DON'T DO IT!!!!!

In Response To: Lube bezel? ()

: Sometimes the bezel on my SMP is stiff and
: difficult to turn. Can I use some kind of
: lube (say Triflow) to smooth that out, or
: will that do something bad? I won't make a
: move until I hear from you!

Your bezel probably just needs a minor adjustment in the spring tension from a qualified watchmaker. If you start squirting lubricant in there, you're likely to do more harm than good. This should be nothing more than a couple minutes' work for a watchmaker, so better to let a professional handle it than gum up your bezel with lubricants.

Good luck,
