Recommendation to replace a bezel

Lex Luthor · 19-12-2012 06:03PM #1

I tried in vain today to replace the ceramic bezel inlay that came with my Steinhart OB1. Got some great instructions from the watchuseek forum on how to do it but in the end I gave up as I just didnt feel confident enough to do it with causing some slight damage

So Steinhart have sent me the replacement bezel and have offered €40 to pay for someone to replace it so I am looking for a recommendation of someone to do the work for me...I'm based in Naas but travel to/from Leixlip most days but would be willing to drive up nearer Dublin for somebody trustworthy to do the job for me...

Can anyone suggest?

Thanks,

Tom

Can you pop out the bezel pearl and get something under it like that?

I tried heating it to get some movement in it .... when the head settles down I might give it another go

Brought it to a place yesterday in Celbridge...he didnt fill me with a lot of confidence that it wouldnt come back all scratched

When I did this before I got a knife and pryed off the pearl. Then put a fork in the hole that the pearl was in and leveraged the insert off. Good luck.
