TimeToPretend Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 See how it's slightly raised around the saphire (the top-ish)? Is there any way I can pop it back in?
TimeToPretend Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Posted February 10, 2013 I can't for the life of me push it back down! Is there a workaround for this?
TimeToPretend Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Posted February 10, 2013 That sounds a bit risky. What if I end up making it worse than it already is?
TimeToPretend Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Posted February 10, 2013 Besides, how would I go about popping the whole bezel off anyway?
kbh Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 You think maybe the bottom of the pearl is holding it out? That pearl kind of looks like one off a ceramic insert.
panerai153 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Could you possibly take a couple of cleared photos so that we can really see what's up? Put the watch down on something solid and take the photos with your camera steadied on something so that the shots are clear.Also, don't face the camera toward the light, get the light above and slightly behind the camera, or go outside and take the photos in natural light. That pearl does look like it's off a ceramic insert, need better phoots to tell.
Mike on a bike Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 TTP $37.50 ain't looking so good now is it, not to worry post some good pics someone will know the fix. 2
TimeToPretend Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Posted February 11, 2013 Three of my friends came over today and funnily enough, none of them noticed the messed up bezel. They all thought it was a gen, ahaha. Anyway, I'll get some pics up soon with my 12mp camera. Unfortunately, my sister's using that at the moment so I guess I'll post the pics tomorrow. Thanks guys. I really appreciate the help!
danielv2000 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 I think you have dried up glue lump keeping it up. You will ave to remove insert, scrape the glue off and reapply. Make sure you have something to hold the insert tight while the glue dries overnight.

Rolexman Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 The insert is slightly too big for the bezel. They just forced fitted it in the hope nobody would notice/ care. You need to take the insert out and grind the outher edge a bit all the way around so that the diameter is just a tad smaller.
Mike on a bike Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 Rolexman I certainly hope you are wrong but doubt it , I would not want to be jerking around with that. But then again at that price point great learning subject.
SSTEEL Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 Besides, how would I go about popping the whole bezel off anyway? Check this tut out on removing bezel, and refitting. http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=713 1
