GMTmaster bezel spring help?

Hi - just checking if anyone might be able to confirm the part number for the bezel spring for the 16700 and 16710 please? Not sure if both use the same spring and if it might be 317-16700 or 317-16710? Many thanks.

The original bezel spring was shorter and made the movement stiffer in one direction. It was also stronger so the end would wear and break off making it a uni-direction spring.

The later springs, and likely a later part number, are longer to eliminate the issues with the original.

Either will work.

I believe you are asking about Bezel tension spring but you are quoting the "317" part number which is for the "clicker - bezel click spring."

I believe the correct prefix for the tension spring is or was 316.
