Uploaded Fusion 360 file: *Not perfect, but something to work with for dimensions and adjusting friction ring. This watch bezel facilitates use of Seiko SKX style bezel inserts for Vostok Komandierskie, Amphibia, etc. Typical Vostok bezels are a non-click style. They are freely rotating with a retaining wire that provides the resistance for the movement of the bezel. While not particularly preferred by most accounts, the design is easily adaptable for use with 3D printing. In this case, the filament thickness at the base of the bezel replaces the need for the spring and provides the necessary friction to resist accidental movement. Print and install by applying pressure over the bezel ring when placed over the dial on the case of the watch. *There is a notable variance in the final product between 3D printers. Minor adjustment of the model may be required to ensure the appropriate fit for your watch/printer. Increasing/reducing the diameter of the "friction ring" at the base of the bezel is the quickest solution for for these adjustments. **Watch in this example is a Komandirskie Classic Vostok 65 Series case.
