Tighten the bezel on ceramic Noob Sub?

Is it possible to tighten the bezel on the submariner ceramic from the noobfactory?

It has all the clicks but they are very soft and you can almost turn it half a click backwards.

Or is it better to send it back and have the whole watch replaced?

I wouldn't send it back. The bezel is tightened by an simple wire spring. Rather than dissassemble your bezel insert many people have done the "dental floss" method. http://www.repgeek.com/showpost.php?p=996345&postcount=1

If you'd like to mod the bezel spring, it will take quite a bit more work, but not impossible by any means.

I'd rule out the sending back part unless the bezel is actually falling off or impeding the function of the watch. There would be no garuantee that you'd get a better watch anyways. It's always a risk sending watches back to china.

Take a look around, there's plenty of people that have done things to improve their bezel "clickiness", in the search bar put in "loose bezel" and you'll get pages and pages of info :thumbsupsmileyanim:
