Loose Bezel Breitling Avenger

[Raxford]

Hey there friends! I need some advice. I picked up a V3 Avenger and the bezel is very loose. Any recommendations on how to stiffen it up? Floss or something? Any help is appreciated.

You can pop it off very easy. Just take a little plastic knife and put it between bezel and case.

Now you see the click spring. Just bent the little noses a bit more and put the bezel back on.

This helps a bit

Some of these bezels are far from easy to remove, depends on the history of the watch, and what version it is.  The octagon wire retainer can be a nightmare.

Thanks, I'll at least take a peek.

Fair enough. I'm not knowledgeable enough about these things to have lots of confidence walking into pulling the bezel. It's ok if there's no simple fix. I can deal

 

Thanks to both of you for the replies!

I would try the dental floss trick first.    If it doesn't work, you can always remove the floss and try something else
