Sub Bezel Issue
I have an older 116610 SubC that was serviced earlier this year and now the bezel indices don't stay in line with the dial minute markers as the bezel has too much back-and-forth play between clicks.
Yeah, I know this is dumb but bugs me... Any ideas? I could take it to my local AD or watchmaker but would rather not. Thanks! |

I would send to the Rolex Service Center for repair. I’ve heard they have special tools to reassemble the bezel.

There’s always a smidge of play with the bezel IMO. Lining up can be fixed tho if it’s bothering you

Serviced by Dallas RSC but I'm not too eager to send it back just for this.
I removed the bezel a few months ago and the click springs look to be OK but could be worn(?). This is a V-serial number from 2009, so there we go.... Anyone have any experience with this? |

Recently had my bezel off for a cleaning. Took me 4 attempts to “re-seat” it correctly. It happens sometimes. Though most of the time I get it bang on.

I'm not a "crown has to be upright when screwed in" person but just curious to know if it's an easy tweak. Thanks, TRF peeps! |

Doesn’t the 116610 use the balls & springs as clicks? Are all of your balls in place on top of the springs? A different set of balls/springs might make a difference.
