How Do I Smooth The Bezel On My New 5512 Military Sub?

[rower]

I just got a military sub off the forums. I noticed that the bezel is so sharp it is ripping up my cuffs. How would I go about making this less sharp?

THank you in advance for any suggestions.

Post a photo of it. A little more info would be nice.

Is it sharp on the edge of the bezel,on the top surface where the crystal pokes thru.

A suggestion would be to look in the repair section on how to remove it from the body, then remove the insert, and file and polish.

OR

Look for a new one, and hope that it fits.

Cheers,

First, remove the bezel from the case, then remove the insert from the bezel. Then I would sand the outside edge of the bezel down- maybe 600 and 1000 grit wet/dry sand paper, followed by some polishing. Consider it instant aging. My gen 1680 is very smooth, as is my WM 1680. My 5513 sub with the Explorer dial has the same sharp bezel. I've sanded it some, but not enough, yet.
