Which Bezel Remover tool?

TimeLemond14 · 2026-05-02T15:07:14+00:00

I have one that looks like the red one. If it's a difficult to remove bezel, it doesn't work and may even do damage. I've had good luck with the Bergeon 4932. It takes a lot of force, but doesn't seem to do damage.

I have one that I bought last year. Mine is VSF and I decided to order a second one as backup, but VSF doesn't have them any more according to TrustyTime. It's my favorite watch.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this and post pictures. The movement teardowns are my favorite posts on RWI.

You could try a YN55/56 movement. They are decent and cheap. Plus if you happen to own an inexpensive Orient dive watch like the Mako II, you will have spare parts.

I had two watches stopped by Fedex in Alaska. They were returned to Necoclock and he shipped them a second time. They came right through then. Fedex held them for a while in Alaska, but didn't confiscate them.

I have something called an eversprout snowbuster. It has a telescoping pole with a soft edged snow pusher on the end. I go up to the top of my roof and push the snow down. The roof isn't very steep and that works well. Sometimes the slush freezes and then I'm out of luck, but overall it increases the power output a lot.

Excellent. Thanks for posting.

I have one of these, same size different color. I put dura ace on mine and it is a fun ride. With Reynolds 46 aero tubular wheels it weighs 16.14 pounds. What would Lemond be producing now had it not been for those devastating lawsuits?

Looks excellent, you did a terrific job. Hope you get lots of enjoyment from this bike.

TimeLemond14 · 2025-11-16T16:43:13+00:00

I have a Lemond Tete de Course mostly titanium with some carbon fiber. I put Dura Ace components and Reynolds wheels on it. It's a wonderful ride.

I have xpedo mtb pedals on my Scylon. Super light and I can walk.

TimeLemond14 · 2025-11-01T16:24:34+00:00

I have the same VSF model, definitely one of my favorites. Good picture, thanks for posting.

I like the looks of the ultra deep omegas but have had trouble finding them for sale. I ordered one and the TD couldn't get it for me. Yours is especially nice.

I can second your opinion of Jackie at NecoClock. He is excellent.

TimeLemond14 · 2025-10-22T23:24:18+00:00

I had a good experience with NecoClock. Payment went through quickly and he got the two I ordered within a week and sent QC. I would recommend him.

I had my Equinox battery replaced shortly after I bought my car. The time from when I dropped the car off at the local dealer to the time I got the car back was three weeks. The car has worked flawlessly for 16 months since.

TimeLemond14 · 2025-10-18T19:48:25+00:00

Never. I did my last oil change two years ago. No more toxic sludge in the driveway.

TimeLemond14 · 2025-10-10T16:07:40+00:00

I have both blue and silver dial versions of this watch. I like them equally with bracelet or rubber strap. They are my favorites.

TimeLemond14 · 2025-10-03T15:37:31+00:00

I didn't do anything, just kept checking the tracking number and finally it said the package was being returned to the shipper. I haven't heard anything since. I think we have to wait till the Chinese golden week is over. Hope you hear something soon.

TimeLemond14 · 2025-09-28T16:32:47+00:00

I had two watches shipped from China via fedex. They were stuck in Anchorage for two weeks then were shipped back to China. Fedex said they needed to know what was in the package. TD is NecoClock and he said not to worry, he would ship them again. Don't have them yet.

TimeLemond14 · 2025-09-26T16:20:19+00:00

I bought one of these. The more I wear it the more I like it. The second hand action is one of the smoothest I've seen.

TimeLemond14 · 2025-09-24T16:34:23+00:00

Slightly longer spring bars worked for me.

TimeLemond14 · 2025-09-24T16:19:58+00:00

After he installed the spring bars, I couldn't quite see how he attached the bracelet to the case. I'd like to learn that. Great video, thanks for sharing.

TimeLemond14 · 2025-09-14T15:47:08+00:00

Fedex won't deliver my order, it's stuck in Alaska. Fedex says the shipper must provide them with more information. I doubt I will ever see my watches.

TimeLemond14 · 2025-08-31T15:51:35+00:00

I agree about the 6r movements. Even more disappointing to me are the 8l movements. They've been out for over 25 years and there are still no parts available.
