Suggestion for a glue to stick bezel lume pip…

I am looking to glue a lume pip onto a bezel that wasn’t designed to hold one. It has a small mounting pin on the back of the pip which I intend to remove. Want to glue it to the bezel, but don’t want it to be permanent and damage it if I ever want to remove in future. (Otherwise I’d just use Araldite!) The watch never touches water (for diving), and I’m very careful on my watches. If it falls off, well no big deal.

Any suggestions for a suitable adhesive?
