Just occurred to me that cementing sextant filters back on their bezels is exactly what watchmakers do when they put a watch crytal on the watch bezel. Here's a link to a supplier GSS Germanow-Simon. It's got a neat little applicator- a small bore hypo needle. Makes a nice neat job when bezel lip is thin. Smells like 'Model Airplane Glue', but I don't know if the high is the same!
