    PRS 50 LE bezel click spring needed

    Hi all, I acquired a PRS 50LE a while ago and sent it off for Service and to have original spec waterproofing restored. During the service it turned out the bezel click spring is broken, and it’s now still with the service centre while I try to source a replacement.

    Anyone have any ideas where I may find one? I have tried Kemmner.

    Thanks,

    Most broken ratchet bezel springs can often be reused.

    I think this would have been manufactured either by Zeno or Walter Fricker but I'm sure someone should be able to confirm.

    it’s still with the workshop now, the watchmaker does say it can be re used but since I’m trying to bring it back to spec I’d rather have a new one. Is the a downside to reusing the old spring, like losing the one way?

    Fricker did make some but this is a Kemmner, probably used the same drawings.

    Good luck. Perhaps Fricker can help.

    But see Eddie's comment above: This one is a Kemmner.

    Out of interest, if I may ask, what did Kemmner say when you contacted him/them?
