seeing you're review inspired me to set forth on an adventure to realigning my bezel...
so, off I went;
tried a old credit card first, heard about the cc trick here in the forums. However it did not work on this watch.
next out was the ole "toothpick"!!! oh ya! the ones with the mint at one end, it tasted good, but thats about it...
then, finally out came the .60 screw driver...I know... I know, the thought of a screw driver and a bezel just makes a man cringe...but it worked. I worked it in behind the area of the pearl and got it underneath the bezel insert. Then I proceeded to walk it around counter clockwise (I don't know why I chose "counterclockwise", just did) and WALA! the bezel insert came out. I cleaned up both the bezel and insert. reglued it in its proper position, and could not be happier!!!
this chrono is probably the second best rep out of the box, next to the old school 007 smp.
enjoy
