Installing bezel on type 3 sub

[lukenorris2011]

Hello all, I have nearly all but finished my tc sub build. Will post pics when finished.

Will the bezel assembly just pop on with a press or do I have to take the assembly apart and do it in the two parts?

Thankyou guys!

You can just pop on it. But it needs a lot of force. And be sure that there is no force on the pearl part, because that part can break.

Right got the bezel on, but for the life of me it's not sitting flat slightly on one side, thus the bezel won't turn! :s

The bezel not rotating indicates that the bezel assembly has not been pressed down correctly, and is not even all the way around.

To be honest I think the whole put together of this tc sub was a poor job by the "watchmaker" who assembled it.

If anybody can recommend a uk/eu based GOOD watchmaker id rather pay for the watch to get stripped down/reassembled

Thanks again,

Luke

Will let you know when I inspect the watch if anything is bent.
