How to put the bezel of my Explorer II back on

[manodeoro]

Hi
The bezel of my Explorer II was completely crooked and the crystal was too.
So I remove them both and now I'm wondering in which order I should proceed to put all that back.



My first idea was to put back :
1 - gasket on the case
2 - crystal into the gasket
3 - bezel on the gasket

But now I'm not certain ... perhaps :
1 - gasket on the case
​​2 - bezel on the gasket
3 - crystal in the gasket

Now I really hesitate cause I don't want to ruin anything.
So if somebody could give an advice it would be really helpful.
Thanks

i do gasket onto crystal, crstal/gasket onto case, press bezel onto case. Easiest way to get the cyclops perfect.

Thanks buddy

I'm not used to those fix bezels so I was really hesitating ... glad to see I was on the right way.
Next problem now is to get a crystal press or else to press the bezel because I cant do without I'm really wondering if the cheap ones on Amazon are just crap or if they work well

the cheap ones do ok for a bezel like this.

if youre going to do more than this watch though, invest in the rolex specific dies.

I've got a similar issue, how did you remove the bezel? Thanks

Well ... only the REALLY cheap ones on Amazon are eligible to be shipped in EU

I'll buy that one from Uhrencenter24 ... should do the job and I'll check if it can get Rolex specific bezel dies

I just gently worked around with one one those one side razor blades until the bezel is a little raised then continued with a pocket knife ... still gently
