Ceramic insert swap?

Recommended Posts

Mr_B

Been looking for some info on a ceramic bezel insert swap as I've got a new one on order for a GMT. Any tips appreciated. As far as I'm aware, a little heat on the insert with a soldering iron and some 3M double sided adhesive tape for the new insert?

Yes heat and very gently levering around circumference with a sharp blade although I've read lots of reports of broken inserts, not a problem if you are replacing though.

Heat it up with a hair dryer, then rotate / twist it off with the pearl as a grip. Dont use a soldering iron, the heat is too focused. Its held in on with a ring of double sided tape which covers the whole back of the insert.
