Which glue for a ceramic bezel?

Recommended Posts

michel7752

The ceramic bezel insert of my Oysterflex Yachtmaster jumped out for the second time. Originally, it had been glued with a somehow soft glue.

Which glue should I use in order to fix the bezel, and where can I buy it (e.g. Amazon, ebay)?

I had an issue with the strap on my Nautilus, and I used Loctite glue that comes with a tiny brush similar to womens nail varnish, much better and no mess.

 

Good luck

Thank you. Is Loctite hard-solid when dry, or also somehow soft-elastic like when the bezel insert was glued originally?

Use a very thin double sided adhesive film. You can buy it especially cut for bezels on ebay.

Thank you very much. I can find several types of double sided adhesive tape/film on eBay, but not especially cut for bezels. Would you have a link?

I ordered their standard size "3M adhesive rings for bezel inserts" (10 pieces) advertised for SKX007 Seiko watch variants. They fit the 40mm Rolex bezel inserts perfectly and are top quality. It took me 60 seconds to fix the insert again to the bezel - and I guess it will now stay there for an eternity.

 

Thanks again for this tip. I highly recommend these adhesive rings.

If I need an adhesive ring I'll know exactly where to go now. Inserts made easy and painless.
