  1. I did a similar thing on my silix bezel, I don't have the necessary skills to re shape the bezel but my brass plating turned out ok

    My case work is obviously not as good as rolojack's but I'm happy with how my watch turned out

  2. About 2 hours after I put the dial in yesterday the movement died (cheap dg2813) I thought the keyless felt a bit crunchy when I put it together, luckily I had an old citizen watch with a miyota which is a direct swap so it's all back together and working properly again

  3. I bought a HR case a while ago because the side profile shape is very good, closer to gen than any others I've seen, though it does need to be thinned. I like the case-back much better as well. 
    In regards to the bezel/crystal mounting, mine is not the gen design using the pressed on retainer to secure the crystal, and the bezel clipping on the retainer with the spring, instead it is the cement-in crystal 'trough'.   Have they changed them, or did I misunderstand your post?  

    As I understand it the sapphire crystal is pressed into the rehaut but doesn't have a retaining ring on top, just a really tight fit and a gasket So the plexi is shaped in the same way as the sapphire and also just pressed in tightly with the same gasket being used.
    But what do I know I just let rolojack work his magic
