VSF Subs bezel remove

[iPisi70]

I greet all PAM friends and mods specialy,

does anybody went through a rotating bezel remove on VSF models 985 / 985 / 961 / 1616 and others ...?
I got the 984 model through m2m section and got the piece with common flaws - misaligned crystal, so the inscriptions are rotated a little bit clock wise.
Would it be good idea to remove the bezel, press out the crystal and press it back correctly?
The second thing is, the bezel on this 984 model, as well as on mine 961 piece, rotate too much easy. How to increase the spring preload?

Thanks PAM fellas for your thoughts!

Thanks a lot klockjohan :thanks:!

I hope, those new "PAnerai Models" have the same cap design, so slowly, by many atempts around remove the bezel is the way.

And than, does anybody tried to press out the crystal on submersibles?

Nice. I have some work to do on one model, at least. Nice reference.

Hi Hazing , what is the reason of your work - retaining spring change or crystal aligning or anything else?
