Preemptive strike mod input request

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 :)

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.
