·Edit: This is an aftermarket part, and I’m not sponsored by the supplier. Just sharing the love.
Was a bit tricky to get off original bezel. Orientated watch dial down, then used a solid piece of plastic with a 5mm wide edge, and used light taps from a hammer to ease it off.
Also took a while to get the alignment just right. Tip: carefully position the new bezel, put some cling wrap over the top to prevent it from shifting, take a photo and mark up the photo with a straight line to check alignment.
Make sure the original gasket is removed first (it’s white). The new bezel wasn’t going on until I realised the original gasket was still there after taking off the original bezel.
Got the ceramic bezel from Spiralwinder. Comes preinstalled with a gasket.
Love the premium look of the black ceramic, the lumed Tachy scale markers are more legible and pop more in white, and the biggest benefit is not having to worry about the black chipping off or fading over time, which is what happened to the bezel on my previous 1861 speedy.
