LightGeek 25 Posted November 4, 2014 Being out of practice, I removed the 6 screws on the case back thinking it would be an easy job. It wasn't. Looked around the bezel ring and there was no notch to assist with popping the ring/crystal. I was almost going to give up and just sell the thing until I remembered I had a bezel remover and thought I'd give it a whirl. <hang on while I post from the phone> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted November 4, 2014 Damn Tapatalk stopped licensing the image editor so these pictures are a bit rough. See the baby pube betweeen 12 and 1? No? Only shows up at certain angles. Bezel removed -- easy with the right tool. There's that baby pube. Gently pry the dial/movement out. Everything is held in place by the stem, pressed bezel, and a few slivers of double stick tape. I wonder if this is how the Swiss do it? Probably higher calibre tape I surmise. Here is my makeshift method to realign the date window. Notice I said date window and not date wheel because technically I'm not moving the latter. Understand how it's done? HINT: The rubber handle on the large screwdriver has something to do with it.

LightGeek 25 Posted November 4, 2014 I thought I had a close up pic of the misalignment but here is the fixed version. Gentle press to reaffix the bezel/crystal. The initial "snap" always makes me cringe as I've cracked a crystal once. Granted that was a glass caseback that I didn't take care to protect and not a front crystal.

LightGeek 25 Posted November 4, 2014 Before fully sealing, ensure there is no crap left behind. In this case, you see the big chunk of whatever and a small dot of white dust under the center of the dial. Almost complete. Swap the strangely soft, but too long strap for something I have in the drawer. Bit darker but I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
