GhostfaceZX Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 I used Loctite super glue on my Omega, but I think any kind of liquid krazy glue/super glue will work...you don't want something too thick.
crystalcranium Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Don't use Gorilla glue or any other foaming polyurethane glue. You'll have quite a mess on your hands. I har used 4-5 drops of gel superglue.iv been useing a clear water proof silicone glue & sometimes it works good & sometimes it just does not hold the darn bezel insert in place ,,... what would be the proper strongest water proof glue to install properly the bezel inserts on rolex & omegas's.. thanx take care & be well every one .. has any one tried out Gorilla Glue ?
Jetsons Posted May 18, 2006 Report Posted May 18, 2006 Sub, I use G-S Hypo cement and it has worked very well. The applicator makes it a breeze to apply. Not sure if it can withstand diving but my inserts have never come loose with it. http://gssupplies.com/cement_hypo.html Also available at the Bay. Jet
Watchwatcher Posted May 18, 2006 Report Posted May 18, 2006 after using many types of glue... superglue, contact glue, etc.,etc. i've found that the absolute best is clear 5 minute epoxy... available at the local hardware store for a few dollars. comes with 2tubes together and one plunger that pushes out equal amounts from both tubes. push out a few drops of each, mix, and then you have 5 minutes to do the installation before it hardens. unlike superglue it has a slight amount of flex to it, so the insert can take some impact without breaking the glue bond.
2005SUBMARINER Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Posted May 18, 2006 THANX every 1 for your help of to the hardware store i goooooooooooooooooooo
