DJ 41 bezel removal

[tommy91]

I know this has been discussed many times on swapping bezels. What actually is the best way to take off the bezel on Dj41? I took it to a guy (grey dealer) who seemed to think best method was still razorblade? Does anyone actually know the best method to remove the bezel without it going to rolex. Also best method to put new bezel on? As its not going to rolex I want to know the correct procedure. New bezel gasket? Does it need to be greased? Bezel press? Or does it pop in like older models?

Either a 4 blade tool or a razor. Use a light hammer to jam the razor in between the case and bezel, then pry it off with a pocket knife. If you're careful it can be done with leaving a mark.

I'd recommend using a new crystal gasket after removal, part number 29-317-3.

Thanks I ended up doing it myself today, it came out fine, little dint where bezel meets case but can't be seen when bracelet is on going to get it pressure tested before I get it wet. I didn't replace the crystal gasket well the pressure test will find out if i need it I suppose
