As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Bezel WILL NOT come off

This is the place to learn all about watches and how they tick. Share your knowledge and how-tos with the rest of the class.

Bezel WILL NOT come off

Post by CigarCity »

Bought an Invicta 9404 a few years back to try my hand at a mod and I finally got around to give it a try

Got the movement out but the bezel WON’T come off. Watched the vids and tried to pry it off, but just can’t get the tool wedged in far enough (at all) to pry it off. Gave up after marking up the lug and case. Used the rotary tool to carefully grind off the tramp stamp and still need to sand it down and polish it. Still pissed that a couldn’t pop the bezel off. I don’t have an exacto knife but I’ll try that next. It would be a lot easier to sand & polish the case without the bezel on.

Any tricks that I’m missing?

This thing will be hideous when I’m done. Can’t wait. LOL
