Logan Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Its easy to replace, but you'll need the special screwdriver to fit the "H" shaped heads on the screws. Most dealers stock these. Also you need to use some low strength thread lock on the screws, and don't over tighten them. they are low quality and will strip or break easily.

kevnick80 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 What's low strength thread lock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 What's low strength thread lock? like "loc-tite". you should put a light coat of silicone or threadlock liquid on the screw threads so they don't fall out or come loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevnick80 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Ok cool, I follow!! I think that's easier to do that send the watch back to china and hope for the best! And that way I can get a different bezel. I assume it's quite easy to dismantle andchange over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Driver here- http://watchbitz.com.au/shop/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=238 O/S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I bought one of these drivers from offshore, plus threadlock. Works fine.....recommended, and a far better price than the silly ones some dealers ask for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 When you're buying loc-tite or any thread lock remember there are many different grades, ranging from "never come undone" down to "just strong enough".. I strongly suggest using the lower grades, the non-removable ones are fine if you're totally sure you won't ever undo the screws.. but if you ever try you will break the screws. The hublot ones especially are really crap metal and break very easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevnick80 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 ok cool.

Offshore is the member's name and he's a stand up guy. I'm working with him on a group project right now. He's got the best tools around and pretty good prices.
