Help!

So, i was in the process of removing the bezel to send Steve ( an absolute gentleman by the way) for this mod and did exactly what he told me to be careful not to do, lost one of the pins that holds the bezel on. It was a combination of a crying baby, barking dog and unsteady hands!

This is a brand new no date v7 from BK so I am furious with myself and panicking I have screwed the watch.

I do have a noob dssd that I have been using to experiment on so can use for parts. I have taken the bezel off and the pins look the same but the bezel doesn't seem to fit properly.

Does anyone know if the pins are interchangeable or I can source them from anywhere? I have had a search on google and can't find any answers that don't involve genuine rolex parts from rolex themselves...

Any help would be gratefully received.

I am sure someone has an extra one of those laying around. Did you loose the one way pin or one of the other 3? Do you still have the spring?

It was the top right pin (between the 12 and 3 markers). I still have everything else - I was trying to bag them up for safe keeping and it flipped out the tweezers..

If anyone does have one please do let me know.....

My Hulk has one bezel click pin missing, still works exactly as it should. Remove the insert from the bezel a set it aside (careful it is very delicate!) then push the bezel back onto the case, I bet you can't even tell there is a pin missing

Theses pins are interchangeable, the bezel works good even you lost one of them, but don't lost the one at 7......

My bezel from steve can in. I compared it to my Gen SD4k, the color is EXACTLY the same! I have no idea how he is able to get it perfect, but he did.
I am definitely doing this to Every Ceramic Rep I have. This mod essentially makes this into as close to Gen as you are going to get and is WAY cheaper then buying a Gen insert!
I highly recommend this to anyone that wants to make their Rep look legit! Below is a picture of Steve's mod insert (it is a DSSD insert) next to my Gen SD4k. Because they are different size inserts you can't compare the number size, I am posting the picture for reference to the color only.
