Love the watch except for the bezel. It has numerous scratches and the finish is crap. Anyone ever mod the bezel with a different one? Help!

Are you wanting to mod it yourself or looking for someone to do it for you?

there are many bezel insert replacement threads on the web by googling...Ofrei carries bezel inserts and you would have to measure the diameter of the one in the Invicta for a match....to send it out you would probably pay than doing it yourself but if it is something you really care for there are numerous modders who can handle the job ....just use the search engine for "modders" here on 3T hand6.gif

the easiest way is to get a different bezel that fits the watch .... take off the old one and put a new one into place .... usually bezels are not difficult to change out .... or you could take off that bezel and paint it up any way you like  hand6.gif

Would love to do it myself but I've never done it before.

It looks like it's a 42mm bezel at the outer ring and about 30mm inner. I cannot find any replacement bezels this size.

Wrath your Invicta is 44mm I believe and is the "Scooby" as we all know it....Contact 3T member RayK at rkammer@cfl.rr.com ...he did my bracelet mod on one of my 1st generation 8928 Invictas and is a great guy to deal withhand6.gif

Out of curiosity, how does one repaint and renumber an original bezel?
