sub16610 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi everybody, a question for the experts... I have two version of GMTIIC both ICHS the first (which is sandwich ceramic bezel ) has the popular crystal gasket problem (more pressed at 12 than at 6 o'clock) and for that it's no water resistant. The second has the new full ceramic bezel with aligned crystal (whith painted, or filled of some kind of sticky material, the engraved numbers) and a thick bezel which cover by side more crystal thickness. I guess how can i swap the two bezel because the 1st one is a little less thick than the 2nd, (2.8mm the 1st, 3,2mm the 2nd) i removed the bezel and i saw this three point which moves to external side when i rotate the bezel to next click (both are 24 clicks). I tried to remove the bezel but i can't do it. I would like to do that to let the crystal on 2nd one be more visible by side. Can someone help me, please ?

iceberg1459 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 its very hard to remove the bezel without bending..... you need to drive the knife or screwdriver all around under bezel slowly untill it weakens and finally pops out...dont try force from one point be careful and patient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 A razor blade or gyp-knife blade works. And as Iceberg says, go slowly and keep working your way around and around... Maybe as you remove the blade you could put a little wedge of some sort in the gap you've just created before going to the next spot. That way it won't go back down as you lift up in another area. You'll need a crystal press to get it back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
