OMG. It just came off? Just like that?

 

[GeDi]

yes ...crazy the first day i received the watch

the bezel was very loose and as i manipulated it came off!!!

Push the metal ring off the crystal, fit the crystal back on the watch and push the metal ring over the crystal. It compresses the crystal over the case

the bezel is very loose see the video on my other thread...

If i do this the plexi will not be water resistant

 

[markh]

you can glue it back in. by the way, where's that leather nato strap from?

 

[GeDi]

If i glue it back, it wont be water resistant.

The nato is from clockworks.

The wire type metal retaining spring should be fitted in a recess of the bezel, have a close look to see if you can find this recess, then fit it carefully all the way round, then after fitting your crystal, trial fit the bezel assembly on top, and gently, but evenly press the bezel assembly in place. A press would be ideal though.

I do t think it will be waterproof after doing this.
Anyway i shipped back to Ryan to fix or hopefully replace.

Put the crystal on then apply epoxy around the edges and a little on the outer wall of the crystal. While the glue is still wet, press on the retainer ring. It will offer WR if you do it right.

It will be water resistant with glue (shower/hand wash) would dive with a rep unless you get a modder to do a serious waterproof
