For proper aligment of the markers the insert should be put in with the bezel already mounted.

If you align it properly it's not a seiko any more.

Wow you pop the bezel so easy. I used the same tool but could not get the bezel out then I used a Swiss knife which was a bad move because I made a deep scratch on it regretly.

If you are ocd with the pip lining up perfectly do not do it this way. Put the bezel on first and then line up the insert to 12 o clock

Also for the OCD folks like myself, take $3 and 10 seconds to add some contact cement to the outer edge of the bezel. If you don't glue the new bezel insert down and you go swimming with the watch often, the bezel insert WILL fall off eventually. Instead of worrying about your bezel every time you're in the water just take a few seconds to glue it properly. Watch on, I'm not trying to undermine your video bc I appreciate it and respect what has worked for you. Just adding a tip from experience. Cheers guys.

Hi there! Cool and simple tutorial:) Just wondering; is that a stock hardlex crystal or domed? I was thinking about changing the insert but was told that it would create a gap between the crystal and the bezel; unless you replace the stock crystal with a domed crystal. Appreciate your help, cheers:)

Be careful if you’re working on a 7002 (predecessor to the skx). There’s a very small ball bearing just below the bezel that you can easily lose

How tough it is? How to buy a watch with ceramic parts? Let's say you walk and swing your hands and by mistake you hit a corner and chip the ceramic. I will be pist off. What watch is that? To wear, or to look at it? 🤔

@TimeAndCrown 6 жыл бұрын

I think they are. You can compare them to Hamilton and Longines which are also owned by the Swatch Group. They come with ETA movements which in theory then means that they come with inhouse movements. Compared til Oris and TAG Heuer they are much more affordable and not far from the same quality - at least in TAG Heuer's case. Best regards, Anders.

Scratched the case of my watch with that tool, I now use copper Tool I made from copper pipe. I just hammered one end flat and sharpened with fine sandpaper. Won't ever scratch stainless steel because it's a softer metal. Stainless steel on stainless steel, your just flirting with danger.

@Duomatic84 4 жыл бұрын

"Just randomly put it in" Eeh.. How about NO! Of corse you put the bezel on first and then be very careful to align it perfectly my slight OCD would drive me nuts having it a tiny amount off center all the time.. Also a tiny effort to put some electrical tape on the case when you are prying off the bezel would mitigate the risk of scratching the case. Just a thought after removing the bezel how about using a bag of hot water to loosen the adhesive holding the insert? Is it heat sensitive? If so that would probably help with removing without bending it.

Jo han er, det meget tydeligt at høre. Mht. Videoen så sæt lidt tape på kassen så der ikke kommer mærker og sæt først insertet på til sidst for at du kan få det helt lige sat i. Jeg ville nok også lægge ny lim eller tape i. 😊
