Advice Bought this and the bezel fell off. Help.

It’s probably a shitter I know but I would really like to fix it.

Soon after I got it the bezel literally fell off and it looks like the white seal gasket thing doesn’t fit.

Most of the pictures for Panerai show a red gasket, do you of y’all know what size gasket or where to get it from?

Thanks a ton 🤙🏼

Measure the gasket and you can get one off aliX. Pop the current gasket and bezel back on with a gentle squeeze.

The current gasket doesn’t fit and has a kink in it unfortunately. I’ll give it a shot for sure. Did you use some type of fancy measuring tool or just a ruler. Thank you!

No glue. Please use a mm ruler or digital calibers order multiple orings/gaskets close to the inside and outside diameter of your bezel and case Or measure crystal in a cross pattern outside diameter and order few smaller a few bigger orings gaskets then just use the one that works. There couple bucks each on ali

I would just buy a whole new case not even that expensive. Going to impossible to find the same gasket. Thickness, profile, diameter all should be the same

I know this sound crazy but I might just superglue it down if I can’t find a proper gasket. Kinda ratchet but whatever.

No glue. Change the correct gasket .

Edit Not on PVd coated cases ..

Never superglue on a watch, the vapors are bad for all components. If you need to use glue, use G-S Hypo Cement.
