I'm old, from SOCAL, Northern Nevada, and now Alabama. I seek variety, quality, and something that piques my interest. I do not invest in watches but strongly admire quality/ $$.

Mark from Long Island Watch has a YouTube video on his Kamasu bezels and inserts but warned that it is extremely difficult to remove the Kamasu bezel (see below at 1:58). I think he said he had to almost pry it out and it was not usable after (but that his replacement bezels popped in and out more easily).

Good luck.

That's a good moral booster. I wish he would have gone into more detail on the removal. Uggg. I'll keep working on it. Tnx for the reply.
I messed up one of mine trying to get it off too!! Have done 4 Orient mods and 1 was a pain in at ass to remove. I used a knife to pop it up then the case back tool
The process was difficult and potentially damaging to the watch. After trying the case knife, it purchased a bezel removal tool. That too was a loss. I conferred w Marc from Long Island Watch and he suggested a Dremil w a small cutter blade. Being EXTREMELY careful, success. It came off and the new bezel/insert fit perfectly. The case suffered damage only from pry marks when using the bezel removal tool. Should have used Dremil first.
