10:10 Watch Repair 1 Posted November 26, 2012 tape or glue a sheet of sandpaper to a flat surface (glass is ideal.) Orient the bezel face down so the factory graining is parallel to the direction you will move it. Move bezel one direction only (not back and forth,) 1-2 times only, long strokes. Polish edges first BTW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
