New BSSA - Loose bezel

[vladswe]

Hi all,

I just received my Super Avenger Blacksteel and it's incredible - except for one thing. The bezel is a bit loose (a lot compared to my Omega UPO which is rock solid), maybe moving half a click in the opposite direction and making a distinct "clicking" sound when you tap it with a finger.

Is there an easy way to fix this issue? Never done any watch service so not sure if there are any screws that can be tightened etc.

Thankful for any help!

dental floss will firm it up a tad

Would you mind elaborating? Remove the bezel, or try to jam the dental floss between the bezel and the body?

Its an easy mod i performed on my Avenger Skyland. Wrap the floss around a few turns and push the end down with a razor blade.

Relay easy.

Have fun with your watch,

please do NOT remove anything from anywhere

slip & wrap the floss under the bezel turning the bezel as you go along, stop when it firms up, tuck it in with a blade or use another piece of floss to hold it in and tie it off on the other side

Has anyone tried to pop the bezel off and adjust the bezel ratchet ring? I know with SA v3 is easy but the crystal comes off with the bezel. Will it also be the case with SA BS? (I sure hope not)

not confident enough to do it myself

but i'm tempted to

Not trying to brag, but mine has pretty tight bezel, thus I think if the bezel is to be removed, I believe we can adjust the ratchet ring to make the bezel tighter.

I have done it, and yes it works !!

[chronoluvvv]

What do you mean? The bezel comes off cleanly or with the crystal? Thanks!

I use a thin stainless steel ruler.

Bezel comes off and they crystal stays put in the case...as the bezel rotates.

Not only will It firm It up but It will also help In removing plaque and reducing the chances of gengivitis
