Yea that seems like more than I want to do myself. I wish other factories had the blue color nailed down like noob does. Is that still accurate or does anyone now have a better version?

Noob Pepsi ceramic insert is still king of the hill bro.

The link below shows the only sure fix, there is no gasket groove, it's just a ledge.

Noob GMT Pepsi's poor bezel design

A piece of .61mm fishline and some carefully placed 3M tape makes it better than new. It won't come back off without taking the crystal out first and separating the tape from the insert from underneath. Or you could take the movement out and heat or soak the case and bezel to loosen the tape glue.

The tape should cover the fishline but not touch the retaining ring. This keeps the line in place and still allows for normal rotation.
