This is a new to me watch. When I received it I sent it straight to my local watchmaker for a service. He found nothing wrong with the bezel mechanism other than it was very dirty. This is post service. Is this normal for this model?
Nope! I have mine on my wrist as I write this, and it’s as solid as a rock! I’d fear that would fall off after a slight tap on a door.
No play on mine. The bezel should have come with a new spring, maybe he didn't use it? The other alternative is that the case is severely worn. Tom
No its not normal. Had the same issue after my SMP came back from service and i sent it back and Omega replaced the watch.
I know its silly to ask people without them seeing the problem in person, but what are some of the most common possibilities? Am I looking at getting a new bezel or could it be more like a worn spring?
Bezel, spring, or case. Only parts involved. Which is something you ask the watchmaker about, not some bunch of goofballs on a web forum! Tom
There are two springs. One is the bezel spring that holds the bezel on the watch. The other is the click spring...usually loose bezels are a result of a damaged click spring.
