Watch repair
Bezel and insert replacement.
Rotating bezels and their inserts take knocks and fade in the sun. A bezel that's bent, won't turn, or has a cracked insert can be repaired or replaced.
When you might need it.
- The bezel insert is cracked, chipped, or faded
- The bezel won't turn, turns too freely, or has come off
- The bezel is dented or bent
What’s involved.
Diagnosis
We check the bezel, insert, and the spring or click that makes it turn.
Replacement
The insert, spring, or whole bezel is replaced with a part that fits your watch.
Checking the fit
The bezel is checked for alignment and action.
Preliminary pricing.
Your preliminary price range is free and comes from your photos. The final price is confirmed after we inspect the piece in hand, and no work starts until you approve it.
What affects the price
- Insert only or full bezel
- The watch model

Can a faded insert be kept?
Yes. Some owners prefer a faded original insert. Tell us and we'll leave it.
