Bezel change GMT II

[equinox]

Well I have has the watch 8 days now had the other 2 bezel colours since Thursday (was a pepsi), looked at the 3 bezel change links several times and then talked myself out of it. Threatened the watch a bit ago and bit the bullet, why not lets have a bash!

As per the instructions on said links, put masking tape on the case, used a trusty Victorinox small blade. I figure that the Swiss connection may help me through this difficult stage, a little pressure on the knife blade and pop, the blade slipped off. Wiped the sweat from my brow and had a second go, off came the bezel with a slight pop, as did the large washer and the spring! (Why didnt i use a food bowl to catch the bits in!!) Spring re-located and put back in place, pressed the pepsi bezel out by hand, wiped the sweat away again at this point my arse is tightening with the nervousness of the job, pushed the black bezel in place, re-aligned the bezel to re-fit to the watch, pressed lightly, click, a slightly stiff 1st turn and then nice and free again as the spring aligns its self. Thank god thats over but in general was a top job well done if i do say so myself. But not without thanks for all you guys pointing me in the right direction of the relavent links.

Here is a few photos of it now, no longer pepsi

What do you all think? I like it its not as much in your face this way! But no doubt i'll swap over again now i know how easy it is.
