Changing Bezel

What are the steps involved in changing a bezel on a GMT II?

Should this be done by an AD or can I change it without damaging the watch?

Thanks

matt,

Wow, 4 questions in two simple sentences.
1. What are the steps involved:
.Insert blade underneath
.Pop it off
.Poke it out (insert)
.Press in a new one (insert)
.Snap it back on

2. Should this be done by an AD:
. Maybe, depends on your skills
. Any watchmaker can change it

3. Can I change it:
.Probably

4. Can I change it without damaging the watch.
. Maybe, depends on your skills

Try the "search" function on this forum - pages of info on both bezel and insert changes. There is a great tutorial by jocke somewhere also.

But if you donīt feel safe, take it to a watchmaker.

Good luck.
