PAM243 Bezel HELP

[JGinBoston]

Hi guys-
I removed the bezel on my noob 243 and now can't get it back on. It just sits on the thin metal piece that fits into the case around the crystal but doesn't snap back into place. What could I be doing wrong? This is driving me nuts!! [emoji35]

Pictures would be helpful, but I can tell you for sure that the noob bezel easily snaps on to the metal click mechanism that is fixed to the case. I remove them with a case knife and replace them by snapping back on with two thumbs.

Thank you [MENTION=63540]Grimlocktime[/MENTION]. Here are some photos of the various pieces. The bezel sits in the case but won't snap in or push down. It's just raised by the two nubs on the wire.

You can see that retaining wire under the bezel? It needs to be bent slightly more so it will snap back on.

Thank you for pointing that out. So it needs to be bent in more so it's less visible?

This appears to be an H factory bezel, not noob.

Heres a noob



the HF takes a bit more pressure to snap back on. I recommend a crystal press

(once again HF FTMFL LOL)

Interesting. I know that it has 60 clicks and not 120 like I thought the H fac one had...

Old H maker had 120 clicks
New versions come with 60 clicks as per gen

Thank you [MENTION=35350]ALE7575[/MENTION] for the info. So we've confirmed it's not a Noob fac model? I'm kind of pissed as it was sold to me as a Noob V3 by a member.

Does anyone know how I can reattach this bezel based on the photos I've attached?

 

[JGinBoston]

Bump

[MENTION=35350]ALE7575[/MENTION] do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong here, or how these ultimately attach? I'm pulling my hair out.

I have absolutely no experience with watch fiddling and even less so with a bezel on a pam but ...

looking at the bezel strictly from a mechanical point of view as if it were just a piece of some machinery, I would start by inserting the side with the spring on first so that it seats and I could push the bezel in the opposite direction to compress the spring.

Take this advice with a grain of salt because as I said I have no experience with watch bezels ...just trying to help by digging into some mechanical.
