Champagnesky Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hi! The bezel on my 1665 cartel is pretty loose and doesent skt tight. Does anyone know how to make it more tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revere Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Do you know if it has the construction with the geometric spring in the bezel? if so, you could probably tighten that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 If it's gen like construction with the flat washer in there, you can bend the washer a little and it will keep the bezel from free spinning so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 if bending the washer doesnt work you can always double up on the washers too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champagnesky Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 The bezel sits tight together with the retaining ring, not sure if its gen construction, here is a small videohttps://vimeo.com/132212448 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Separate the retaining ring from the bezel. Install the retaining ring on the crystal with the crystal press. See if you can bend the flat washer and install it and then the bezel. Like Highoey says, if need be you can always add another washer Or you try to pick up some other parts and see if they fit better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause this goes up and down a millimeter or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
