CrPO bezel pearl

[Cheesemonger]

Wondering if someone can help me with this one. On my CrPO, the bezel pearl outer silver ring has what looks like a bit of lume from the pearl that "sloshed" onto the ring. I will try to take a close up photo tomorrow. However, I am wondering the best way to remove the lume overage. Is it a heat up type situation (if so, what device to use to heat) or possible scrape off the excess (which I am guessing not to do as that will probably scratch the ring).

any assistance is appreciated.
thanks!

Aha a fellow yinzer!

So I have the noob 42 CrPO and had the BP 45 so I picture the issue. Is it visible to naked eye or with a loupe ? What about dab of paint thinner on a tooth pick. This has worked for me with other similar issues (crappy bezel etc). If you use a loupe and an exacto you may be able to gently scrape as well. Other option is to PM Cwazy. I bet he'd know exactly what to do

I can see it with the naked eye. I was thinking a new pearl, but if there is a way to fix this one, I would like to go that route. I need to snap some photos to post so folks can see what I see on here.

I did not think of that, thanks!

I have the exact same issue. Is it a Noob as well? It looks like the tiny glass is too small to fit in the ring and pushed the lume out on the side. I'm considering selling it and getting another one. I'm not that handy with watch repair yet but it would seem impossble to take the glass out without damage.

 

[Cheesemonger]

Yep, it is the noob version.

any pic?

Here's a QC pic of mine. I think it's fairly evident but I unfortunately failed to spot it at the time.

 

[Cheesemonger]

I took some quick pics of the pearl. Let me know what you think.

If it's bare lume you should be able to scrape it away with a fingernail.

That is what I was thinking, but I was a bit afraid to ruin it further in case it is something else. Cwazy shot me a note and he is taking a look at it to see what we might be able to do. I am not sure if it is an overage of lume or a bad pearl.

I've tried scraping it with a wet toothpick as suggested by someone but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Would rubbing it with a cotton swab and some thinner help?

 

[JackP]

Try thinner on the tooth pick. A swab is too large. Either way I'd wait to hear back from cheesemonger about Cwazy's advice. Cwazy specializes in lume

Hi guys, quick question.. Where could i buy a replacement pearl for my PO 45mm? I've purchased one from ebay and it was too small. Is my only option contacting the dealer i bought the watch from?

Thanks in advance

That's the noob pearl? My bp has what looks like a flat glass protection on top of the lume
