Method to replace Sinn Lume Triangle on Bezel?

[banie01]

Happy New Year folks, I hope the festive season was a good one and that livers are recovering well ;)

I purchased a Sinn U2 bezel a few months ago that needed a new a new Lume Triangle as the one in place was quite faded.
I bought the new Triangle from Sinn but I'm wondering what the correct install method is?
There's no adhesive on the Triangle, so I am assuming its a straightforward case of.
1. Remove old triangle.
2. Clean out cavity.
3. Thin drop of Superglue
4. drop in new Triangle
5. Enjoy new super bright tegimented bezel :D

My method is probably arseways so I am hoping some of the more experienced bods here can give me a steer?

My guess is…..

Dig out the old lume. Cocktail stick might work. Failing that a needle or tiny screwdriver.
I would mask around it just in case you slip.

Shine a torch on the pip to see if one side is brighter than the other.
Brighter side up.
Test to see if the pip fits before you glue.

Tiny bit spot of superglue on the bezel. Then drop in position.

It might not do any harm calling the UK Sinn service agent and asking them. I have found them very helpful in the past.

Pretty much my own thinking too, although I'd forgotten the benefit of a torch. Thanks for the reply.

I got around to undertaking this job today.
The hardest part of this was to remove the existing faded pip.
It was too resilient for a toothpick but, it yielded to a 1.2mm flathead screwdriver 😁
Once I had the old pip out, a combo of screwdriver and toothpick cleared out the recess.

Once the recess was empty, a quick further clean with an alcohol soaked cotton bud.
Then it was a case of checking which side of the pip was the luminous one, to be sure I got it right on install.

The most delicate part of the install was using a toothpick to drop a miniscule amount of super glue into the recess.
Enough for adhesion but as little as possible to ensure no excess or seepage.
The job is done, and I'm happy with it.
