Always load the bezel in first without the bezel insert. That way you can align the 12:00 triangle on the insert so it lines up perfectly when you turn the bezel right and lock it in place. You have many triangles off center due to an improper install like he did in this video. Everything else he did was fine minus this critical step.

WARNING: my 2018 sub has four spring button locations: 1, 4, 7, 10 o'clock locations. if you pry at 7 o'clock as recommended in this video, you WILL damage one of the spring buttons. best to pry at 5 o'clock. just found out this method doesn't work with a ceramic bezel. it's different with the aluminum as shown above. I can't get my bezel back on.

My insert fell off one night I left it on while sleeping and the watch just came back from Rolex servicing. Messaged them and they said that I must carry it to a watch smith to have it put back on. I live in the caribbean and it went to service in florida. My question , can I put it back on without removing the bezel?

how do you make sure the triangle is perfectly aligned with the triangle hour marker
@MrChrissy1r6 жыл бұрын
The thing is this,,, I have a genuine 1982 GMT Master with a Pepsi bezel,, nicely worn and totally genuine,, bought in 82 for around £800, GBP ,, now worth in excess of £6000 GBP ,, if I change the bezel,, value drops to around £1000, GBP,, So don't mess around with your Roly, if it's genuine!!
@jaskey6 жыл бұрын
I think the idea here is that he is saving the genuine bezel insert from damage by putting a cheaper beater bezel insert instead. He can pop the original bezel back and since it's all original parts the value stays. Imagine wearing your GMT master and you get the bezel insert dented or punctured during your wear. Since the worn aspect is part of the charm for the watch you have no choice, but to be careful. For people with newer subs without worn bezel the switch doesn't really change the appearance of the watch. (though I suppose you wouldn't get the lovely worn look years down the line)
@Toby_the_Glen5 жыл бұрын
I bought mine in 1987 for just under £900 and it has hardly been off my wrist since. The bezel is looking a bit worn now and replacing it would give the watch quite a cosmetic lift, but as you say, it slaughter's the value. I might consider swapping the bezel and just keeping the original though.

Sir...I'd like to thank you VERY much for this superb video. I knocked the bezel off my Rolex Submariner by banging it against my refrigerator door (OK...don't ask). I snapped the bezel back on...but didn't have the one-way ratcheting feature. I watched your video and discovered I was missing the tiny wire spring. Miracle of miracles...I actually found the spring inside my refrigerator where I banged the bezel off. That is one TINY spring...but I managed to get it back in the hole...and snapped the bezel back on as you described. BINGO...my watch now works perfectly...many thinks to you! Cheers!

I work in psychiatry and I feel many Rolex owners have psychological issues regarding the "genuiness" of their Rolex. What's with having fun and creativity. Most freak out when they've found I put something aftermarket on my Rolex. Come on! On my 16710 (originally with a pepsi bezel), I have a few aftermarket bezel inserts that I frequently swap in and out while my genuine insert is protected in the box. I usually wear my pepsi and coke inserts during the spring/summer and use the black insert during the winters. Over the years, I've replaced at least a couple of different sets of scratched up coke and pepsi inserts. Thanks to the perfect condition of the original pepsi insert, I recently popped it back in and sold the watch for a big profit. TBH, on the 16710, unless I remove and compare the brand new inserts side by side, I couldn't easily tell the difference which is gen and which is aftermarket. Imagine both inserts having a little wear, it is just visually impossible to distinguish when sitting inside the bezel! Enjoy your watch! 😀

After 20 years of owning from new, my bezel, insert, spring and spring washer disappeared. I wear my Sea Dweller 24/7, diving, motorcycling, workshop, office, bed... so no idea where the bits went or why/how. So, can you suggest how I lost them, but more importantly where to get replacements? (I have a theory that mechanics hand cleanser which contains abrasive beads, worked its way between the bezel and case so that it "un-clicked". What do you think?
