Preemptive strike mod input request

[specialvat]

Having bought a Royal oak jumbo from Paul, I m looking to improve the bezel screw/bezel gap show in this picture from Paul.

Heres a 15002 pic for comparison

First Ideas are remove bezel and fill with solder from underneath or Fill gap with silver metal paint or model paint which is semi dry...

Anyone else like have any ideas

Keeping in mind the bezel is brushed and the bolt head is polished

Thanks for any input

No need to remove the bezel; the screw/bolt holes don't go all the way through:

Removing the bezel doesn't do much good anyways...

The above pics are of my 14790 rep, but construction should be the same...

I had it in my head that it was more Gen like in having thru bolts, I ll have to wait unless Paul can answer.

The ROO has that case construction with the bezel bolted through; but these standard Royal Oaks are built using a press fit bezel.

BTW, I should clarify that the bottom pics with the bezel removed are from my 14790; the top pics are from my old MBW Jumbo.

Hello,

As ubiquitous said, the screw can be removed easily without removing bezel.

Cheers,

I bought a cheap rose gold RO, I ve got an angle grinder and an ill will towards it. Going to make the bezel bolt to the case and thru the back. I need to source some thru bolts that are male and female, found a company in india that will make some to specification but they may only do massive runs. I ve got some titanium coated drill bits to drill the case and bezel, and will probably need some tungsten carbide bits too. In all its fun messing around with this hobby

Made my own strap conversion kit from the rose gold royal oak I bought to mess with.

Before and after dremel:

The case would not co operate with me so it had a chat with the angle grinder:

The angle grinder is my new go to tool, noisey bugger tho !

Need to finish three more but dont want to rush and make a mess of it.

If anyone needs my angle grinding modding skills I ll offer them as a service , lost fingers are chargeable however

I m changing the bezel screws for larger versions so the gap is eliminated. The seconds hand and canon pinion is also being resolved, although this will be done by a professional as I cant fit the angle grinder in the gap

Thanks for the pointers guys.
