Thanks mate! Heating the bezel does work, but indeed does take a lot of time and effort to get the final result. Removing the crystal makes it a lot easier. You can then get from the inside of the case to the bezel inside. With a sharp knife you can then cut the tape that holds the bezel loose. 

 

I did not have a crystal press and although they don't cost much, I couldn't wait any longer to get that bezel mod done. 

 

The coating should resist water and UV (not yellowing) and it is pretty cratch resistant as I read some reviews on the net. We shall see how it holds...

Hi DMS,

I have orderd a rep CrPO, It´s my first replica. I have also bought matt clear cote from the local paint shop.

Now over to the problem:

1. I´m not a modder and aren´t confident enough to dissassemble the Eta movement from the watch in order heat uo the watch.

2. There are no good DIY of how to dissassemble the Eta movement from the watch.

3. Is it possible to remove the bezel assembly from the watch with applying a sharp knife between the case and the bezel assembly and then "wiggle" the bezel off? Then mask everything except the bezel insert and spray on the clear coat.

:-)

I am determend to clear coat the bezel insert. It is not acceptable with fading paint on expensive rep.

EDIT:

I found a DIY bezel assembly removal. Is this possible on the CrPO?
