New GMT from Trevor, love it! A bit more body then my LV.

Thanx mate! The scratch is barely visible in real life, so no sleepless nights haha! :-)

hi there, 1. You can do it, if I can you can. It isn't that difficult. I will try and find a tutorial for the stem removal. 2. On it...:-) 3. Wouldn't do it with that particular method. A bezel remover should do the trick though.

If I had the black bezel, I would probably also mod it with a clearcoat. I did it on my orange bezel CrPO, check my thread in this section somewhere.

The bezel is not as gen either....on the real deal only the ' 50' marker is engraved. ​ That DW is a must have for my CrPO though

Double post....

Welcome fellow Dutchie! Genoeg te ontdekken en leren hiero. Your watches being seized by customs sucks! Did you get a fine too? I am in the repscene for a while now and, thank god, have never experienced this. **also knocks on wood**

Thanks mate! Heating the bezel does work, but indeed does take a lot of time and effort to get the final result. Removing the crystal makes it a lot easier. You can then get from the inside of the case to the bezel inside. With a sharp knife you can then cut the tape that holds the bezel loose. I did not have a crystal press and although they don't cost much, I couldn't wait any longer to get that bezel mod done. The coating should resist water and UV (not yellowing) and it is pretty cratch resistant as I read some reviews on the net. We shall see how it holds...

I know exactly what you mean mate. Indeed it sucked big time that the scratch happened, but is was my own stupid fault...I was a bit f*cked up about not getting the bezel off quicker. But afterwards I am more happy with the matte result, repositioned pearl and triangle, ten the little scratch itself. Sounds cheeky but the scratch is way more visible in the photos then in real life.

Correct! I have a 42 and the hour hand is from a 45 I guess.

thanks guys...indeed it is a 42mm.

The first thing I noticed when receiving the pumpkin CrPO was the shine on the bezel. It was exactly like the older version PO, too much shine compared to the newer CrPO that has a matte finish. Old style pumpkin bezel: New style bezel: So I decided to mod the bezel. A matte coating would possibly do the job. So step one was removing the bezel. Having done this on a PloProf before I thought heating it up would do the trick. Well, it did, after a wild ride... Blisters on my fingers (heated aluminium is no fun) as a result and a little scratch on the bezel later I could finally take it off. Remving the crystal if you have a press is a easier job (Sunnydale tried this before). The bezel off: I popped the pearl out (was not sitting perfectly) and tipped the black triangle with a touch of black paint (Tamiya, plastic model paint) Then I went on spraying the bezel with three coats of matte clear coat finish. Then I reinstalled the pearl. And a (test)fit on the watchcase: It makes all the difference I think! What do you guys think?

You cannot read it when the caseback is screwed on...

Bought it at Trusty Time, I do not know if it is a trusted delaer on this board, but it is on others. USD 328 for a swiss eta. It is one of the new ceramic versions that came out lately.

Nice catch an a good cleanup there. Wear it well!

Came in today!

New style pumpkin says hello :-)

Looks great dude! That is one of the best pearls I've seen so far, tight!
