·Thank you, Tom! Didn't know that. I thought the bezel was an integrated part of the glass with the letters printed on the backside - and that you had to change it all? Will definitely contact STS.

·No the bezel is the separate to the glass, the foil is also separate to the crystal and usually marks that appear on the crystal is simply dirt between that and the foil

·Sounds great. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise here. I will get in touch with STS and have them quote a price for a change of the bezel insert. Do you by chance know what I should expect to pay?
