Gluing a bezel pearl to insert
Hi all, I just got a replacement pearl for one of my 5513 sub inserts. What's the best way to install it? Any recommendations on a method and glue would be appreciated! Thanks!

Then I gently but firmly pressed down with a flat piece of plastic. The was a nice "click" as it seated itself. I removed the protective piece of tape and done. No glue needed or desired. Good luck.

Awesome info and that red Sub is but I have gorilla fingers, I could easily see me pushing and....crack!
I'd let a pro do it unless absolutely no watchmaker was in my continent. Good luck. |
