While attempting to realign my bezel on my VSF 382 the entire insert and glass came off with it an now I can't seem to get it back on. I can get either the right or left side back in but the opposite side won't budge with a lot of pressure. I read that it's basically impossible to get back in once it comes out so I may be screwed. Any ideas? Thanks.

You'll need a press and the holes on the bottom of the bezel need to align perfectly in order for the bezel to seat flush again when you press it together

Yeah they were when I tried but I ordered one and if it doesn't work I guess I'll just sell it for parts or something, appreciate the help.

Jk :) make sure the edges of the die are outside the xtal. Don't have anything pressing into the xtal or that is a real chance

If you know a rep-friendly watchmaker, I would suggest bringing it to them if you are not comfortable with returning the bezel back into place. But I guess you've gone this far and removed the bezel by yourself, if you're up to it, might as well bite the bullet and go for it. Let us know what happens. :)
