16610 Bezel Asseblely

Recommended Posts

I have been knocking around the idea of purchasing a bezel assembly for my modern sub. I have found several for sale so far but I want to make sure that what I am buying is complete so that I am not scurrying about at the last minute finding the allusive part.

Is this correct?

Bezel Insert

Bezel

Retaining bezel ring

Bezel flat friction washer

Bezel click spring

Thank you.

Sounds good to me. There is also a rubber gasket the goes under the retaining ring- my notes say PN 29-325-10, it's the same as the gasket for the caseback.

This was an old diagram of the Sub parts- don't know if it'll work or not.

Edit: well it didn't work

Thanks alligoat,

Your link just puts me back to the Forums page. I do appreciate you efforts and contribution.

I guess another question I would have is: If I were to change the bezel on my WM9 sub, what parts from the watch would still be compatible with the gen bezel assembly?

or

How many of the gen parts would be needed?

Thanks

That's tough to answer. Maybe the bezel, the flat washer and the click spring would do it.

Maybe you'd have to get the retaining ring also.

Highoey was also looking for similar parts- wondering about buying from wholesaleoutlet990/watchbandman50, but that's always a gamble.

I guess you could always send the parts back if they didn't work...., but as Freddy says, the guys a weasel.

Well, I can see that Ubi's answer was kinda like what I figured might be the case.

When you're dealing with WM9 and Euromariners, if you're going to swap out some bezel parts, you pretty much have to go the whole route. Mixing and matching probably won't work.
