How do you get that bezel to pop back in place. "Click" to Login or Register

Can someone give me a hint on how to get a bezel to pop back into place easily. When taking pictures of a watch for sale I have to remove the crystal and bezel. That is the easy part, I find it very hard to get them back, especially on a HC watch. It does not matter if it is glass or acrylic. Any Hints?

I start 180 degrees from the point it was removed, usually 8 o'clock open face 12 o'clock hunting, I believe the lips are more pronounced there, work it on both sides evenly from there, rubbing some beeswax inside bezel rim helps. I'm always in fear of breaking the crystal
