Rubber Cement-- Good Idea, and if it gets on the outside of the bezel, it jut rubs right off and should not leave a mark.
Still-- does anyone have advice or experience R&Ring the entire Bezel? Ziggy?
Popping them in and out will probably expand the holes a bit and compress the 'plugs' a bit, possibly making the problem worse or 100% reliant on good adhesive.

I think this also applies to all the recent AeroMarine (Skyland, Fish, etc) series reps.
I was planning on doing something similar, and although these bezels are a PITA to R&R, I still think the best course is to pop the bezel off and access them from back side.
If I get around to doing it, I would try and peen them on the inside, and perhaps a dab of epoxy/JB weld. Loctite has been recommended before, but most Loctite formulas only cure in the absence of air ~ala threads.
Your solution, however, is my backup plan, and a good one.

EB watches caught my eye in the 2009 Buyers guide. Something to be said for their clean almost vintage design. For $500 a Gen, I would go for it.

I can't say I like anything listed there.
Is it me, or are the LUME Dots/Markers on those subs HUGE....

Thank goodness you are overall, ok.
Curious if you were wearing a watch-- and was subject to the "Airbag Pushing Watch up arm and filleting/peeling back skin on your forarm"
Get well, I was beginning to miss your Avatar. ;-)

The 14060 parts are not interchangeable with a 16610 IIRC. Dial size is different, as is bezel. Case has lugs, etc. IIRC.
HTH,

Nice project. The hands are a bit 'bright' for the dial. I have a similar issues on my 6536 project at the moment. Haven't had time to bake them.
Keep up the good work.

Nice. I enjoy mine as well. Red & Black straps are fantastic on this watch.
The only Breit's with 24mm lugs are the Super Avenger (SA), SOH, and Bentley models IIRC.

Interesting, it does not have the "square" second hand.... I wonder what version this is?
I wonder if those are real screws in the bezel or plugs like in the recent verions.

Fantastic. I came close to buying one last year when I was doing heavy ADV Motorcycle touring. I settled for a SPOT GPS tracker instead.
GREAT WATCH.

Thanks for sharing-- a good read.
Welcome.

24mm width.
If you buy a color strap which is lighter in color than black, the contrast will make the Black Steel (and it superb quality) POP out even more.
Actually, it is 22mm not 24. Only the SOH & Bentley are 24.

Usually, in these situations, the "lite" versions have the following lessor items:
Asian movement
non-saphire or differing crystal
AR could be none or single -vs- in some cases double
But the case is most likely the same, yes. YMMV

Finally got this away from my wife. IT IS MINE for the weekend. 222.

Nice. I have to say I love bracelets for their ease of grab and go. That looks great.
How about a shot of the clasp? The color looks pretty close...

Star Wars (1977)
Kill Bill
Lost in Translation
(I have way too many fav's to pick three, but those came to mind first...Honorable mention: Fifth Element, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs.)
Hmmm, top three per genre might be more fun.

Fantastic pics and watches.
Love the aged hands.

Interesting comments. I guess I am the Kobold defender then. He and his watches are gaining immense popularity, and getting write ups. The 2009 WT Buyers Guide has at least half a dozen.
I am a fan of the very clean, minimalistic, yet functional designs of his. Who knows, this may actually be the time to buy a gen Kobold if his success propels him and his company higher.
-Ronin

Yes, but he makes some nice, high quality watches. I am not defending his past, but he is a 'young' guy. 24 at the time. Hopefully he learned his lesson and will keep his head on straight. Stick to watches instead of impersonating law enforcement.
Hmmmm, not like anyone here has done anything wrong in the eyes of the law or fibbed to customs agents. Sounds like he would fit in here. LOL.

I personally like it better then the PO chrono... However, it reminds me more of a Tag Heuer than an Omega even with the orange highlights.
