Marathon Rotating Bezel Repair

Recommended Posts

Hi

I have a Quartz Marathon Navigator with a Rotating Bezel that is frozen. I would like to remove the bezel, clean it up and hopefully get it working again. Having never worked on one, I'm not sure how the bezel is removed. Can anyone advise me on how to remove the bezel.

Thank you,

Tony

The bezels are usuall removed using a claw tool which prises off the bezel  with even pressure round its circuference releasing it they normaly have a spring clip which retains the bezel, easily lost as the bezel is released.  I have attached an image of the tool.      cheers

While the tool pictured above is certainly useful, it is not said that is absolutely needed to remove a rotating bezel. Look for a slight indentation on the lower edge of the bezel that would allow to insert a Japanese style case knife and pry. Do not rotate to tool.

Also be aware that if the bezel. Is very tight it will need a case press and dies to be reinstalled.
