·So was it the entire bezel that came off or just the tachy insert? Glad it's back in business.

·It’s a reasonably common method of holding a fixed bezel in place. The advantage is that every time you remove the bezel, you replace the gasket, so that you get a “new” for every time, instead of a gradually loosening fit with the old system.
No idea what happened in the case of the OP, but in my experience when people say there wasn’t any impact, there was often one that they just didn’t register.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerSo does the plastic gasket need to be replaced EVERY time you reinstall the bezel? I ask because I was thinking of realigning my bezel as it is slightly off center. I was wondering if I would need to source a new gasket or if I could just pop off the bezel, realign and pop it back on using the same gasket?
Now will the bezel fall off immediately if you remove it put it back on with the same seal? No, not likely, but to me it's recipe for a missing bezel sometime down the road. Up to you if you want to risk the cost of a new bezel or not...
