Installing Bezel Insert For Mbw 16610

[leitztozeiss]

Over the weekend, I installed a replacement bezel insert on my mbw 16610. I had to remove a bit of material along the outer diameter of the insert so that it would seat in the bezel ring. But, I found that the insert itself sat high, wherein the top surface was not flush with that of the bezel ring. So, I removed (a lot) of material from the back surface of the insert. It was a little better, but still not quite flush.

I noticed that there is a raised lip defined along an inner diameter of the bezel ring - should I try to shave this down to get better flush fit betweent the insert and the ring? I think this would help the flushness issue, but also another issue of the crystal not extending far enough above the top surface of the insert.

Thoughts and insight are much appreciated. Thanks.

make the back of the insert the same angle. just continue the angle from the inside of the insert to the outside of the insert.
