Usually Friction/preasure. some have been found to use a mild adhesive as well. a simple light glue should due the trick. I like white glue as it is easy to remove and the bond is secure without being overly strong. usually though I try to make sure that I can get a solid friction-only fit. I only use glue when that proves impossible.

Ok, As I had a all black 007 bezel insert, and guessed removing the 009 red/blue insert even with a small sharp tipped blade might damage it.

So I should not have to use any type of cement other than the white glue you mentioned?

Thanks so much ;)

The 6005 Rally divers and skx007 bezel inserts I've removed have been both friction fit and clear double sided tape. First I remove the bezel using an exact o knife to lift the bezel off the case. Then I use a very thin case back opener and gently work it between the bezel and insert, moving around from underneath.

Be carefull: If you try to stick a knife under the bezel at 2:00 or 7:00 o'clock positions, you might damage the spring ring underneath the bezel (the one that make it rotate unidirectionaly).

Make sure to push your knife at 10 or 4 o'clock.
