Diamond bezel on GMT
I recently bought a 2014 GMT at auction. The watch appeared to be in decent condition but it was fitted with a wannabe gangster diamond and sapphire bezel. In the box was the original bezel. I assumed that switching back would be child's play. After removing the after market bezel there appears to be some kind of retaining ring around the crystal that has a load of holes in that is stuck. Has anybody else had experience with this issue and can they offer some tips? Regards, Simon

What’s the reference for the gmt? It doesn’t sound like any bezel or bezel insert mechanism I’m familiar with — but it’s clearly had an aftermarket affair bolted on, so it could be some part of that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
