Goochenbrau Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Do the gen bezels on subs click when you turn them? I always thought they moved smoothly with no clicking at all (unlike reps). Is this correct or am I dellusional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Vintage models like the 1680 and 1665 are bi directional non-click. They operate on a washer spring. This changed with the 16800/16660 transitional models (sapphire with matte dials on the early versions), as they now had a click spring that made the bezels uni-directional. This design has carried forth through to the current 16610/16600, and is likely to continue in the next iteration (whichever ref that may be)...

Goochenbrau Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I was playing with a friends 16613 (I dont know how old it is, but I think its relatively new), and it was bi-directional and no click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
