Try dental floss to free up the grime under the bezel. It might just do the trick.

Are Navitimer bezels normally difficult to rotate ? Does it need lubricating ? |

Mine slides without effort. I don't know of they lubricate that part when serviced. |

Assuming the bezel isn't damaged it's usually dirt / grime. Not lubricated during servicing, just cleaned. |

We had similar thread: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=60258 Last post in that thread by Revox says: Revox wrote: I just reversed my own Navitimer.. Below the Bezel there are two gaskets: a white PTFE (Teflon) one and above an black O-Ring.
The PTFE Gasket should allow a smooth turning operation. If there is dirt or the gasket is worn off, it will not turn smoothly any more.. Flight pressure has normally nothing to do with it, just a bad coincidence that it recognized it first after the flight. I made the new gasket myself out of a PTFE Foil with 0.2mm thickness but am looking for a supplier which can deliver me a professional one... Regards Werner P.S. If anybody is more interested in this I can also supply some pictures.. |

The navitimer slide rule bezel is meant to have rotate at a smooth controlled pace. Granted an 'initial push' is required to get the bezel going. When I first got my navitimer world, the bezel was definitely hard to rotate in comparison with other navitimer. Unfortunately I noticed this after I purchased the watch. I returned it to the boutique and the watch was sent to the maintenance center were they addressed the problem. It now has a very smooth swing. |
