Wearing my grail watch today. A gen 1971 vintage Speedmaster Pro ref. 145.022. Totally in love with this watch!

Hi,

I've lost the stem and crown of my PO. Does anybody know if and where I can get a replacement?

Kind Regards,

Dennis

Wow! Lovely!

Thanks. The dental floss trick works like a charm. Now going to enjoy the wear for a little while

Unfortunately you don't have the gen spec bezel assembly for a 1665. Judging by the underside it was originally for a later SD model with a click spring. The wire clip you have is the what holds the bezel in place on the retaining ring. Your best option is to use the dental floss trick already suggested by TheSociety. You need to reassemble the bezel and thread a strand of dental floss under the bezel that will add friction to the bezel rotation. Alternatively you could source a gen spec assembly to install. Phong would be a good choice, it's what I installed on mine.

I will first try to bend the spring a bit. Can always try the toothpick trick if that doesn't work.
What's the best way to get the tension spring back in?

Okay, I carefully took the bezel off and ended up with below parts. No friction washer or whatsoever. Hope I can get this fixed and back together again

Okay thanks for your quick reply! I didn't know that, although I've read quite some things about this model before purchasing this rep.
But it is not supposed to turn so easily that it will turn automatically when wearing it right? Is there something I can do to prevent this?

I have a question for the experts. I just bought my first replica Rolex. From hontwatch. He is a trusted dealer on RWI. The proces went pretty well and yesterday I've received the watch. But I think there is a problem with the bezel. It just turns both ways, without clicking, not able to lock it down in a specific position.

Check out the video I made of it

I emailed hontwatch about this, but his reaction is that it is okay.

Reaction hontwatch:

"the bezel is right turn ,not same gear as the new one ,the vintage models rolex bezel same this bezel ,and no gear ,just the new models have gear :)"

This is not true right?

Does a vintage DRSD 1665 have a spring/gear in the bezel? So it clicks when turning?

If not, then is it supposed to turn this easy? I should be able to 'lock' the bezel in a certain position right? I think that's the function of this ring when diving with it.

Below the QC pics I received from him before shipping. With the bezel nicely positioned at 12.
