How to: Remove and reinstall an Invicta 8926 bezel

Post by Dub Rubb »

While Seiko and Vostok bezels can be removed easily with a little pry from a case knife, the 8926 is an entirely different animal. Thankfully a great guy over on WUS (and maker of aftermarket bezels) put together a few videos on the process. I just did my 4th invicta mod today, and still had to reference it lol. 30 minutes of fumbling around solved in 2 minutes.

Also, I have found that if you plan on reusing the stock insert, it is easiest to pop the crystal out first and access the insert from the inside. But That's just me.

*I have no affiliation with Dave Murphy or Murphy Manufacturing. I have just found him to be very helpful both via email and his videos. And he is just a pretty cool dude with some sweet mods.

I don’t mean to hijack the thread but do you have a recommendation for a case knife I can use for SRPC/Turtle?
