Jetsons Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 I used a thin coat of silicone grease. Works perfect. Jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purspeed Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Thanks, Jet. About the oring, what is that Oring's purpose? Also, should I polish the case where the bezel sits to allow smooth bezel movement or would this create a situation where the bezel wouldn't remain seated?

Jetsons Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) About the oring, what is that Oring's purpose? ....My guess would be to help keep the bezel fit snug around the case. No wobbles. Also, should I polish the case where the bezel sits to allow smooth bezel movement or would this create a situation where the bezel wouldn't remain seated? ...All I did was to clean all areas thorougly. Mine was full of dirt probably from the factory. Polishing should not affect the smoothness of rotation as the metal bezel washer prongs handle those duties. I also did not apply grease as that would tend to attract dirt. Added; Good idea to polish the bezel whille it's off. A dremel and some fine plolish ( I used Simichrome paste) made it look much better. Glad I could be of help.

ehtolcad Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 i saw some teflon/silicone spray recently - would that be good to use or should it really be done with the jar of silicone grease? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 About the oring, what is that Oring's purpose? Waterproofing. Like a washer in a tap. Metal to metal can have small gaps if the sides are not 100% flush, so you put a compressible rubber ring between them and you get watertight.

Craytonic Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 looks like a rubber band, usually black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purspeed Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I cheaped/lazy'd out and used vaseline on the Oring. I did polish around the areas where the bezel meets the case. Removing the factory "crud" and polishing and a thorough cleaning has now made the bezel move smooth, yet tight. Vaseline: if it's good enough for gays, it's good enough for my Oring.
