Bezel Change

[digginstony]

Well I have a Seiko Skx and a turtle and my Mrs has questioned why I need two almost identical watches !

So I've got a used (Unused condition) Skx007 bezel awaiting arrival in the post. So I'm going to have a black bezel with a blue dial contrast. This is partly due to my lusting after an Orient Ray 2 but I don't want to pay the £200. Also I'm putting a blue canvas strap on.

I'm rambling so my question is what do you guys use on the bezel ring. I normally use the lightest smear of silicone grease on the ring and just a touch on the click springs (want of a better word.) And is there anything better I could use.

That sounds about right to me. I wonder whether they use any lubricants when assembling the watch bezel.

Or do they use anything as grease can attract dirt ?

Use very little on the gasket . Otherwise it could stick when pressed on.

That's my understanding

No grease is really needed there, but I put a very little anyway to help the o-ring stay in the groove and don't pinch on the case.

I will do that then and in the future. Thankyou

Job done but I did put just the slightest amount of grease on the clicks. I haven't a lot of experience with rotating bezels but to me they seem to be dirt traps, don't know if that's true. Value others opinion
