That's a great tutorial - my CF bezel has arrived and it is a clear improvement of the Noob one!

Are you installing it?

Well after reading the tutorial I'm going to leave it to an expert - but thank you for putting it together! Have tried messaging ado213 as I'm based in the UK

red1 - Very nice tutorial and thank you. I have all the tools now and will be doing this myself from now on. A lot of local watch smiths are not as considerate of the LEC and bezel lining up correctly.

hi

I have two questions

what is the correct colour of the joint: white or semi-transparent?

is there a side or a "mounting direction" for the assembly of the gasket?

thank you

Great thread OP - really useful stuff.

Quick question - does anyone know if it's possible to swap out a ceramic bezel from an Arf V2 Daytona for an all metal one?

My Daytona (Noob v3) bezel just started spinning and fell off today. It’s not damaged and previously was rock solid.

Why would it all of a sudden be so easy to put on/off? Did the gasket shrink 2 sizes overnight?

Thoughts on securing? I don’t want to use glue. The crystal is still solid in the case.

I knew someone puts a silicone sealant thread. Sealant useful to hold, protect but not fix like a glue. Little, well distributed, so as not to create thickness

hi is anyone aware of slightly thicker gaskets for these, perhaps 29.6dia? reason being i just completed a replacement of my noob bezel with a cf and the replacement bezel went on too easily for my liking so i'd like to tighten up the fit.
