    Hello!

    is this a safe way to change Bezel on a Speedmaster? Anyone who have tried? Other ways to do it?

    How is the "glas" connected to the watch, is it a chance that when I remove the Bezel is will remove the glas? and maybe hurt the hands? is it ok to do this with the movement inside the watch?



    Thank you!

    /Magnus

    Great video, thanks for posting.
    I can't help you answer your questions, but I'm sure the veterans here will chime in shortly.

    It’s very simple the bezel just clips to the watch case
    It does not affect the glass or the hands it’s a snapfit and will pop right off

    Certainly is the safest method if you are losing your shirt at blackjack and need to toss the bezel in on a double down bet :D

    Good plan provided it’s a DON

    Haha, borrow one of those chip rakes as a hammer. Opportunities all over the place!

    I won't say until you tell us what bezel you're replacing! ;)

    I just did it last night for the first time and can’t believe how easy it is to change.

    i will need to pop of the bezel and trade it at the poker table, and then this is good :)

    I will use a Decimetre bezel maybe

    Well done like I said it’s easy but you need to make sure that the bezel internal diameters are the same early and later issues are not always compatible

    It’s a bit embarrassing, but I used a knife wrapped in cloth to take it off and the plastic cap of a vitamin bottle to snap it back on
