ARF Sea Dweller V2 loose bezel

**indywatchguy** · 03-09-2019, 04:33 AM

Does anyone have a solution to tighten up bezel clicks? Besides dental floss or fishing line!

It can have 4 springs with ballbearing attached, change the springs

If it has the above spring, you can bend it a little or get a new one on Ebay

It’s the new redline sea-dweller with the ceramic insert it uses springs. Where would I source the them?

No link for springs just the flat washer and click spring for classic style sub. I’ll check the bay.

I have had several of these on my bench now, all with springy bezels, there's not much you can do other than shave a tiny amount off the lower circumference of the crystal retainer.

Buy new springs!
I bought some with more tension, now the bezel is more tighten and click is much better.
You must cut them to right dimensions.
They where bought here.

How long did it take to receive them? I’m CONUS.

What did you use to cut the springs?

Springy bezels? My bezel sits nice and tight on case, no gap. I just need tighter turn and clicks. It moves with slightest pressure.

Yes, springy as in the bezels are sitting too proud of the mid-case, and rather than butcher/cut/trim the springs, I lower the retainer so it not only brings the bezel flash with the case, it also removes the springy up and down feel of the bezel.

Ok I get it. This wouldn’t help my bezel. There’s no up down play at all. It fits flush to the midcase.

Really don't know, maybe you get similar in the US.
I took a small side cutter to trim the springs.

Enjoy my friend!Thanks for the response!

Thanks to my friend @Tribal ! I received springs from him and followed his instructions. My ARF SD43 now has very nice sound and clicks very close to gen.

But how do you attach the ball bearings to the new springs?

ARF has different balls with a small pip on it.

Pip?

**capice** · 06-27-2019, 03:18 PM

@wimpie007 Use J-B weld and glue them on

Did you compare the click to the gen ?
