Bezel removal
Hi,I"ve seen lots of tutorials on the removal of submariner bezels.
All use masking tape and sharp knives.I have found that any plastic credit card can be used without the risk of damage to case or bezel.Just thought you"d like to know.I"ve tried this and it works fine on my 16610 regards,Dan |

Hi,you just need to gently lever the bezel up until it comes off.I"m sure someone else has thought of this,but I haven"t seen any instructions. A metal knife seems a bit extreme no matter how careful you are,or it could just be my hands trembling!!

Hi,I reckon it"s better than risking a blade on a £4400 watch! Judodave1964"s plectrum is probably even better because of it"s thinner edge.Anything that works without damaging your pride and joy has got to be a good thing,right?
Have a great sunday,regards to all Dan |

That part is easy,where I have run into problems is when the click spring falls out,no matter what I can't seem to get it back in.The goods news I went to the RSC here in New York and they put one in my sub and GMT .!for no charge.
