Nice Pick-up Bro.....! Is it running on ETA7750? Love it!

An English man stopped at a local restaurant following a day roaming around in Andalucía.While sipping his Cervesa, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter being served
at the next table. Not only did it look good, the smell was wonderful.
He asked the waiter, 'What is that you just served?' The waiter replied, 'Ah senor, you have
excellent taste! Those are called Cojones de Toro, bull's testicles, from the bull fight this
morning. A delicacy!'
The man said, 'What the heck, bring me an order.' The waiter replied, 'I am so sorry senor.
There is only one serving per day because there is only one bull fight each morning. If you
come early and place your order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy.'
The next morning, the man returned, placed his order, and that evening was served the one
and only special delicacy of the day. After a few bites, inspecting his platter, he called to the
waiter and said, 'These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller than the ones I saw
you serve yesterday.'
The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, 'Si, Senor, sometimes the bull wins.’

Looks nice, but it looks like you over sharpen it a bit, imho!

Thanks for the post!

If I understand it correctly, you just need to replace the broken ceramic INSERT, right? Koz there's no way you could break the SS bezel!
It's really very easy, use a Paint and Varnish stripper, apply it around the top of the broken ceramic, but more on the part where it chipped or broke,
let it soak for a bit....then use a flat screw driver and slowly peel it off. After you're done, clean up the bezel real good, make sure there's no left over
glue or debris.......blow dry it a bit!
Now apply a dab of Gorilla glue around the perimeter of the bezel ( do not put too much), just a smidgin.....or else you'll glue the bezel to the case,
let it stand for a minute or two, now press in place the new Ceramic bezel and move it around slowly to spread the glue, align the 60 sec marker,
and let it settle and dry for a whole day! If you have a 30mm crystal press disc, put it on top and put like 1lb weight that you could balance well.
You're good to go in a day. These what I did with mine and it worked great!

Generally, no. But, in this case, you should either hunt around for a better fitting crystal (gens are always best, though you may then need to mod the bezel) or use UV glue.
The bezel is designed to fit tightly around the crystal & should be pressed onto the case, which forms a seal. As has been discussed ad nauseum, there is no real QC & little consistency among aftermarket parts. DW's cases are especially notorious for having ill-fitting components & causing constructors much grief.

Awaiting his reply.......I also asked him to post something here to clear things up.

So you used CA/ Superglue on the crystal?....
I don't know what CA is, but I used Gorrila Glue:
No fogging or anything, just great product! This is my goto glue~!

Good news......I got an email from him last night........I'll try and share with him everyone's concern.

Most of the models under 400 have either quartz movement or Selita Auto......that's why it's cheap.

I hope they rep Pride of Siam!

If the MerLion Posse here are reading this, maybe one of you could shed a light on what's going on with Spin! Hope he's okay, it's not like him to do this. I have had a few deals
with him and it's always been on the up and up!
