Daytona builds are expensive but lots of amazing builds here. Pretty much every detail of every available option has been compared and contrasted. Search will find them for you. Lots of experts, reach out and make some friends.

Good to know. Thx for the reply.

Great work Legend. Going to need this.

Sweet!!! Thanks.

Hey all, question for you. Are there strap makers that provide their own inserts for the proper strap fit for APs? If so which ones? I tried sourcing spares form a TD but was told they were not available. I really like the perfect fit provided by the inserts. Any extra known solutions greatly appreciated.

Whoa, that a lot of sucker!!! Aggressive.

Glad you got it sorted, at least temporarily. Just a tolerance stack up problem. Have to get the right thickness and assembly. In the meantime, just leave it out. Cheers

The bezel washer is designed to push up (away from dial) on the bezel to put the under inside lip of the bezel in frictional contact with the lip of the crystal retaining ring. This prevents the bezel from turning too easily. However, if the washer is too thick or bent, or something else is bent (crystal retaining ring is not straight), it gets too stiff. If you remove the washer all together there should be plenty of play between the bezel and crystal retaining ring and the bezel should turn easily, too easily technically. If the washer is too thick, it will put too much friction between the bezel and crystal retaining ring and it won't turn easily. You can sand down the thickness of the washer to just the right thickness to get the right balance. Note, even though the bezel seems like it won't turn, I bet if you push down towards the dial on the bezel with even pressure and then try and rotate it, it will turn. Pushing down reduces the pressure the bezel washer is causing between the bezel and crystal retaining ring and allows the bezel to turn. Hope this makes sense. Good luck!!

Just try the assembly without the washer at all. Should work just the same only much easier to turn. The washer is just for tensioning. If it works without the washer you know the problem and just a matter of fixing. You can get replacement washers from Clarke or try sanding. The way it works it's likely not the OD or ID but the thickness.

Sick car brah!

Fakes of course.

If you go to Thailand every single store sells them including pharmacies, restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, retail outlets, massage parlors (allegedly), and oh yeah electronic stores. It's actually quite comical. They are for sale literally everywhere.

I have a rep dial I can measure.

With a top hat. :-)

^^^^ what the hell is that?
