Thanks for the tips. I did use the less civilized help of the wood chisel on a Victorinox Swisschamp, but i eventually won over it. My problem wasn't replacement, but actually a super stiff action on the original bezel. I lubed the inwards and underside with a little pure silicon oil and it quickly did the trick and the bezel is smoother now. I'll see how it'll be in a few days.

Hi , Thanks for the video helped me improvise using the plumbing Teflon tape which easily sweeps inside the gaps of the bezel and wrapping is trough right around to protect the surface and forming layers and then using a flat screw driver just pops out with ease on my Kamasu.

I like it, never knew there were bezel options for the kamasu. One thing I never cared for was the scalloped bezel.

Yeah once you get an aftermarket bracelet and change the bezel it's a whole different watch!

That makes the world of difference. You should do it in different places to ease it off. This helps not to scratch the watch.

Looks sweet! Tempted now to do this for mine! Only think I would kinda miss is the lume pip..

I think they have options with lume pips too

My kamasu bezel is so stiff. Warm water and soap loosened it bit, but still extremely stiff.

I'm not of the idea that it makes it more premium, just that the change gives it a more "sporty" look similar to other divers. I think it's a great way to give a regenerating touch to the watch if the insert gets scratched after years of use though. Thanks for the demonstration on how to change the bezel

Yep the new bezel is less stiff, I'd recommend you go with the coin edge bezel because the sub bezel doesnt have as much grip

I love the lume. My only real gripe with the Kamasu is the bezel grip, so I'd have chosen the coin edge. My Kamasi (3) are all on Strapcode bracelets. Good video.

Naturally it nipped you putting a dink on it, but it's a story, a memory and a reminder for future mods....that a side it does look much better with the new bezel and insert....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

How much did the bezel, bezel insert costs?

@NorthernWatchClub

5 ай бұрын

Around 80 USD if I remember correctly, check out Long Island Watch's website!

I agree, the sapphire bezel gives a premium aesthetic. How much was this mod job? What's the difference between using glue to using double sided tape on the insert?

@NorthernWatchClub

Жыл бұрын

Total came down to 100 USD, I decided to use the double sided tape because with glue if I accidently apply too much it'll come out of the bezel and be messy.
