Has anyone had this experience? Purchased around 2yrs ago and worn maybe 10 times in total max. The last time I wore it, got home, and realised 2 of the markers are floating inside between the dial & crystal. There was no hard knock to it.

And how can I fix this myself? What tools would I need & what to look out for? I just cannot be bothered sending it to a watch smith.

Thanks!

If it’s a white dial I’m selling a zf white dial which is very good

Thanks but I think I'll be able to glue the markers back in place if I can just pull the watch apart.

Thanks for the offer but specifically looking for advice on how to remove the bezel. I plan to just glue the markers back.

I removed the case back, but there are sunken screws that hold onto the screws from the bezel side. What is the tool that I need to get to remove those sunken screws?

I have a AP ROO 15400 made by BP. The removal process is the same. Unscrew the screws on the front, the back as well. You do not need to release the crown since AP you can access the front of y our watch unlike Rolex. use glue to tape it back. Easily done.

Thanks for the input; I had the question answered in the stickied thread on swapping crystals. The OP for that thread used a fine tweezer to remove the screws, but the ones for the 15400 is smaller so that's not possible.

jeremyhuang13 you can't unscrew the screws in the front (on the bezel you mean?) unless you first unscrew the case back, and then unscrew the sunken screws (the ones I'm having trouble with). Unless I'm misinterpreting what you're trying to describe?
