Re: will blue bezel fade on smp?
In Response To: will blue bezel fade on smp? ()

hey, i wanted to tell you that i have had a problem with my SMP's blue bezel. When i was putting some things away in my garage, my SMP scratched the surface of some unfinished wood. I now have a slight scratch by the 40 marking (7) number that is now apart of the bezel. Oh well its permanent.
I had just got it that day too. No warranty because its my fault. Both of us have bezel problems. I heard that once you do some kind of damage to bezel, its $150-$180 to replace. Not fix, but replace. Good luck, I just say forget about it and just enjoy the watch.
take care & good luck
Robert
