    This is absolutely the way to solder this behemoth. I've done it
    several times. Use a large tip and a big bushy flame. Heat the whole
    piece, but don't expect all the solder to flow at the same time.
    Once the piece is hot, focus more in one area, and work your way
    around the bezel as the solder flows. Just be careful not to put the
    flame right on the bezel, or you'll have one more piece for the
    casting scrap.
