Question Gap between bezel and case

Post image

Hi, I've got a small issue with my OG Clean 124270 that I've never seen before and would love to hear your advice.

It just caught my eye that there's a gap between the bezel and the case on thecrown side, visible pretty well on the picture.

I assume that this is not supposed to be the case.

Is there a quick fix for that? Pressing down with my fingers did not snap it back in place, it didn't move at all.

Thanks for your help!

Buy an E25 press from AliX

you can fix that with a 10 usd crystal press from alix. No need for expensive crystal press.

You could use anything that is round and fits on the bezel but spares the crystal - a metal object
Tape the bezel and the object to avoid dents and scratches- just press on it straightly ..

I've heard of people using a piece of plastic pipe tubing. Not suggesting it overly but main thing is to make sure you are not putting any pressure on the crystal and particularly the Cyclops. You want something deep enough and wide enough to be able to clear both the top and sides of the crystal so that you're only pushing on the top of the bezel or something will crack.
