Re: SMP Loose Bezel
In Response To: SMP Loose Bezel ()

: I was just putting my watch away and noticed
: when I press down on the bezel around the 6
: o'clock mark, the bezel appears to be loose
: and makes a slight clicking noise when i
: press down on it. This happens if I press
: anywhere from around the 20 to 40 marks. If
: I rotate the bezel the looseness appears to
: follow the markings on the bezel and not
: stay near the watch's 6 o'clock position.
: Any ideas what is wrong? What could have
: caused this? What needs to be done to fix
: it?

It could be a simple thing like a loose spring. Regardless, any competent watchmaker could probably fix it in a matter of a few minutes, so I wouldn't worry. If your watch is still under warranty, technically Omega has to repair it to keep your warranty intact. Otherwise, if the warranty has expired, you can let any watchmaker of your choice do the repair.

Good luck,
John
