bezel not clicking when turn

Hi. I ran into a door but I didn't hit it that hard. It put a small dent into the bezel nothing big, I have a submariner. Will it be hard to fix this? I'm worried I might need a new bezel.

A dented insert is an easy fix. If it doesn't click any more it's probably popped out above the click spring.

The fix is to take it off and reinstall it properly. If you are skilled you could even take the dent out of the insert..

I searched to find out about the clicking, didn't see anything. The dent is in the blue part around the bezel. It's a serti dial.

We need to know which model exactly it is?

Ceramic or pre-Ceramic?

I've deducted that it's pre-ceramic since those would be the only ones to actually click, due to the click spring ceramic models don't click

Ceramic models do indeed click. Two clicks per minute.

Indeed, your right, I was thinking of my GMT IIc. Still, does the ceramic sub have a click spring ??

I have just checked mine, why did they make 120 clicks full turn instead of 60?

So you can adjust it at down to 30 seconds increment.
