The Bad:
After a tragic accident between a flying Astronaut bezel and a terrestrial tyre, whereby the bezel adroitly placed itself under the tyre and I was left with an salvageable mess.

The Ugly:


The Good:
Found a replacement bezel but needs assembly.



When complete front and reverse of bezel should look like this:

Appreciate any help to solve this little puzzle.

Thanks in advance.

B and C go on the inside and form a bezel sandwich. I took mine apart to clean it once and I am trying to remember the exact order it goes together. I want to say it goes A, C, B, and then D.

In the event that someone may also need to do this in the future -

B (the wavy ring) is firstly placed into D (the bezel ring) and then then A (wavy washer hold down ring) followed by C (the lock ring). The tricky part is to get the lock ring firmly under the small bezel lip of D.

I have the order of assembly but the problem is that the final lock ring to hold down the wavy washer ring just wont seat and hold. I think though I have the order, there are some subtleties I have observed in the machining of the parts which suggest a particular way to position the parts. I have tried the combinations but still no luck.

Appreciate any thoughts you may have



So, the wavy washer is placed into the underside of the 24 hour GMT bezel




followed by the wavy washer lock down ring







and on top of that hold down ring the lock ring itself.



The lock down ring has a small sleeve/lip which I believe fits under the lip in the bezel.



In regards to what part of the wavy washer hold down ring faces up or down, that is, sits over the crystal to friction fit it in place I am not sure.
