Setup and Installation
Replacing the bezel on your G-SHOCK DW-5600E is a straightforward process. You will need a small Phillips head screwdriver.
- Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure you have a clean, well-lit, and stable surface to work on. Place a soft cloth or mat down to prevent scratching your watch.
- Remove the Old Bezel:
- Locate the four screws on the sides of the watch case that secure the bezel.
- Carefully unscrew these four screws using your Phillips head screwdriver. Keep the screws in a safe place as they will be reused.
- Gently lift the old bezel away from the watch module. It may be slightly adhered due to dust or age.
- Clean the Watch Module: Before installing the new bezel, take this opportunity to gently clean any dust or debris from the watch module and buttons using a soft brush or air blower.
- Position the New Bezel:
- Align the new genuine bezel with the watch module, ensuring that the button cutouts on the bezel match the watch's buttons.
- Press the bezel down firmly but gently, making sure it sits flush against the watch case.
- Secure the New Bezel:
- Reinsert the four screws into their respective holes.
- Tighten the screws evenly, but do not overtighten, as this can strip the threads or damage the bezel/case. Tighten until snug.
- Final Check: Test all watch buttons to ensure they operate freely and are not obstructed by the new bezel. Confirm the bezel is securely attached and there are no gaps.

Maintenance
To keep your new bezel looking its best and to prolong its lifespan:
- Cleaning: Wipe the bezel regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the resin material and the printed lettering.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing your new bezel, consider the following:
- Bezel Does Not Fit Properly: Double-check that your watch module number (1545 or 3229) matches the compatible models. Ensure the bezel is correctly oriented and all four screws are aligned with their respective holes before tightening.
- Buttons Are Stiff or Stuck: This usually indicates that the bezel is not perfectly aligned or is overtightened. Loosen the screws slightly, adjust the bezel's position, and then retighten evenly. Ensure no debris is lodged around the buttons.
- Screws Do Not Tighten: Ensure you are using the original screws and that they are not stripped. Do not force them. If the screw holes on the watch case are damaged, professional repair may be required.
