These 126610 bezel gaskets from CF and VSF are rubbish. Both broke when removing the bezel.. even using the proper tooling. Two brand new watches left useless!!
factories really need to start selling these parts if they are going to make them a one time use part. They don’t even seem gen spec so it’s almost impossible to find anything that’ll work properly.

I’ll have a crack at the eBay ones but I’ve had hit & miss with those WSO990 ones. Can anyone confirm they home up on the vsf 126610. Hopefully they also fit The CF 126610

thanks once again mate :) the fishing line is a good idea! I wish I had seen this post before i went to all
trouble to machine a couple up. Bloody hard to get the sizing right, like you said the bezel is literally impossible to get off if you go to big lol. Ended up working out in the end

Amazing work there bro!
