So this is how I fixed the bezel insert for my SMP Chrono

I just received my SMP chrono and it is a great watch. The only thing that was way off is the bezel insert.

So reading through the several forums it was suggested that the bezel on this watch is very tide and wont come off. One post suggested to use a hairdryer to heat up the contact cement under the bezel and then just slide the insert to the right position.

I didn't think that using a hairdryer to heat up the bezel would be a good idea. Some of the plastic parts might not agree with the heat also it might built up tension on the crystal and crack.

I set the watch for five minutes in the sun by the window and that did the trick. Just hold the watch with both hands and moved the bezel insert to the right position by working it with your thumbs. All in all that took 5 minutes.

hope this helps,
