    I usually use thick plastic card to pop off the bezel on my skx033. It leaves no scraches and if one card is not enough you can always stick one mure under the one that is already under the beze, just use it at one of the lugs, so the smooth lug surface will allow you to get under it easily.

  • @wpherigo1
    @wpherigo1 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was wanting to switch out the bezel insert on my Turtle without popping the bezel, but I guess that probably is a low probability exercise. I was also wanting to remove the “oem” bezel insert without damaging it, but that also seems to be an unlikely proposition as well.

It's just small and no matter how nice I make it look, it'll never look good on my wrist. 40mm is my sweet spot. I am obsessed with a Omega right now, and I was very tempted to get a Steinhart, but I am gonna save to get a Moonwatch.

  • @mocha8232

    Like your video. Thanks for showing the sapphire bezel insert. I think there are people like me are looking for more information. It seems the lume is just painted underneath the sapphire and the while paint serves as the protection. For USD60, do you think it worths? How is the quality of the bezel insert and lume? Have you removed the bleeding? Do you have concern that multiple removals of the bezel insert since the bottom is just a layer of white paint?

  • @khronokraze
    @khronokraze 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks good! Hope the lume bleed isn't a common occurrence. Doesn't seem to be.
    Did you try to pull the bezel insert off and fix the lume bleeding? I might be careful about scratching the back side and possibly removing some paint from the underside. Same goes if you plan to use a new adhesive ring and need to remove the old. Hopefully it will not peel off the painted underside of the bezel insert. I can imagine that happening. I used to have one from Yobokies and they pretty much warn you better get it right the first time as it is likely you will irreparably damage the underside of and when you try to remove the bezel insert after it has been installed.

    I was really excited when LCBI came out with this new inserts, but I was very disappointed by the yellowish color of the markers on an insert, especially on the red part. And also I'm afraid this sapphire bezels are more fragile than ceramic:(

      It's just so bright that it comes through the sides of the sapphire. I was bummed at first but now I like this weird quirk :p. If I want to fix it, it wound't be too hard however, I'm worried about cracking the insert should I try and pry it off. With my butterfingers, that's a big possibility :/
