    Recommendations for bezel change

    I have a Seiko SBDC053 and wish to change the Seiko bezel insert for a ceramic one sourced from Yobokies. It's only a small job but one I wouldn't do myself as I don't have a bezel press.

    Can anyone recommend someone? I am based in Bristol. Watchworks no longer undertake small jobs. Premier in Yate could do it but I have no experience of them.

    Thanks in anticipation

    The last time 'pressed' my Seiko bezel back on I put a towel round it and gave it good hard press with the heel of my hand and it popped right back on

    And done.

    Bezel popped off by hand - note to self about how easy it might be capable of being knocked off by accident.

    Managed to remove old insert without damaging it or losing the lume pip.

    Cleaned the bezel up. Popped it back on and got the insert in and properly aligned.

    Only tool used - the small blade of a Swiss Army Knife to take the old insert out.

    Easier than I thought and took less than 30 minutes.

    I realise that will all sound pathetic to some but I'm quite chuffed. Might think of modding my Turtle with a different insert.
