And I'll give you three guesses as to which one will hold their looks longer...
EDIT: On second thought, I take that back--Jacob watches are just terrible looking.
Jesus H Christ.... that piece would even make the Russian nouveau riche cringe with embarrassment.
Billy Connolly used to have a watch not too dissimilar to this. But then again, he is Scottish.
Small screwdriver, perhaps. Be careful--cerachrom is great against dents & scratches (strong tensile strength), but any torsional twisting and these pieces will immediately snap and break; they do not bend.
Shoot it in natural light--best way to tell.
Yes, the bezel-insert is real cerachrom. Contrary to the oversimplified naming-convention, the chemical make-up and structural integrity are nothing like typical "ceramic".
Anyone else getting this error message? Advanced search function hasn't been working properly since the revamp of the board:
Is this something that's being corrected?
If you're looking to save the old bezel insert, I found the easiest way was to remove the movement, push the crystal out from the inside, then stick an X-acto blade under the insert & gently pry it off.
If yo don't care about sparing the old insert, just pop the pearl off and pry it off with the tip of an X-acto.
I strongly second the ET V5 motion; the only thing this piece needs (aside from a 90 second bezel-paint mod) is a lume-job. It's damn near 100% after that.
