    I went to the watch maker because the bezel is a bit loose. He did change the spring and now it turns tightly but not in a clicking fashion, does anyone know whether the bezel should be clicking during each step of the turn or does it just rotate without clicking?

    Hey anyone has an idea, does the bezel click as it moves?

    Hey Eric, just checked mine. Not exactly the same reference but I think the bezel's the same. Clicks on every step to the next hour.

    Thanks Gavin. Seems like mine is a bad one then, mine doesn't click T_T. But still the watch maker managed to adjust it such that it turns tightly.

    Doubt that the spring itself is bad. The watchmaker was likely using a part from another watch or generic one. If you let him know that it should click at every stop, he can likely add a bend to the spring to accomplish this.

    Thanks Byron, I will sure try to check whether he can do that or not.
