Hi,
I have an M9 Bulova 666 Snorkel Oceanographer, which I bought without bezel. I was lucky to find a NOS bezel, but am missing the part which made it click.
It makes me wonder if the bezel was bi/uni-directional and wether it used a spring or a click-ball ?
A part id or photo would be wonderful if possible.
My humble thanks for any input.
kind regards,
Nikolaj

They will be able to identify what type of click system was used (Some had none) and whether a generic type or other brand type can be substitued. As an example, I had a Snorkel that was missing the tension spring and a Rolex one fit perfectly.

I've added photos of the watch and bezel ring below; at a glance, a bezel spring could seem viable - but I will follow your advice and take it to a watchmaker, it needs a bit of service as well, as it's racing mighty fast. But what a splendid watch :)
Thank you, and thank you for this wonderful site!
Kind regards,
Nikolaj
