    I have soldered belt buckle bezels before so I can sympathies with
    your dilemma. The way I have achieved this is to use a rose bud to
    apply heat. Its many orifice tip provides a larger heat spread and
    will bring the piece up to temp much quicker. Using a piece of
    hardware cloth will help in keeping the heat transfer to a minimum.
    if a rosebud won't do it alone, use it to keep the piece hot and use
    a smaller directed tip to flow the solder by applying heat to the
    outside to draw the solder out.   Ringman
