Gen GMT ceramic bezel on the bay

[Jeran1mo]

I know I'm being picky, but it'd be nice if there was a chs version of this one. (they all arent timebombs, just ask sneed12) The reason I say this is after a relume the hands are such a bitch to get back on the ichs. just saying.... I'm sorely tempted to try this gen bezel setup on the BP. Looking really sharp!

Where did you send the hands for a relume, mate?

Pbdad can do it for you.

so true.
this was the biggest challenge in my build: multiple hand sets all the time trying not to molest the hands with marks and goo.
imo, in the end, the handstack is an overrated "flaw", ordinary people (ie: the rest of the world) has no idea and spotting this on the wrist is virtually impossible.

Pilworx you're so 'kind enough to put describes a tutorial on how to install the bezel with insert, so' to avoid damage to those who mounts? thank you!

eheheheh is true, and the dial of a hundred ... jokes aside and what 'the right procedure to do no harm?

 

[Jeran1mo]

He sent me this…

you need to put a very stiff sharp thin knife under the bezel and lift up with a lot of force. do not try to pry it up or you will leave serious marks on the case. i have a bezel removal tool which has four blades that go under four points and then allow you to apply equal force at four "corners" to lift it off but the knife method will work too.

you are going to need a press to put the new bezel on. you can't just push it on with your fingers. needs to pressed evenly all around with quite a bit of even steady controlled force.

good luck.

I think the key word is 'lift' and not wedge it (if my english is correct that is…). I also put tape around the watch case to avoid accidental scratches.

Good luck!!
