I have a watch where the bezel is loose - It is not designed to rotate but it does! How can I stop this (without glue!) It is a watch where the movement has to come out the front of the case. The bezel is a pretty thin piece of metal and clicks nicely into place but then easily rotates. I have seen other cases where there is a dimple in the bezel where the stem leaves the case and I see that that design prevents the bezel from rotating. On this watch the stem leaves through a hole in the the lower part of the case and the is no dimple in the bezel. I assume the same thing happens with snap on case backs. How can I make this tighter? -
Do you have a pic of the 'snowstorm' on the timegrapher ? Does it occur if you only wind it about half way ? -
But when it's in the case, how do you get to the screws?

I just took one of these apart this morning! The date stem is only held in place by the two screws (yellow arrows) and the plate held down by them. After that it will just come out if maneuvered properly. -

I recently finished 2 1686 watches, a “Cardinal 17 jewel” and. Delaware 17 jewels.”Both had mainsprings like the one you showed. I replaced them with new style for Caravelle 10-OAC which were listed as acceptable for replacement. Both are running well.
