Swapping the Bezel on a Day Date

Recommended Posts

Hi,

looking at a SS DD for my next rep but i'm torn between the standard bezel and the faux diamond encrusted one.

How hard is it to swap the bezels over on these watches? I'm hoping its a lot easier than a sub due to the fact the the bezel doesn't turn.

if its good news I'll order one DD with 2 bezels and swap them every few months for a fresh look!

I've watched my watchmaker do it. He takes a razor blade and inserts it between the bottom of the bezel and the case and taps it with a hammer lightly. Maybe moves the razor around the case and taps a few more times, lifting and separating the bezel from the case.

Putting it back on requires a crystal press- so you get equal pressure all the way around the bezel and it pops back on, so to speak.

Switching every couple of weeks might not be a good idea- could easily result in damage to the case, bezel or crystal.
