Soaking the watch bezel down in a glass of water with 1 drop of Dawn soap overnight helps. Typically it’s dirt & sand that makes the bezel hard to turn. I use the lube used in hair clippers very thin, doubles as a cleaner and very safe on skin.
A couple little drops of electric razor oil is light and does not get gummy. You could have shot a little lube into a small cap or container and dab on with a fine point of some sort. Neater and more controlled. But that, yes DIY!
Hi thanks, actually I dropped it (ugh) and broke the crystal so sent it to a repair shop in Pasadena, CA It'll be 6-8 weeks to fix & do complete service & possible "refurbish".
@@1947froggy A friend of mine used silicon spray into the hinge of a brand-new shotgun, having thought the hinge to be somewhat stiff. The silicon expanded and siezed the hinge. It was a real 'panic' situation, which he was able to sort out by carefully cleaning and re-oiling with a low-viscosity Q20-type lubricant. The seizure left slight damage on the hinge shaft. So, I thought the same would apply to a watch bezel. I find that Wahl hairclipper oil is best for my divewatch bezels.

Can also try putting it in a bowl of lukewarm water for about 5 minutes.
You can remove the bezel and just lube the gasket in silicone grease pad.

Thanks!
Will the rubber gasket inside be affected by the solution?
So far as I can tell it does not get to the gasket, the MAIN gasket is on the back screw off side.

Hi is your oil petroleum based?
Not sure, there is some lube called watch butter or close to that, probably better.
@froggy Thankyou!
Thank-you, my friend!
Easy!
Can you also use it on a titanium bezel ????
I would if it were mine.
Don't forget to lubricate the movement with that can.
Ya think?
;)
Good information. If you're brave enough to do it on a Rolex, I can definitely try it on a Seiko beater!!✌👍👍👍
It was easy, just watch that little spring.
Grand Seiko ?
You're welcome for the 2 million views.
Thanks, 6 million now.

You should use seeing machine oil. Extremely low viscosity

Do NOT use silicon lube on your bezel. It expands and will sieze it up!
Never heard that one, thanks.

@@rickspencer957 Thanks, maybe there was some "other ingredient" in the silicone, as you know there are hundreds of types/brands. :)
What's this about 2,000,000 views? Your video has 11,600 as of my comment. Anyhow, you need to use silicone lubricant, not something oil-based.
Thats for ALL my videos & thx. I agree.
Can i yse wd-40
Mmmm, I would not use any "oil" based lubes, they eventually attract dust/dirt. Thanks!
Awesome it works.
Do what froggy does people
Thanks, just showing folks it's not some magic "only Rolex can do it" thing.
