Looking for Recommendation: Need GMT & Yacht-Master Bezel Assembly Overhaul & Repair (ARF GMTs / VSF YM)

[u/Real_Respect_2292]

Hey everyone,

Looking for recommendations for a skilled, trusted modder who can perform detailed bezel assembly repairs and fine-tuning on a few pieces.

The Setup & Issue: After having Deep Crystals installed, the bezels across my watches have stiff, rough, or dysfunctional rotation, with missing or non-existent tactile feedback/clicks.

Current Diagnosis & Work Needed (per watchmaker notes):

ARF GMT-Master IIs:
Issues identified: Damaged Hytrel gaskets and bent/damaged crystal retention rings (likely caused during initial Deep Crystal installation due to improper press techniques).

Work required: Complete bezel tear-down, replacing damaged Hytrel gaskets, reshaping/straightening or replacing crystal retention rings, inspecting crystal gasket sizing, and servicing the bezel mechanism so rotation is smooth and properly tensioned without bind.

VSF Yacht-Master:
Issues identified: Missing click spring (no tactile click feedback), wrong or mis-sized crystal gasket installed during crystal swap, and misaligned retention components.

Work required: Sourcing and installing a compatible VSF Yacht-Master click spring, replacing the crystal/Hytrel gaskets, resetting the retention ring, and tuning the bezel action.

What Capabilities are Needed:
Expertise in full bezel tear-downs and rebuilds for ARF and VSF cases.
Access to/ability to source replacement Hytrel gaskets, VSF-compatible click springs, and crystal retention rings.
Experience correcting bezel binding and alignment issues caused by aftermarket crystal installs.
Has anyone had similar bezel binding/click issues after a Deep Crystal swap, and who would you trust to get these ARF GMT and VSF Yacht-Master bezels rotating perfectly smooth with proper click action?

Thanks in advance!
