All very interesting, and not to be argumentative, but to me all of this hocus-pocus about chemicals, soap, shampoo, etc....does not compute. We also have the technologies in adhesives to make the glues impervious to chemical agents except those specifically designed to release the adhesive when properly applied.
When I read things like this that tend to absolve the manufacturer of responsibility for poor workmanship/material when something like this happens, I get a little upset. I recognize that this may be the watch manufacturer's, but I also recognize the common sense and experience of the buyers...and virtually all reasonable people would consider an incident like this, especially happening to a WIS who takes great care of his watches, as a manufacturer's responsibility. It is, in fact, an isolated incident of poor workmanship and/or material. If a piece of exterior trim falls off of my warranted automobile, the manufacturer does not tell me about heat, extreme conditions, road salt, chemicals, sea spray, commercial car washes, pollutants, etc. He simply repairs the cars and says, "sorry"!
I do appreciate the tutorial on replacing a bezel...very interesting and informative!
Well put, Ken. I don't care if the air temp was 100 and CJ jumped into 60 degree water. A serious diving watch with a price tag like the Limes better damn well be ready for any eventuality. And there is no reason for CJ to attempt the fix on his own even if they send him the insert!!
Regardless, thanks for the tutorial, Matt. Very informative!!
