Question for you all...

I have a 1680 case and i cant seperate the bezel from the retention ring. When i try to remove the bezel, the retention ring come off too. I dont want to bend it... any ideas? I need to adjust the spring and I cant get it apart

Any ideas are appreciated.

If you have them both off then remove the insert and you should be able to pop them apart with your thumbs...

Or get a knife in there and separate them. If the tolerances are too tight, you may have do to some sanding afterwards.

The snap fit is a very tough thing to gauge- but you don't want to over sand it.

yeah its a tight little girl :whistling:

I just used my crystal press dies and my vice to "press" them apart. I didnt think of that at first, but that worked well. I wish my MBW1680 bezel was on this tight. I'm always worried I'm going to lose it because I've taken it off and on so many times while swapping inserts.

At least I'll never lose the bezel while I'm wearing it! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

No chance of bumping it and wondering where your bezel went!
