loose screws on Breitling Blacksteel bezel, incl fix

[guru]

I heard that 2 guys already lost a screw on the blacksteel bezel.
So I checked mine and the problem with the screws is, that
these are no real screws holding the bezel.
I also have 4 screws which are loose, they wind in both directions
but do not come out of the hole.
I am worried now to loose a screw.

Any idea on how to fix it?

I think the best idea would be to pop them out and epoxy them in... they're going to come out at some point...

that is what I would like to do. Question is, how to pop them out.
no way to get under the screw.

Maybe heat the bezel? Create enough space to allow them to drop out....

I was thinking about the fix the complete morning, some people have used a blade but my screws didn't come out as much so that I couldn't use a sharp blade.

I found the answer using my case opener tool, the old plasticine / moddeling material, no problem to get them out.

Here is a quick pic

I only can advise every Black Steel owner to check the screws. Get the loose ones out and glue them back in. I have used Loctite 243 today. It is still drying and if the Loctite is not doing the job, I glue them back in.
