Steve227 0 Posted August 2, 2010 Hey everyone. I've had my SOH Chrono a little while now and it easily gets the most wrist time. Saying that tho, wearing a watch so often also means that its going to pick up some scratches along the way. I've searched the forum for info but I think it is beyond redemption. The bezel insert has picked up some unsightly scratches and whilst at this stage hard to see when wearing, I know that its going to get progressively worse. I've tried to source the insert from the trusted dealers but without success. Sub bezel inserts seem to be widely available on the net but the Breits are sadly lacking. So, to the point (s) - has anyone ever sourced a bezel insert for a SOH or any top tips for repair? Here is a pic (bad one so apologies) of the wear in question. Have a good one!

Member X 91 Posted August 2, 2010 I have asked Mary this very question as I managed to put a minor graze across mine in the first week of having it... (I always do it quickly, it's just a matter of how quickly! lol) She said that the factory does not sell the inserts separately. I presume that they want to only order and sell components as complete watches Perhaps if we ask Mary we could do some sort of bulk order - I'd hope it wasn't too much money as I can't see it costing the factories that much to make... Then we could stockpile! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve227 0 Posted August 2, 2010 That sounds like a plan. Would quite happily buy a handful as I know I'll keep on scratching the f out of it! Just need to find everyone with a SOH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Member X 91 Posted August 2, 2010 Nice one, Steve. Ask her to ask the factory if they'd do price for 10 or 20 or 50, perhaps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve227 0 Posted August 19, 2010 Hey all, Mary got back and said that the factory do not keep spares and can't help. Bummer! Any thoughts? Ta! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted August 19, 2010 Not unless we approach the Insert factory direct, assuming it's not the one that assembles the end watches! LoL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
