  11. 6238 V72 Silver dial

    I think DW offered smooth bezels for his 6239/6263 case but, he had disappeared from the net before I decided to gather parts. Anyway, his smooth bezel was a bit too tall and I found it off. Smooth bezels are simple and it's not that hard to make one by yourself if you have access to a lathe. I used a hobby lathe for making the bezel and the movement ring for this build.
    There are sellers on the bay who offer smooth bezels for 36mm oyster cases but, they cannot be used off-the-shelf because of the brim at the bottom of crystal retaining ring on the DW cases. This means you anyway need a lathe.
     
    I agree with you and I like the oyster style of pre-Daytonas.


    For those looking for smooth bezel for their builds, I got my mine for my pre Daytona from JMB.

  16. WSO bezel 5513

    Hey guys, 
     
    has anyone had quality issues with WSO bezel assemblys for 5513 rolies ? 
     
    I used to buy from them a bit and the quality was decent, but this bezel I just recieved is utter garbage ! And doesn't fit a gen case at all, the friction disk doesn't fit or stay in lol it's just garbage. 
     
    Anyone know of if any other aftermarket bezel makers that are of good quality ? This is for a 5517 build and I don't want some cheap looking bezel. 
     
    Cheers!
    C.


    Had exact same problem as you. Bought on eBay from wso.
