Issue NOW RESOLVED with TD. Need advice.

Yeah, I don’t buy the gold filled claim, it’s just a way to charge more

Let’s hope an adhesive ring with 3m adhesive like I’m going to use will successfully stick the insert back on in everyone’s case

Hold up ....

@Tommy Tom

If you can give me the I/D and O/D I just may have a bezel insert, sorry, I'm not familiar with this model so was it a ceramic or metal insert ?

The one I have is a Black with White Numeral Ceramic, bought it from AliX, but wouldn't fit the Blaken watch I have, if this one will fit you can have it FOC, just pay the postage

Thanks Dave2302. As I don't have the insert anymore it will be a little tricky but I'll get the calipers out and measure where it is placed on the watch. Really appreciate your post.

16 years. wow....
If it's one or two years, understandable since the glue might turn aged.
But two days...., then I'm accused of offering bad QC. As far as I know, that's not a JKF practice for quality.
Maybe I should take some more efforts to try to take off each bezel insert in future QC to test whether the glue is solid enough? lol

Mreplica I wasn't accusing you of bad QC, and I'm sorry if that is how it came across. I know you are trusted and the watch is perfect apart from this issue (the movement being the most important and it's running perfectly). I just haven't bought a rep since 2008 and wanted advice on what others, who have more recent experience, would do. I hope I emphasised how great the buying experience with you was?

I'll just buy another one and make sure it is superglued on when I replace it. Lesson learned on buying reps in 2025.

I really appreciate all your feedback and I understand. I want to thank Marv for being so accommodating and I am putting in another order for a different Daytona today. Great fun and it's not like I'll ever even see a genuine one let alone be able to afford one!

These are the adhesive rings I have. For a Daytona, you really ought to measure your bezel to make sure they are the correct size

Here is my thread about what I’m going to do to re adhere my insert:
