Bezel retaining wire shape

[Bauertime]

I just spent a hour trying to put the bends in a bezel retaining wire to make it look like it did from the factory and found out it was near impossible to get it to go on. So before giving up I just made the wire as round as possible with my hands. The small amount it was out of round made it snap right on the first time I tried it. I just thought I would pass this info on encase someone else has trouble with a bezel retaining wire.

Yes they don't always need to be perfect... Keep in mind that there are multiple types of bezel spring wires... Different designs, thicknesses, different ways that they function.
