Breitling Seawolf Avenger - bezel ring popped off

[Ricardo L]

Anyone else had their bezel pop off on the breitling seawolf avenger v2 (mine is yellow, but this applies to any color).

 

I'm trying to get it to go back with simple finger pressure, but doesn't seem to work very well .. i think i may need a new spring inside the bezel to get it to work right. -- anyone have leads to parts for the rep bezel? (other than china?) ..

 

the watch came from trusty .. 

 

any ideas on how to get the bezel back on (or a tutorial i might have missed) would be appreciated.

Your guess is as good as mine

from what I have heard, a bit of gentle pressure is all it takes to swap these bezels

 

i would like to know though what happened to make it fly off though

chrono -- 

 

just ran it into a door frame hard enough as i was moving around the house...

 

I got the bezel back on -- it took simple pressure on the bezel and i turned the bezel around as i pressed down, the two together made it snap back into place perfectly.

glad to hear

all's well that ends well

 

hope it's as tight as ever too

feels the same as before it popped off -- the mechanism that holds the bezel in place on the rep is different than the gen, so looking up bezel info on the gen is of no use . -- (the gen uses the screws to hold it in place, the rep uses a simple spring)
