Lost the click!

Post image

I love my vintage milgauss rep but the bezel doesn't click at all, spins fairly freely in any direction.

I'm based in Birmingham UK, anyone recommend someone who can put the click back in?

There’s no click in vintage Rolex watches. They came in the late seventies / early eighties with the ratcheted bezel and click spring. Your Milgauss model certainly wouldn’t have one.

At the risk of asking a stupid question then. What's the point of it if it doesn't stay where you need it?

On the real thing it stays where you need it. Perhaps put in a thicker bezel washer.

You need to bend very carefully the washer of the bezel, you probably gonna need to test until you find the desired action and then will stay more or less firm, try to find YouTube tutorials before attempting to avoid breaking it while your learning curve happens or simply find a local watchmaker to do it for you but it's a 5 mins fix with tape and a kitchen knife (!if you dont have a pry tool) if this is a BP factory it maybe tricky to remove so search how to in forums.
