How to Replace a Bezel Insert

[debbiesmith1]

Hi all,

I just saw another post about someone losing a Pearl and looking for a replacement.

This reminded me of something.

I bought an UPO from Silix and really loved the watch until the Pearl fell off.

I told Silix and they were kind enough to send me two Bezel inserts (one Orange / One Black).

I want a black bezel. I have them about a year but am paralysed about trying t do something with it.

So my question

a) Does the Bezel remove easily.

Does the whole Bezel and bit its in/on top of (the whole thing that twists - don't know the correct terms) have to come off

c) Do I have to buy a special tool to do this?

d) Is it hard to get off and hard to get back on again

e) Would I be crazy to attempt to do this?

f) How about cutting the Pearl off the new Bezel and supergluing to where its missing at the moment - would that be a non-runner?

Any advice would be welcomed

Kind Regards

Remove the pearl with a razor an try to lift the bezel by gently prying the 'pearl hole' with a tooth pick (to avoid scratches). Heat the bezel in advance with a hair dryer so that the glue will become soft. Glue the new bezel back on.

Good luck.
