't recommend it for such a gorgeous watch like that) remeber to start off super weak before going super strong. 1 part bleach 10 parts water, and the key trick is to dry it immediately. I can't speak to an Eddie Lee bezel but the JF bezels can take a bit of bleach before they dilute.

I had to double up on the washer on a Tudor 9401 so I’m sure this will be similar.

I’ve learned with bleach that it’s better to dilute and adjust time. I once bleached an insert and watched the entire thing disintegrate lol
