There is a small screw that appears to attach the raised lume pip to the bezel. I haven't seen or heard of anyone removing it yet, but it looks like it can be done.

Looks rubbish without it but it simply unscrews as illustrated above.

I don't have one (a pic) sorry.
While undoing that screw might enable you simply to remove the luminous zero, it might also be part of whatever secures the bezel. If you do decide to experiment and remove the screw, you should probably hold everything in place as you allow the screw to fall free and check whether the bezel is still secure before removing the bit you dislike.

@artec: Nope. The screw just holds the pip and the bezel is 100% secure without it. It's also 100% wrong without it but that's another matter...

Seems to me it would leave a hideous gap if removed, basically ruining the look of the watch.

Bezel insert? Isn't it a solid piece?
:think: I Concur!
Do you know what´s under the pip ? Another tiangle ? Maybe a "60" ? I´d like to know before I´ll buy one. ( watch, not pip )

looking at it under a loop it looks like it could be removed ( Bezel Insert on a 323 ) or i'm i incorrect ?? you can remove the insert from a SKX007, A35 etc. ?? Right?
I understand the SKX Monster Bezel is solid.... Should have been more clear as to what SKX.... My Bad. Just a thought. I hate the "PIP" too. I bought both the 323 and 325 to do the Bezel swap. But now i think the 325 with the 323 Bezel would look much better with a different insert minus the "PIP"
I'm a newbie just learning.....

It's so ugly the way it is now, you'd better just send me that hideous watch so you don't have to look at it.

An empty space which frankly looks ridiculous. The watch needs to be worn with the "pip" or you'll look like some kind of lunatic with a broken watch.
If so, can I change the hole bezel, did anybody try ? Where have all the modders gone ?

Never trust someone who has no pip.
Gladys Knight had three just to be on the safe side.
I remember it being posted here that the SKX bezels don't fit. My quickie measurements seem to confirm this.
LMFAO! Ha ha! Good one!
But you have to make sure that the pip is large like the ones on the Stargate . . coz you do not want to have a tiny 'pip-squeak' mounted on that bezel! :-d

I don't necessarily like the tumor... eh, pip. But it's not a deal breaker for me because I really love the bezel. Engraved numbers, gentle slope that follows the curve of the crystal and a low-profile single row of knurled grip incisions make it a winner in my book. At some point some enterprising modder may come up with a replacement part for the pip (like maybe a cupholder).
