davethecat Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) I’ve got a wonderful MBW 1665 that I cant get off of my wrist no matter what other rep I buy. It happens to have a slightly annoying loose bi-directional no-click bezel that doesn’t seem to respond to any of my efforts to fix it. I believe I have read that others have this problem too. I don’t appear to have washer spring – unless I’m just missing it. Well, I found something that works. I took some very thin Teflon/PTFE pipe tape & cut it to a with of about 1/8th of an inch. I wrapped it around the base of the crystal ring. I overlapped the tape by a hair. I took a match and for the smallest of a second (you guys use seconds, right? I keep forgetting what’s metric & what isn’t ;-) and let a little heat hit the place where the tape overlapped. That secured the ends nicely. I replaced the bezel. Tight. Problem fixed. It’s been in use now for a month with no problems If you guys know where I could find a washer spring, let me know. Otherwise, this seems to be an OK fix.
