JF16610 lose bezel, any advice appreciated

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 
Si

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.

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
