I'm not trusting anything recorded by someone that uses vertical video.

Don't do it. It's very tight, you will crack the bezel trying to put it back on. Also, there is a plastic type ring that is 1 time use only.

I normally do most of the work on my watches and advocate others to take on easy tasks, but would only recommend this if you have experience working with watches, removing bezels, replacing crystals, and handling the ceramic materials to get a sense of how easy/hard it is to break them etc. He's right, it's easy to crack the ceramic and you just tossed $800....and yes, the delrin ring that holds the bezel on needs to be replaced. |

I would not mess with a ceramic bezel at all. Put that evil on Rolex to repair or change. Way too expensive to replace.
