    Holy mother.. sorry to say but that bracelet is crap.
    Wondering how MQ dares to ask a $300 and more.

    I really hope you can send it back and get a refund.

    Nanuq‘s idea is great too. I‘m in the process of doing the same to have a affordadble 9315.
    As said, for a 93150 i‘d stick to a Castel/JKF one. They are pretty good for the € and do what they should.

  2. Hey guys, I’m pretty deep into a 1665 double red franken, I have a gen clasp already, but I’m looking for a 93150 with either 580 or 585 end links.

    Can you gentlemen recommend how to source this bracelet?

    I just spent $380 buying a 93150 rep from MQ but it’s really shocking quality, I’ve asked to return it.

    Well best is to stick to the TDs here and ask them. Or get a JKF sub with 21j movement, take the bracelet off and sell the rest.

    Might share a few pics of MQ‘s 93150? That would be great!

  3. This is valjoux only correct? What’s your plan on the movement?

    If it really only fits valjoux it would be easier to get a MQ case with correct engravings and proper pushers instead of reshaping the hell out of it and having it engraved for some serious $.

  4. Would not recommend this. My guess is the seller possibly confused/mixed up a different bezel or ring. The whole sale outlet assembly will be just fine. The only question will be the crystal fit. If that is truly an MBW case, a gen crystal should work fine and the bezel assembly should work well.

    Don’t meant the new retainer OP ordered, I meant the old one the bezel falls off from.

    Would make no sense if he‘d punch the new one wider lol
  5. Heres the bezel that came off it

    U could try this:

     

    Take the retainer and put it on a hard/ even surface. Get a hammer and a screwdriver ( - ).

     

    Place the screwdriver on the part of the retainer where the friction washer sits (see pic).

     

    Give it a slightly punsh with the hammer, that it makes a small groove in the retainer. Do that on the other site too.

     

    Now put the friction washer back on and press the bezel on the retainer.

    U should feel that it clips tighter then before, if not, give it one more punsh with the hammer.

     

    The reason why the bezel falls off is that the retainers outer diameter became too small for the bezel itself and has no more grip to hold it.

     

    That’s what I did to a few bezel assembly’s to get them absolutely tight again (vietnam and cartel).

    Edit: As english isn’t my first language here’s a pic which should explain what I mean lol

  6. Well u need to be more specific on the bezel assembly you ordered from the bay.

    Next is: If the seller claimed everything is working fine, i‘d contact him and ask if he knew about the bezel problem. If it’s falling off simply cause you‘re wearing it, he knew and ripped u off- at least with the bezel.

    Just my 0.02

  7. I'll do my best.  A few things will have to happen for this to be a real project.  I will have to get enough funds to pay someone who can create the final CNC file for 5 axis machines.   And.... I'll have to figure out how to create the closes shape to acceptable crown guards before I send my Vietnam 5513 case.    My Vietnam 5513 Case is the closest thing I have to genuine but it has the 1990 thick looking crown guards.   Most people want the 1960's looking crown guards.  So before I would send my midcase to the guy to take accurate measurements, I would want to fix the crown guards or everyone will be bitching. LOL  (The picture I used above is from the internet to just show a quick description of my question)

    Sounds good, great effort.
    I wouldn’t bother the fatter cgs as most people reshape them nevertheless.
    The more material there is in this area, the better it’s to reshape to the look you want.

    I‘d do it as standard with thick CG’s and leave it, that everybody can shape its own CG’s to his preferences- PCG/SCG/ standard.

    And sorry that I couldn’t help you out about the measurements fella.

    Cheers
  8. I‘d say it’s no 4 digit case, as they hadn’t a groove for the o ring at the case where the caseback screws on to.

    The same with the o ring groove where the crowntube screws in.

    Crownguards are standard, not pointed.

    What’s the asking price?

    I‘d stay away.

  9. Have a look between the lugs for a reference number.

    Don’t know what you mean by pointed crowns. If you refer to pointed crown guards, this one looks like a standard crown guard case which got a few polishes over time.

    A few more pics would help.

    From the first sight this looks to be a five digit sub case imo

  10. Or guy that worked on watch switched parts. I sent a watch (to a known modder) with gen open 6 DW- came back with a rep DW. It happens.

    That would be the second option, yep.
    Top bad those things happen.
