tsomers 0 Posted June 2, 2011 Well I bought Trevor's bezel to replace mine that I got on the 249.99 DSSD from PWC. I thought I would just follow John's post on how to remove the subs bezel. So I finally got it off, nicked the shit out of the watch prying it off only to discover the bezel insert is glue on! Well I got the bezel back on and now it doesn't turn at all! Ugh! I am a loser. So I am looking for someone here in the states to send it to. I would need the bezel put back on correctly and the insert from Trevor glued on. Please help, if you can, PM me.

Thanks Let me see if I have this straight, "you are a dumb ass" and you fucked up your rep? Let me put it another way, if I were to admit that I'd dropped my 50mm Parnis U-Boat on the tile floor this morning I would also "be a dumb ass" considering the minute and second hand would have come off. That being said if I had done this, I would send it to Mike McNair for Numba Fuck'n One Repair Job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeMcNair 0 Posted June 3, 2011 inner bezel replacement is actually harder that ENTIRE bezel replacement, but something tells me you already know this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverspeed 10 Posted June 3, 2011 The best way to change a bezel insert, is to remove the crystal and place a sharp blade under the insert and gently slide it round. remove the old glue and simply glue the new insert on. The bezels on the DSSD are very hard to remove Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted June 3, 2011 Warm it up with hair drier will activate the glue and it's easy to replace them then . As silver said get something sharp under the bezel insert and work it around. Worth noting you may crack your old bezel so only any good if you are going to replace the bezel not for doing the pearl mod to center it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
