- Divers watch bezel not working? If it's stuck or a bit too tight, you can fix it at home. It's a simple task. All you need is some WD-40 with a tiny nozzle. Spray some of the solution on the gap between the watch head and the bezel. Let it penetrate and sit for a few minutes. Wiper off excess liquid with paper towels. Try if it works. Repeat if necessary.
And it's that easy!

WD-40 has solvents in it that will destroy a silicone washer in a short period of time.
This worked for me, added a very small quality and now my bezel is very smooth. I would not add near the crown , but at 6,12 and 3 o clock
I clean it with a soft toothbrush and lightly soapy water first then spray silicon lubricant on a sponge and rub the gasket/inside of the bezel on the sponge and that’s enough.
Strikehold also works pretty well too! I like StrikeHold because it dries and doesn't attract dirt as much. I had a stuck bezel and did the StrikeHold attempt and waited 5 minutes and it was still stuck. While watching this video I tried it again and it did work. Might be worth waiting 10 minutes instead of 5.
Soap, warm water and and an old toothbrush will fix most sticky bezel issues and always best to try first. Avoid solvents or you might find your bezel insert decides to go off and explore on its own!
wouldn't wd40 ruin the gaskets by the crystal?
Yes
I just got a Casio Duro from amazon and I wasnt sure it was already used. Also the bezel didnt move AT ALL and I was about to return it. Funny thing, I didnt remove the screen protector (because I was cautious) and this was what fixed the bezel 🤦🏻♂️
I just got in a Casio Duro yesterday. Bezel stuck as well. The screen protector does not seem to be interfering with bezel. maybe i will remove it anyway to see if that helps, otherwise, going to send it back
You need to take off the bezel, clean and lube gasket. I fixed a 6309 turtle just like that with no WD40.
WD 40 is not good to use for this. Sure it will get in and loosen it but it will dry out and then provide no lubrication. You need to drip some oil in.
Same, I use 3 in 1.
Mine was locked solid, after the treatment: 👍
Thanks!
BAD ADVICE! DO NOT USE WD40!!! It will damage your watch!
Agree- silicon lubricant on a sponge and then wipe the inside of the bezel and the gasket on it. Takes an extra 2 minutes and won’t rot the gasket or seize up within a month or two
Don't do this, only silicon oil for watches
Ballistol is the only non silicone I would trust.
@@180slowscope8I was thinking of using good ol’ Ballistol also.
I googled SKX007 bezel getting tighter…found this video and BOOM…the bezel 5 mins before WD40 was struggling to move at all, this had only happened over a couple of days…a few squirts and 5 mins later as good as ever!!! being greedy I’ve done it again to double up the goodness. Cheers for the video 👍🏻
Worked perfectly . Thank you!
I have a Citizen promaster BNO 150 for five months now.
Only on my wrist, never even been in the water.
The bezel just started to get almost impossible to move ??
Did this on my SRPD79. Totally worked!
? 8 min video about WD40. The way to do it, is properly. Remove the bezel, regrease and replace. This is bargain basement stuff. WD40 is also corrosive,
no it's not lol it's just de-icer
I have an Invicta with a non-rotating bezel. After wearing it for a month I noticed the bezel is actually rotating in both directions and it feels like I could easily pry it off. Invicta's warranty doesn't cover this issue. Should I j7st pry it off then super glue it back in place?
Why not do it properly and pop the bezel off and fit a new o-ring?
I have an Aragon Divemaster II which I got just 3 weeks ago. Yesterday I noticed that the bezel suddenly took a lot of effort to turn, until it just became too hard to turn. I tried putting in some oil but it didn't help. Dunno if I can still turn it. This watch effing sucks.
great.., I took mine off and put it back on .. oiled it.. its like it is welded in place
Worked!!
Never use WD40 on a watch..
Jesus, speed this up, cut the first 3 minutes...
I found the slowness of this video very helpful. After 40 years of using WD40, I now know where you insert the red straw into the nozzle
i use chain lube and it also work
thank you sir. I tried what u said and its f*cking smooth! 😉
u deserve more likes on this video
Like a champ
Great now all the dirt and sand are gonna stick to the wd40, 😅😅😅
Mineral or Singer oil works for me .. WD40 too messy
The background music ruins the video.
3&1.... Good video just saying three and one is much better
doesnt work
One of the most irresponsible watch "repair" videos I've ever seen. For God's sake, either remove the bezel & clean the gunk out that's making it stick (or repair/replace the bezel spring if needed) or take it somewhere that will do that for you. DON'T DOUSE YOUR EXPENSIVE WATCH IN HIGHLY PENETRATIVE SOLVENTS THAT WILL DESTROY IT!!
Why has NOBODY tried to make a BETTER bezel? Obviously, these watch companies use a flawed design that they refuse to improve on. That's why I refuse to buy watches with bezels. I have a Wenger watch with a bezel and it is totally impossible to remove it. I can't get anything to fit in that impossible gap on the watch and struggling for five minutes does nothing. I suggest staying away from watches with these. Just use a watch with a timer instead if you have to go diving.
User beware
Take this video down! Terrible advice and you are going to get people to ruin their hard earned watches!
