| Post subject: | Removing aftermarket diamond bezel |
Hello folks, I have a Breitling for Bentley motors. It has an aftermarket diamond bezel. There are 4 little screws (top, bottom, left and right). I wanted to remove the bezel so can clean it, specifically the diamonds in my cleaning solution. Is it as easy as removing the 4 screws cleaning it and then mounting it and reinstalling the 4 screws? Is it difficult to re-attach the bezel, or is there any fitting I would have to do? Or would it be fine. I don't want to attempt this myself if it is going to make my life miserable, lol. Anyone know what the size flathead it would use? Thanks for help, |

The Bentleys can be a bit fiddlier because of the gearing, but yes, loosen the screws (don't remove them entirely) and the bezel will come off. I believe that a Bergeon 160 (1.6mm) fits these. |

Yes it is simply a case of undoing those screws and the bezel will pop off. Two words of caution though - Firstly, don't undo the screws all the way out as they are a pain to get back in. And secondly, the Bentley models have a gearing system under the bezel, so you need to be a little careful when reseating it. I'd also go careful when removing it to make sure nothing from the gearing drops out. My disclaimer is that I've never personally removed a Bentley bezel, but I've removed a few of the Aeromarine bezels in the past and apart from the gearing, they are pretty similar. That said, I have heard of some people that prefer to get an AD to do that kind of thing, but I also know of some who are happy to do it themselves. In terms of the screwdriver size, I'm not sure. I have a set of Bergeons and just used whatever one fitted whenever I've taken a bezel off, and not paid attention to the specific size. EDIT - I'd alraedy typed this but Roff beat to the posting! |
