Hey,

I just had my girlfriend pick me up a custom diamond bezel from Liori diamonds in NYC for my SuperAvenger.

I was wondering if anyone could give me a detialed description of the bezel install or if anyone has any suggestions on where i could go to get this installed. I want my bezel on so bad!!

Thanks

Make sure you have the correct size/type of screwdriver. The screws are easily damaged so be careful and take your time. They do NOT have to be removed all the way. Doing so will just make it a pain in the ass to get them back in.

You just unscrew the screws and then slightly turn the bezel to lift it off. There is a spring wire in a groove inside the bezel and also a small metal ring on the case that allows the ratchet of the bezel to work. You should be able to figure it out. ;)

Oh and most importantly of all make sure you post some pictures!!! Welcome aboard btw :D

WHOA! Full BLING!
I am REALLY looking forward to see that one on the SA!

I always thought that the channel bezels took away the "soul" (read "the sleevecatchers") of the SA, but I am getting more and more used to the look. This forum affects you in strange ways... there is another SA with a similar bezel in the gallery (sorry, cant remember who owns it) which I really have been starting to look at on a regular basis.

Liori here I come! (well, soon maybe...) ;)

Yep that's the full on bling version from Liori, way better than the pressed on one from the bling king. :roll:

Can't wait to see the pictures as well ;)

I think you lose too much of the original look with a bezel of that type. But, that's just me, and you're the one who'll wear it... ;) However, as said - very BLING! Hope to see pics soon!
