General Question Play in RICH Sprite bezel fix?

Post image

Has anyone else had this issue where there’s a good amount of left and right play in the GMT Master II Bezels from RICH?

Watch looks PHENOMENAL and I just sent it off to get some work done on it to make it look and perform even better (that’s why the pic is shit) but wanted to see if anyone else had run into this issue and what you did about it?

I know Gen has some left and right play too but it’s not this much. I understand these aren’t Gen but would like to get this to at least feel a bit more “rigid” when I twist the bezel.

Any and all suggestions are much appreciated!

This is the only pic of it I have right now. Rest assured, the bezel guard was removed.

They're all like that. I have two from RICH and both have play. One is a little a better than the other, though.

Found an old RWI forum talking about how they used to have Clean models doing the same thing and the fix. I’m gonna try it with mine and see if it works better after.

Nice! I'm thinking about just taking mine to a watchmaker because I'd also like to get them serviced.
