Now you have corrected it no one will believe it’s a real Seiko.

If the miss alignment is only small (say a fraction of a click) one other option is to pop the bezel off and warm up the glue under the insert using a hair dryer. Once the glue is warm you can use your thumbs to move the insert a little. Then it cools down and resets in its new position. That’s the method I’ve used on two Seiko prospex’. Worked perfectly

Great video. After watching this, I honestly feel like I'd be able to confidently give this a go myself. I love learning how to do these things myself and video's like this are great for that. Thanks.

yes dude! that glue is the key... so you can micro adjust after you put it on. thanks, I have to do a deep blue bezel now. i dont understand why these companies cant do it. they have excuses like, "well, its only a $200 watch... what do you expect?" i freaking expect you to do your damn job after I give you the $200 bucks, thats what i expect. man...

Easiest method is to put the watch face down in a solvent like Grip Solvent which is used on golf clubs, but I'm sure there are others. Put a small amount in a glass or even a plastic cup as it won't dissolve plastic, just enough that the bezel is immersed. It will remove the double sided tape but not degrade gaskets. Leave it for a day and the insert pops right out. No need for tools that can potentially damage the case. Clean off the old tape residue and then replace the bezel as you've shown. I think Marc at Long Island Watch might have made a video on it. Either way it's a far better method than removing the bezel unnecessarily.

Helpful video, very clear to follow. It's such a shame Seiko can't do it right the first time. Genuinely has completely put me off buying any more Seiko's, too many bad experiences with this alignment nonsense.

My srp777 is ok, but it's very helpful to know this good job ⌚

Great video’ helped me have guidance for changing the bezel insert and gasket in my turtle. Thanks!

At last…instructions on how correct the 2:23 lack of quality control (misalignment on a seiko!!!!!) Thanks!!!!:)

Thank you so much! 🤝

Each to their own but i can't understand how such a tiny misalignment would worry anyone! Some OCD there for sure!

I can't understand why Seiko themselves can't QC the alignment consistently if it's this easy to get right first time

Great Video. What tape do you use? Seems to be thicker than the normal transparent tapes for packaging.

Nice work but of course Seiko should have aligned the thing in the first place. My Arnie is bang on, as was my Shogun but my Turtle is a gnat's chuff off. Not enough though for me to follow your example. Seiko really need to check their QC and regulate their mechanicals but seemingly, they're not too bothered.

Can't you use Goo Gone to remove the adhesive residue and then degrease it with the alcohol?

Hi, I am curious about the cement - will it not bind the bezel with the insert permanently? What if I want to service/replace the bezel insert later on?

Is it possible to align the chapter ring?

The watch looks better without the bezel.

a better way is to buy another brand. Use the collective wallet to let seiko know low quality is not acceptable.

How did this end I fell asleep

seiko shoud be embarrassed by videos like this.

LOL, you make things difficult for yourself. Simply poor boiling water over the bezel. This softens the adhesive. Then with some pressure push the insert. I have done it several times, and it works a treat. PS your sound went at 7.00

It was aligned in the first place...i do not see the difference, anyway nice video.

Pro tip, buy a citizen.

This is a great way to destroy your watch.
