Stuck Bezel YM-40
Hi all- so as the title states my bezel on my 16623 is completely stuck, it will not rotate in either direction. I carefully removed the bezel and separated the washer and tiny spring. I cleaned the bezel, washer and watch case with soap and water. I replaced the washer, tiny spring and snapped the bezel back into place- no luck its still stuck as as before. The spring looked as it should. Any thoughts on why it won’t rotate- do i need a new bezel spring? There was a lot of crud underneath the bezel- I figured that was the problem.
Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like it is still dirty. Maybe a little silicon grease would help.

Try it without the spring; it should rotate freely without any "clicking".
If it still does not rotate at all, it is binding somewhere or not completely in place.
