To remove the bezel lift the tabs slightly and rotate the bezel
until the tabs line up with the holes in the body rim. Carefully
lift the glass. After that the bezel and glass can be cleaned.
Do not bother to replace the sealing. It is not necessary and
counterproductive as now trapped moisture can easily evaporate.<br>
