Hi guys,

Can anyone please give a technical advise on how to align the bezel on my new PAM683.

Is the ceramic bezel on this PAM stuck with glue?

And will using a hair dryer to heat it up be able to slightly turn the bezel to align with the hour markers on the dial?

I think the entire bezel should be centered. I haven't had a model with an insert, but I think that the metal circles and a glass with pearl are fixed on the metal base of the bezel, and the insert cannot be rotated separately...

That is, it is pointless to peel off the insert, you probably need to remove the entire bezel for alignment.

The bezel insert is ceramic, so I think it will snap to try to peel it off the bezel.

I don’t know if the insert is glued or snap fitted on the bezel?

The holes in the ceramic insert have cylinders that are attached to the base. How do you want to move the ceramics along with the marks?
