fram Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Hi guys, Got myself a UPO and I love it, I stripped the watch down to epoxy the hv valve and sort out the pearl. Well the ETA whent back in smoothly but the bezel is doing my head in!! I have been trying for about 6hrs now to refit it, I have made about 10 retaining springs out of guitar wire to replace the original one that looked mishapen after about the 40th attempt at fitting. there does seem to be a bit of damage around the lip where the retaining spring sits both on the case and the bezel which I have filed and sanded smooth only for it to appear again, but maybe thats just me getting desperate to fit it and using too much force. I am about to gab the epoxy and bloody glue it on in a minute!!!! Anyone with any ideas? some one must have had a similar problem and solved it? I have been trying the search function for about an hour now and cannot find anything useful, other than "using slight pressure the bezel will simply click back onto the case".....no it bl**dy wont!! All help appreciated before I ruin a good watch and epoxy the bezel on, just so I can wear it!! Thanks Fram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
