>     What is the best way to remove the film?

    Pickle, I did a lot of research before I bought some and several
    articles I read said to pickle it again, it worked for me. As far as
    using Argentium for the bezel, I don't think I would, Argentium will
    get nearly twice as hard as regular sterling which means you will
    have to press about 3 times as hard to get the bezel over from what
    you are currently using and if you slip... could mean a new stone or
    other setting.

Good luck
Terry
