Ok, so it's lame easy. The NWBIG 6.5 SS big bang has a few flaws. One I noticed that was an easy fix. The side of the ss bezel should be polished. It comes brushed. So, removed bezel, pulled out my dremel tool and polished it up. It's not totally "Fixed" as you can see with the close up, but at arms length, close enough! This is my second such watch. The first stopped ticking and I gave it to a fellow RWI brother in France while visiting. Even this one has a few "Miles" on it. One of my favorites...

I am quite surprised, this model in rep is so highly regarded that I would not expect such flaw at all

Some of those found in the NWBIG have some pretty obvious flaws. IMO..... Example, any Omega, Breitling or IWC found there should have double anti reflective crystal added, because the gens do.

Good points, I guess we should really not rely on that list too much.

I bought a ceramic bezel and would like to replace the steel bezel with it. My question is: is it easy to remove the screws? And after installing the new bezel will I need to use something to be sure they don't unscrew?

I bought a few replacement screws in case I damage them so this is not a concern to me. I will probably replace the band too as I have a rubber and leather strap with red stitching.

Than you. I have the tool and the screws on their way, I'll post the outcome when done.
