Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and integrity of your Ringke Bezel Styling, follow these simple guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the bezel regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, fingerprints, and smudges. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the stainless steel finish.
- Adhesive Care: The 3M Double-Coated Tapes provide a strong bond, even in water. However, to ensure long-term adhesion, avoid unnecessary removal or repositioning of the bezel once installed.
- Water Exposure: While the adhesive is water-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals (e.g., strong detergents, solvents) or extreme temperatures may affect its performance over time. Rinse with fresh water after swimming or exposure to saltwater.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Ringke Bezel Styling, consider the following:
- Adhesive Not Sticking:
- Ensure the watch bezel was thoroughly cleaned and dry before application. Any oil or dust can prevent proper adhesion.
- Verify that the protective film was fully removed from the adhesive.
- Ensure sufficient pressure was applied during installation and that the 12-hour curing time was observed.
- Note that repeated removal and reapplication will significantly weaken the adhesive.
- Misalignment:
- The bezel styling is designed for a precise fit. If it appears misaligned, it may be due to improper initial placement. Due to the strong adhesive, repositioning after initial contact is difficult and not recommended.
