Tutorial: How to fix the Bezel on a CLEAN GMT Master 2

[KJ2020]

Okk so you say it's a VSF but now I have a problem I should change the ring for he this one that mounts now is strange I mean it's lower in fact the ceramic bezel protrudes as you can see from the previously posted photo where can I find it ?? And which one is compatible ?? Thank you...

Where did you get the watch? It looks like the ceramic insert was changed to an aftermarket one. It should not have come from the factory that way. Xing inserts are thicker than rep factory ones.

Look here at how the factory insert sits

I bought it from a friend saying it was a clean v3 but in fact it had all the coean films it had the label on the bottom and on the strap it was written 3285 v3 then I saw that with the purple light the bezel turned all red under the light the movement was that I didn't think it was not clean then after a while I started to see the defects like the steel ring that is strange it is flatter later I will take more photos to let you see then the dial I will also have to change it because the pre 6 stick is crooked And the claps of the strap is hard ....... These are all things that I will have to solve if any of you help me understand how I should do

A CLEAN insert is very thin. If you get a real one for replacement it should fit OK. Unless you have changed hands and dial before you should let someone with experience do it, or practice a few times on a junk watch. The Rollerball bezel that you have is far better than a CLEAN bezel so I would certainly keep that.

Okk perfect, can you tell me where to get clean spare parts ?? And I'll also have to change the iron ring because it's weird I can't explain it to you later I'll send you some photos so I'll always have to buy it back rollerball thank you very much always for the answers

You can try the original one if it doesn't look damaged. I've gotten multiple uses out of one on occasion.

I am a bit confused now. Got the clean 126710GRNR, so it has the VR3285 or the DD3285? I always though Clean uses the VR movt.

I guess its the same for CV V3 GMT DD3285 - My bezel came off yesterday, it rotates, i can get it back, and i turns ok and clicks as it should. but i can lift it up if i wiggle it.

When i look at the "gasket" - it looks like fishing line between the bezel metal ring and the ceramic coloured from underneath. I would guess this is the one i have to replace, the bigger question for me is, how the heck do i get that thing out? tried with tweezers but i cant get hold of it, it looks like it's a bit damaged it looks. So the "fishing" line which is there, i would need to replace with whats recommended in this thread then i guess?

Should you be able to push the bezel back with force or do you need a tool?

Thanks a lot for any help given.

 

[MajorJackpot]

You can cut off and remove the deformed part of the hytrel ring and see if that works.

 

[derjenigewelcher]

Tweezers should work. Then renew with fishing line

 

[SwedishAviator]

Thanks, will try, you say hytrel ring, is that the plastic/rubber ring / gasget you all are referring to? Is that what holds the bezel in place? Just pushing outwards towards the metal ring with no groove?

CLEAN used the VR3186 in its previous releases. Now it uses the DD3285 in 126x models.

Hi, I just wanted some help. I did this whole fix yesterday and when I put it all back together, boom. The watch no longer turned. Then I opened it agian and losened the click spring thinking I made it too tight and put some more silicon grease. But when I put it back together, it turned but very very stiff. Then i checked the hytrel ring and all was good. After taking it on and off a few times trying different things, it always lead back to the same result of it being very tight and rough almost. Now i got to the point where I think i've damaged the hytrel ring from taking on and off so much, but even if i replace that my issue is not fixed I believe. So what else can I try?

Got it. Is there a consensus to which fishing line size is the best for the V3s pepsi? i've seen many different sizes posted about in this thread.
