Advice on bezel removal / realignment

[Iand 0]

Hi people

 

I have a daytona ice blue dial quartz micro stepper , argh quartz you say, anyway, it has a ceramic bezel with etched numbers and what I assume is white paint in the recess's.

 

I have soaked bezels which were glued before and cleaned off and re applied contact adhesive and voila done, I'm a little confused if this bezel is glued or not? And concerned that if I soak it the white numbers will dissolve, incidentally there is slight wear on a number compared to the others.

 

If I did need to soak to remove what is the paint of choice to re-paint?

 

Any advice is appreciated

I'd have to see it, in hand with a loupe, to begin to suggest how to take it apart...
