Hello,

I'm asking you to help me because I have a PEPSI CLEAN GMT MASTER 2, and I disassembled the bezel to clean it and remove grease, but after finishing my operation and putting the click back on, it doesn't clip on the 3 points. The bezel came off.

I've searched all the tutorials on the forum, but I can't find one that explains how to clip the bezel onto the 3 points.

Please help me, I'm in a panic.

Then it is best to post your problem on that thread and I am sure someone will be able to walk you through it. You might also not be able to push the bezel back on by using your fingers / hand. Also find it hard to believe that you went through that whole thread in less then an hour.

Dont panic, or things will break! Do you have a watchsmith near you? It shouldnt cost much for them to clip that back in place for you


Have you tried placing the gasket on the bezel itself instead first?

Put the click spring into the back of the bezel ring (3 holes) and then mount the bezel onto the watch. Be sure the hytrel ring is also mounted in its groove inside the bezel ring.

Also make sure your bezel tension ring (large washer) is seated flush to the case and not riding up on top of the retaining ring scallops.

Should fit like in top half, NOT like in bottom half of the pic.

A lot of these washers were not cut right and have too small an inside diameter. They can be sanded to fit properly.

How do I remove this part? Because it is completely clipped into the watch and there are the bezel notches on top .

I managed to remove this ring, here's the procedure I follow.



I put the gasket directly on the bezel, then I clip the 3 points of the ring on the bezel. Then, I put the ring around the teeth on the watch, and when I clip the bezel on the watch, no clip is made, the bezel doesn't hold and comes off. In fact, I don't understand the system that locks the bezel onto the watch.

The bezel gasket (hytrel ring) locks the bezel under the retaining ring lip.

Study these two threads carefully. All of your questions will be addressed.

I bet you have not read everything. I quotet the relevant things from @KJ2020 where he explains the function of a hyrtel ring in the mentioned thread. but if you have read and understood, why you send me photos like follow and asking why the bezel doesnt stay? I mean come on :)

That doesn't look right, pretty sure the gasket ring is not supposed to sit like that.
