Fuchsia insert with gen bezel that i’ve just got today.

It's slightly bigger than gen insert.

I also had to sand it so it would fit a wso bezel ring

did you have to sand just the size or the thickness too ? Just got mine (they are amazing) but I'm struggling a bit to fit it !

you have to sand the edges with fine grit sandpaper to snap it in. very easy to do - its a simple job. FINE GRIT not coarse!

Used 600 grit on the edge and a little on the bottom
Used 3m tape to hold it in place since it is a wso bezel assembly
Keep rotating the insert so you make it even when you sand it

Thanks for the answer,
And with the insert 90° from the sand paper or flat? (sorry stupid questions it's my first time)
I sand it down a bit (90°) but it doesn't really click and looks half a mm thicker than the bezel (viet case and bezel)

ist really hard to say - everything needs to be somewhat modded to fit a variety of different parts from different sources. if the diameter is too big, then just side the edges horizontally so that it snaps in.
