Insert problems

[danielv2000]

I just noticed that the insert on my 16610 is not flat on the bezel at 12 o'clock. I removed it, cleaned it and re-glued. It was flush with the bezel - perfect.

I let it dry for 24hrs. I popped the bezel back on the watch and then it "lifted" again ever so slightly. This only happens at 12 o'clock. I assume there is something pushing against the back of the pearl but all is clean.

Ay tips? I bought the watch used and I assume this was the condition it was in when it arrived. I never really checked until I noticed it.

Thanks

Is the insert pushed against the crystal at any point? file the insert flat and try again.

is there glue causing it to lift? is the retaining ring not completely compressed flat?

I removed the pearl and tried without the pearl. It's fine now. So, probably too much of that sticky stuff behind the pearl. I've been sing shoe goo on the insert and behind the pearl - a layer that covers the hole glued to the left and right. What is a good option for the pearl?
