How To Tighten Loose Case Bezel
Hello Folks. Does anyone have a 'trick of the trade' method for tightening a loose bezel. I really can't justify spending $1K on the Watch Bezel Re-Sizing Tool A*F 167.771. I am using an aftermarket crystal on the 34mm 1500 case. But, when I got the watch, the bezel was quite easy to pull off. Any advise much appreciated. Cheers! -Norm

A bezel re-sizing tool is definitely what you need. Ohter option is getting a new bezel...
I've seen watchmakers use glue, but I'm very much against that. |

Go to someone who has big lathe with step chucks, you can use that probably to tighten your bezel also. Same principle, only not a stand alone tool as are the ones from AF or Rolex.

Yes that would most certainly work just as well.
