Reassembling a gen 114060/116610 bezel assembly

[dbane883]

Has anyone here removed and reassembled a gen sub C bezel assembly?

 

If so, what die (or other) did you use to press the retaining ring over the gasket (some have suggested a IWC movement ring or DJ bezel for the BP/Noobs.. but not sure if those are the right size for a gen sub C)....?  Did you install the gasket first, retaining ring and then press the crystal on (as I've seen in one BP tutorial) or did you put the crystal on the gasket then press the ring with the crystal in place?  

 

Or, does the insert need to be on the bezel first, and then the whole assembly pressed onto the case?

 

I guess what I'm asking is, How is a gen Sub-C bezel reassembled?  Any tips would be appreciated.

 

 

Here is a link to one rep reassembly tutorial:

Also, if you removed the gen insert from the bezel, did you use the same plastic retaining "clip" or did you have to source a new one?

Also, what is the part I've identified in this schematic?     I have a gen 114060 right in front of me, but don't want to start the surgery until I know exactly how to put this f--ker back together.  Any help is appreciated.

That's a gasket that goes in the bezel that keeps it secure to the crystal retaining ring.  It serves the same purpose as the bezel retaining ring on the 16610.
