JF16610 lose bezel, any advice appreciated

[Si77]

Hi, just received a JF16610 from a TD and has the lose bezel issue, not positive when turning and wobbles quite a bit. I have emailed the TD as am sure this should’ve been addressed at QC. 
Will a better/gen click spring and/or a better/gen flat spring washer sort this? There are a couple of gen ones on eBay, or does anyone recommend somewhere to purchase, I’m UK based.
Thanks in advance

This is a pretty common issue, would be great to hear from some of our experienced modders.

You could try bending the flat washer and see if that works. The click spring just keeps the bezel moving in the correct direction, so it's shouldn't be your problem. You could try an aftermarket bezel and see if it's tighter. The crystal retention ring and the bezel need to fit together well. You might have to order both parts, maybe as a set and see if it works. Pretty much a matter of mix and match to see what works.

That’s great, thank you. Going to take it apart now and tweak the flat spring, might purchase gen too and see how that goes. 

Thanjs agsin, appreciate your time

Removed the bezel and tweeted both the flat washer and click spring, easy job, kept tweeting until it felt right, treated it to a small amount of dry lube too. 

Aged the insert and fitted a Phoenix nato and looks and feels awesome.

Thanks for your help 

Next to my gen 114060 & gen 79220n

Nice job👌 

Sometimes you have the guts to just do it. My first watch I [censored] up. Thank god it was a cheapie😂

Yes, it’s good enough for now, have ordered a gen flat washer and better click spring, will let you know how that feels.
