Noob’s new GMT bezels are poorly designed

So you understand, The bazel fell off, and need to reconnect it to the case again. The Retaining ring with the 3 points must be the connecting points, that keeps it together with the case?

The the rubber gasket is there, I see that. What is the mechanism that holds the bezel together? I used the watch and it just fell off.

Believe it or not..that rubber part. I made a how to on this....let me check for the link

You have to remove the glued on insert. Then assemble it on with the steps I give you. Just use 3m tape or rubber cement. Very easy and only held on by the plastic gasket

I could not understand why I had to remove the top, stupid solution but was quite understandable after moving it.

For those whose bezel gasket (hytrel ring) is lost or not usable, this fishline diameter worked as is on one I repaired for someone else. No sanding needed as I had to do on my own watch.

Using fishline and anchoring it with double-sided tape so it can't lift up has worked as a permanent solution on multiple Noob Pepsi samples.

The double-sided tape then anchors the insert back in place.

Here is another rep with the same bezel construction and the same solution applied.


Kudos to @ward1991 for flawless execution
