Sogeha Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 The first picture pixelated quickly as I zoomed the image and I'm not very knowledgable, but the first thing I always look at is the centre pinion. Most reps have an open pinion and Rolex is capped. This seems to be capped. That's about all I can say. Others know much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Looks like a nice rep, but hard to make out details based on the fuzzy pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OffshoreWatchExports Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 How's the weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickFlorida Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 If this is the newer Cartel case, did you leave the crown guards as is or did you shape anything on case including lugs? Also, did you get a new bezel assembly? The cartel insert is glued instead of pressure fitted. Mine fell off so I'm buying an after market bezel assembly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denimhead Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi Rick Yes the newer cartel case, CG's squared off on the inside and softened on the outer edges. Apart from that lug holes drilled 1.3mm, aging polishing aging polishing.......Cartel bezel slightly lowered with gen insert which snapped straight in. I've found that if you make the tension spring as flat as possible then it holds it firm, do not bend it otherwise there isn't enough edge to catch the bezel firm. You could always buy a proper tension spring and just lower the bezels height by sanding it down. Cheers DH 18 hours ago, OffshoreWatchExports said: How's the weight?

Cheers DH Same as gen at roughly 117grams ive found giving it a slight bend so that it resembles a pringles chip gives it the best tension. push down and turn to use the bezel, when not in use it doesnt move from the tension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
