rexon Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I got the watch in this state from Silix. As you can see from the picture (I hope bezel is slightly off to the right. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 The bezel insert is glued to the bezel, so I think it should be possible to try to remove it by gently use a very thin and sharp knife. Thereafter glue it back on. On the Carrera of a friend, the bezel actually popped right off, so I guess it should be possible to remove it without damage. Be careful though!

azerbyjam Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Did you just buy this watch?? It may just be the quality of your photography but that looks a little beat up to me, if its new I would send it back for replacement.

I assume it fell off together with the glass? Should I take movement out before trying to take off bezel insert?

Quality is ok, except the problem with the bezel (and the fact I had to open it to remove the hair from the back glass). It would be too complicated to send it back. I had to wait for over a month to get it. Speed is not the priority when it comes to Silix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bezel just fell off itself (without the glass) when he tapped it. It should not be necessary to remove the glass. I had a look at my own Carrera, and it seems to be tight. Guess the best way to attack it should be by the outer edge. The movement is not affected by this operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
