You want your 1680 bezel to click?

No, nor should it. 1680 bezels were not designed to click! They used the simple friction-based approach.

Thank-you all so much for the information. I never realised this.
It is very tight, very difficult to turn is this normal? |

Usually just needs cleaning by a person sensitive to and experienced in what it is.

Thats great thanks. I assume just clean it with a soft cloth. Would you use any products?
I can remove it quite easily i’ve done that before :) Is there a technique to actually turn it? I know modern subs just move. Do you have to apply preasure or anything like that? |
